Jaden Wolfe adjusted his collar in the mirror, brushing away a speck of lint that didn't exist. The penthouse suite buzzed with pre-shoot energy - stylists, assistants, photographers - but he stood quietly in the corner, like a ghost in a mansion he didn't belong in.
He liked it that way.
To them, he was just another male model - the face of the new ZORA Noir fragrance. To him, this was just another job. Another city. Another nameplate to stand behind.
What no one knew was that Jaden Wolfe had once sat at the head of boardrooms. That he had a degree in economics from Oxford. That the Wolfe family fortune - one of the largest in the Western hemisphere - was his birthright.
But he'd left that life behind. Seven years ago.
"Jaden, we're ready for you," a soft voice called from the doorway. It was Amara Briggs, the PR head. He liked her. She was the only one in this circus who didn't pretend to be better than she was.
He nodded, following her through the corridor that led to the rooftop. Sunlight spilled across the skyline, and in the center of it all stood her.
Zara Okoye.
Her posture was straight, her gaze sharp, dressed in a white power suit that shimmered in the sun like polished marble. Rumor had it she was made of ice. Jaden wasn't so sure.
He stepped onto the set. Her eyes met his - amber, observant, unreadable.
"You're late," she said coolly.
"Or maybe I'm the only one moving on real time," Jaden replied, a lazy grin tugging at his lips.
A flicker crossed her face. Surprise. Amusement. Then it was gone.
She turned away. "Let's begin."
And just like that, Jaden Wolfe - hidden billionaire - began his first day serving a woman who had no idea she'd just met her match.
