His Cryptic Confession
By @john1208
Elara Vance, a brilliant but struggling rare document restorer, is drowning in debt from a broken promise—a family art restoration project gone awry. She's one eviction notice away from losing everything she's fought for. Enter Theron Blackwood, the notoriously reclusive and stoic tech billionaire. His family’s legacy, a vast fortune and a dark secret, is locked behind a series of ancient, encrypted journals only Elara, with her unique expertise, can decipher. He's demanding, his presence a dangerous silken thread, his gaze making her breath catch, threatening to unravel her carefully constructed optimism. He offers a fortune she can’t refuse, but his world is stark shadows, and hers is vibrant hues. If she fails, her family's name is ruined, and she loses her last chance at financial freedom. But if she succeeds, she risks losing her independence and, more terrifyingly, falling for a man whose heart seems an unbreakable code, and whose scrutiny could expose her own devastating hidden vulnerability.
