At an exclusive gala, Selena moved like a queen among pawns. She had been invited under her assumed identity—no longer the meek girl they once knew.
Then, she felt it.
A gaze, sharp as a blade, cutting through the crowd.
Her eyes met his—Damien Laurent. Billionaire. King of the business world. And the hidden ruler of the underworld.
His lips curved into a knowing smirk. "You're quite bold, Miss Knight."
Selena arched a brow. "And you stare too much, Mr. Laurent."
A challenge. A warning.
But as she turned away, she felt a chill. That man was dangerous.
And yet… she was drawn to him.
