CHAPTER 1

ARIARule number one: Never be late for a job interview.Rule number two: If you're already late, don't call a stranger an asshole.Unfortunately...I managed to break both rules before ten o'clock in the morning."Move! Sorry! Excuse me!"I squeezed through the crowded sidewalk, clutching my folder to my chest while trying not to trip over my own feet.My alarm hadn't gone off. The bus had broken down. Then I'd spilled coffee on my only white blouse.If the universe wanted me unemployed, it could've just said so. I glanced at my phone.9:54 A.M.My interview was at ten. "No, no, no..."This wasn't just any interview.This was Blackwood International. One of the biggest companies in the country. I finally reached the towering glass building.For a moment, I simply stood there, trying to catch my breath. The skyscraper stretched so high that I had to tilt my head back. "Wow..." I whispered. "This building is so tall it probably argues with aeroplanes."I laughed at my own joke. Then remem

CHAPTER 2

ARIAMy soul quietly left my body. I stared at the man sitting at the head of the long conference table. The same man. The same cold grey eyes. The same man I had called an asshole less than ten minutes ago.Maybe if I closed my eyes long enough, he'd disappear. He didn't. The room was silent. Every executive sat perfectly straight as if they were afraid to breathe too loudly.And there I was... Trying to remember if prison accepted people whose only crime was insulting their future boss. "Miss Bennett." His deep voice pulled me back to reality. I blinked."Y-Yes, sir." "If you're done staring at me..." His lips curved ever so slightly. "...please have a seat." Heat rushed to my cheeks.I forced my legs to move and sat in the empty chair opposite him. The leather seat suddenly felt like an electric chair. One of the interviewers cleared his throat."Good morning, Miss Bennett. I'm Richard Evans, Head of Human Resources. I smiled politely."Good morning." He glanced at my resume."You g

ARIAHave you ever smiled… even when your stomach was tying itself into knots? That was me. Standing outside Blackwood International at exactly 7:30 a.m., thirty minutes earlier than my reporting time.After yesterday's disaster, I had made myself one promise. I would never be late again. I looked up at the glass skyscraper, its windows reflecting the golden morning sun."Okay, Aria," I whispered, taking a deep breath. "New job. New beginning." A grin tugged at my lips. "Just don't call anyone an asshole today."The receptionist greeted me with a warm smile. "Good morning, Miss Bennett." I smiled."Good morning.""Congratulations on your new position." "Thank you." She handed me an access card. "The executive floor. Mr Blackwood is already here." Of course he was.I was beginning to think the man slept in his office. The private elevator carried me to the top floor in complete silence.I muttered to myself. "You can do this." I cleared my throat and practised. "Good morning, Mr Blackwo

CHAPTER 4

ARIAThe moment I unlocked the apartment door, I kicked off my heels.“Freedom!” One heel flew across the room and landed perfectly on the sofa. The other… Hit the flower pot. Crash.“Oh no.” I froze. From the kitchen, my grandmother’s voice echoed through the apartment. “Aria Bennett!”I closed my eyes. “I’m already sorry.”She walked into the living room with a wooden spoon in her hand and narrowed her eyes at the broken pot.“You’ve been home for exactly five seconds.” “I know.”“And you’ve already destroyed something.” I flashed my sweetest smile. “It’s called making an entrance.” Grandma sighed dramatically.“One day you’ll be the reason I need blood pressure medicine.” I wrapped my arms around her from behind. “But you’ll still love me.” She tried to hide her smile.“I’ll think about it.” “I’ll cook for a week.” “You’ll burn my kitchen.” “True.” She finally laughed and gently patted my cheek. “Go wash your hands. Dinner’s ready.”The smell of freshly cooked chicken curry filled the

Damien“…Let’s pretend neither of us saw anything tonight.” She held out her coffee cup with a small smile. “Deal.” For a brief moment… The night felt strangely peaceful. ThenBuzz. My phone vibrated inside my coat pocket. I glanced at the screen. Marcus: URGENT. We found the leak.The warmth in my expression disappeared. Business. I slipped the phone back into my pocket. Miss Bennett tilted her head. “Bad news?”I met her curious gaze. “Something that requires my attention.” “So… you’re leaving?”“Yes.” She frowned. You really know how to ruin a conversation.” A corner of my mouth twitched. “I don’t remember us having one.” “Oh, we were.”“I was winning.” She rolled her eyes. “Good night, Miss Bennett.” Without waiting for her reply, I turned and walked toward my Aston Martin.I could feel her staring at my back. Confused. Annoyed. Some questions were better left unanswered.Twenty-five minutes later… The private elevator opened directly into my penthouse. Marcus was already waiting
