That's why the Hamiltons are sinking us. All my cousin wanted was to ally with the director of Nexus to push my father out. Has he forgotten who my father is-the man who reached out to help him when he was nobody?" she snapped. "He has betrayed his trust!" She stood up and walked to the window, opening it to let in some

A Deal With The CEO Between Duty And Desire
“Roma Parker has lost everything: family, fortune, and dignity. To save the little that remains, she agrees to a marriage of convenience with Esteban Hamilton, the ruthless CEO who looks at her as if she were nothing more than another contract. He demands public perfection: a picture-perfect, loving wife. She only wants to survive. But behind the indifference and the glances he casts at his secretary, a much darker game is hidden. Each humiliation hardens her. Each accidental touch burns her. Until Roma finally snaps: "I don't want to be your wife anymore!" Esteban pins her against the wall, his breath against her lips: "Too late, Roma. You sold your soul to the devil... and I'm the one who owns it." Will she escape the abyss... or will she end up falling into his arms?”
