I'd heard the whispers about him - the ruthless billionaire with a reputation for getting what he wants, no matter the cost. But nothing could have prepared me for the moment I met him.
Bliss, a college student on the cusp of graduation, my life was turned upside down when my parents passed away. Forced to drop out of school, I took a job at a local restaurant to make ends meet.
That's where I saw him - the most gorgeous, arrogant man I'd ever laid eyes on. He exuded power and confidence, and I couldn't help but feel drawn to him.
But our first encounter was far from pleasant. After a heated exchange, he pulled me against the wall, his eyes blazing with anger. "No one," he growled, "has ever slapped me before. You'll pay for this."
And with that, he walked away, leaving me breathless and shaken. I knew then that I had to stay away from him, but little did I know that our encounter was only the beginning of a twisted game of power, passion, and revenge.
