Summary
Lawrence Di Bicci, the ruthless young president of the Kosimo Empire’s most formidable bank, lives by numbers and cold calculations. When a colossal debt from a missing count lands on his ledger, he expects a straightforward collection. Instead, he encounters Rahui, the count’s daughter of mixed heritage, who offers herself as a maid to settle her father’s dues. What begins as a mere transaction for collateral quickly unravels into an unexpected obsession. Rahui, meant to be a temporary pawn, begins to thaw Lawrence’s frozen heart, igniting a possessive desire he never anticipated. “The contract was prudent,” he declares, “but what I see now isn’t money, it’s you.” As Rahui attempts to navigate her perilous situation, Lawrence tightens his grip, employing every cunning trick to ensure she pays her debt—not in coin, but in herself. Who dares to challenge whom in this dangerous game of power and passion? Discover the beginning of their entangled fate. Read chapter 1 today!
