Liana's heels clicked softly on the marble floor as she stepped into the mansion. Her breath caught in her throat. This wasn't just a house—it was a palace.
Fresh out of a messy family scandal and desperate for work, Liana never expected to land a job as a live-in maid for the elusive billionaire CEO, Adrian Vale. Rumors swirled about him—cold, commanding, and dangerously seductive.

He wore a crisp white shirt, dark trousers, and a lazy smirk that didn't quite reach his stormy grey eyes.
"You must be Liana," he said, voice deep and rich like velvet. "I hope you're obedient."
Liana blinked, heart skipping. "Yes, sir."
He stared at her for a beat too long, then turned. "Your room is down the hall. But don't get too comfortable. I like things... flexible."
Her skin tingled at his tone. Was that a warning—or a promise?
Liana had no idea what she'd gotten herself into.
But it was too late to back out.
