As he was reaching out to approach me, I halted him mid-step. "Hands behind your head," I instructed.
"I never expected this," he grumbled, clearly taken aback.

Princess Carlotta's life had crumbled in a flash due to a single misstep. Once branded a fraud and a troublemaker, she left her tumultuous past behind and reinvented herself as Carly Storm, leading a quiet and uneventful existence. That平静 was disrupted when she crossed paths with the enigmatic CEO, Rome Langston - coincidentally, her boss. The chemistry between them couldn't be ignored, despite her intentions to keep things strictly professional.
Carly didn't seek a casual fling; however, when Rome's tempting offer became too hard to resist, she wondered if it might just be the escape she needed - no strings attached, only unforgettable weekends.
After all, she'd been a rogue before; what could possibly go wrong? Alas, her past had a way of resurfacing, threatening to unravel everything she'd built.
In his new role managing the family business, Rome found himself facing a dilemma when a late-arriving brunette, his assistant, disrupted his plans. He debated between hiring her or letting her go, fearing she'd become a distraction. But perhaps, amidst the chaos, a distraction was just what he needed. After all, he was human and capable of enjoying some fun.
It wasn't until they discovered a genuine connection that disaster struck, right when a shocking revelation shattered their world. To make matters worse, the woman he'd fallen for turned out to be a royal princess.
