Property of His Obsession
By @john1208
Elara Vance's world crumbles when she inherits a dilapidated historic greenhouse, the last tangible piece of her botanist grandmother's legacy. With foreclosure looming, she's desperate to save the verdant sanctuary, a place brimming with memories and the scent of damp earth. But her quiet battle is violently interrupted by Julian Thorne, a tech billionaire whose ruthless ambition demands that very plot of land for his revolutionary 'Vertical City'. He sees her as a naive, sunshine-bright obstacle; she sees him as a soulless corporate shark. His icy gaze and commanding presence send a shiver down her spine, yet his relentless pursuit stirs an undeniable, dangerous pull. If she fails, Elara loses not only her grandmother's dream but the last vestiges of her belief that beauty and community can triumph over profit. Julian, in turn, risks his career-defining project to this infuriatingly tenacious woman. Their wills clash, a silent war waged over every blueprint and every blossoming vine, where a single caught breath could betray a heart on the precipice of ruin.
