Synopsis
Empire & Hearts Born into power, Alethrisha Reinhafer was raised to rule, not to love. As the sole heir to one of Europe’s most formidable empires, she learned early that authority demands discipline, distance, and control. Emotions were weaknesses she could not afford. When a critical European expansion brings her face-to-face with William Alexander Seth, the composed founder of Seth Arclay Trade and Logistics, Alethrisha expects nothing more than competence. What she does not expect is a man who meets her standards without flattery, challenges her authority without defiance, and sees the woman behind the Reinhafer name. As empires expand and stakes rise, professional lines blur. Power tests loyalty. Ambition tests restraint. And attraction becomes a dangerous variable neither of them planned for. In a world where influence dictates fate and love is a liability, can two people who command empires afford to follow their hearts—or will ambition demand the ultimate sacrifice?

Chapter 1

Alethrisha POV

Power always lives in cold houses.

The Reinhafer mansion was proof of that; grand, elegant, and emotionally refrigerated. It had sheltered my family for generations, and every wall whispered the same message: Men lead. Women watch.

Then I was born.

My name is Alethrisha Reinhafer, sole heir to the Reinhafer fortune. I was born into a family where men were raised as pillars, and women were taught to take up as little space as possible but everything changed when I was born. Let's start from where it all began

My father Julius reinhafer was a strong willed, ambitious, ruthless person but also loving married my mom lady Claudia of the mozart family, it was an arranged marriage but they were a match made in heaven they fell in love at their first meeting, the families hit off well and had the wedding

After a few months into the marriage my mom was pregnant and after nine months she birthed me a girl, in most family they usually want to male as the first mt parents also wanted that but they still loved me and accepted me bit unfortunately my mom couldn't give birth to another child so I was destined to lead the family. As time went I grew older and stronger .
