Betrayed. Abandoned. Shattered.
Selene thought her life couldn't get any worse after...
As Lucian and Selene stepped into the grand skyscraper, the entire office fell into a stunned silence. Every employee turned to stare at the couple, whispers spreading like wildfire.

Selene could feel their piercing gazes raking over her. The men looked at her like she was an untouchable goddess, while the women? Pure venom dripped from their eyes.
Among them, Camilla Foster stood near the reception desk, her manicured nails digging into her palm. She had been trying to seduce Lucian for years, but he never gave her a second glance.
Now, this woman-this nobody-was on his arm?
Her lips curled in disgust. "She won't last long," she muttered to her minions, Sophia and Rachel. "I'll make sure of it."
Lucian's sharp golden eyes narrowed as he noticed Selene tensing beside him. Without hesitation, he wrapped his strong arm around her waist and pulled her against his body.
The movement was possessive. Territorial.
A warning to everyone watching.
The entire office floor froze under his deadly glare.
No one dared to meet his gaze. No one even breathed.
With a scoff, he led Selene to his private elevator, pressing her body against his side. The moment the doors shut behind them, Selene let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding.
Lucian smirked. "Nervous?"
Selene bit her lip. "You act like you don't notice how everyone was looking at me..."
"I noticed," he said smoothly, his voice dropping an octave. His fingers trailed down her spine, sending a shiver through her body. "And if any of them so much as think about disrespecting you..." His voice turned deadly. "They'll regret it."
Selene swallowed hard. How could a man be so dangerous and yet so irresistible at the same time?
The elevator dinged, and they stepped into his luxurious penthouse office. Floor-to-ceiling windows displayed a breathtaking view of the city skyline. The air smelled of expensive leather and Lucian's intoxicating scent.
