“Reign Abbot is a reporter who is trying to navigate through life while in a toxic work environment with Bethany who seemed hellbent on making life miserable for her. Driven by ambition and the overwhelming urge to surpass Bethany, she covers a story on the billionaire, CEO, Ivan Hamilton without further verification which was later proven to be false. All hell breaks loose as Ivan is hellbent on having her pay the price for her actions. ****************************** " Why? " he smirked. " Do you feel wrong? You think it's unfair? " I felt tears fill my eyes at his words. I hated how easy it was for me to cry. If I was sad, I would cry. Angry? Cry. Happy? Cry. Overwhelmed? Cry. And I had never hated it as much as I did in that moment, especially when my oppressor looked delighted at the sight of my tears. I hate this man. " What do you want me to do? " I asked, admitting defeat. There was no need to hold on to hope that was not there. Ivan was not a nice man and it was my mistake for thinking otherwise. " Good, that's what I want to hear. " he said, standing up and burying his hands in his pocket.”
