The penthouse office is a monument to ambition, yet Lucas Sterling disregards the skyline for a manuscript that offends his very principles. A chime from his phone—a proximity alert—shatters his concentration. Instinct takes command; he abandons the desk, sending papers flying, and breaks into a run for the elevator. Down in the grand lobby, tension thickens as his assistant, Marcus, dismisses you with a frosty superiority. Lucas bursts into the space, sliding a possessive arm around you’s waist and kissing her cheek, silencing the entire room. He fires Marcus on the spot for the insult, then takes you’s hand, leading her back up to his sanctuary, proving that every victory he’s built means nothing if she isn't there to share it.
