The mistake of life time
By @Khawla El alaouy
Eight years ago, Clara Vance made the mistake of a lifetime: she abandoned her penniless, sickly high school sweetheart, Arthur Pendelton, accepting a massive buyout from his elitist family to fund her mother’s life-saving surgery. She let Arthur hate her, cementing herself as his life's greatest villain. Now, Clara is a struggling freelance archivist, while Arthur has returned as the ruthless, billionaire CEO of Pendelton Industries—and he has just bought her employer. Arthur is determined to ruin her, orchestrating a cruel game of forced proximity by making her his personal assistant. To survive his wrath, Clara must hide the truth of her past sacrifice and her lingering, suffocating love for him. But as Arthur pushes her to her absolute breaking point, the burning tension between resentment and unresolved passion threatens to consume them both. In this high-stakes game of emotional warfare, Clara's secret is a ticking time bomb that could either destroy Arthur's empire or heal their shattered souls.
