The Billionaire's Unseen Architect
By @john1208
Clara Hayes lives in the shadow of giants, a brilliant architect whose groundbreaking conceptual designs are routinely pilfered and branded by the city's top firms. Her family's historic, debt-ridden workshop, a haven of architectural dreams, teeters on the brink of foreclosure. Then, the ruthless visionary, Julian Vance, CEO of Vance Holdings—a man whose latest architectural marvel bears an uncanny resemblance to her most cherished unbuilt concept—offers her a job. Not as an architect, but as a 'creative consultant,' demanding her unique genius to secure a legacy project. The catch? Her true identity, her history with his firm's 'inspirations,' must remain a profound secret. Every shared glance, every brush of hands in the cold steel interiors of his office, sends an electric current through her. His gaze, sharp and assessing, promises both danger and a breathless, irresistible pull. If her secret spills, she loses everything: her chance to save her family, her professional integrity, and potentially, her heart to the very man who unknowingly built his empire on her stolen dreams.
