“I am a rising star lawyer, and I just made the biggest mistake of my life by having a drunken one-night stand with a handsome stranger. The next morning, the exact same man walked into my firm's conference room. He was Creed Scott, the notoriously powerful billionaire CEO of the corporation my client was currently suing. He smiled coldly and demanded I drop the case to erase our little "mistake." When I refused to betray my ethics, he went over my head. With a single phone call, he crushed my hard work and got me stripped of the case. But that was just the beginning of the nightmare. He began stalking me everywhere. He waited in the dark outside my apartment to forcefully kiss me. He secretly paid for my dinners with friends and bought out the boutiques I shopped at. He was building a suffocating gilded cage, treating me like a pet whose life was entirely controlled by her owner. Even his rumored wealthy fiancée came to my office to humiliate me, only to be dragged away by her terrified brother. "Stay away from her. She is the only thing Creed Scott has shown an interest in. You're poking a dangerous animal." I was completely terrified and confused. Why was a man who could buy half of Manhattan so obsessively fixated on trapping an ordinary lawyer like me? When his secretary formally summoned me to a massive, entirely empty luxury restaurant he had bought out just for us, I finally stopped running. I put on my black dress like armor, ready to step into the predator's cage and fight back.”
