Priceless Opposition
By @john1208
Elara Vance, a tenacious single mother, pours her heart and soul into the struggling community arts center—her haven, her livelihood, and her son’s precious refuge. When Silas Thorne, a titan of urban development, arrives, his imposing shadow threatens to engulf it all. His gaze, sharp as obsidian, meets her defiant fire, marking their first encounter as a clash of worlds. She sees a soulless corporate villain, he sees an inconvenient, fiercely protective obstacle. Yet, an undeniable, dangerous magnetism pulls her in. Every word he utters, every brush of his tailored suit, sends a forbidden tremor through her, making her breath catch, an unwelcome silk against her skin. If the center falls, not only does she lose her home, but her son, battling a silent, urgent illness, will be stripped of the specialized care and stability she’s sacrificed everything to secure. Can she resist the man threatening her entire world, or will his irresistible, dangerous pull become her ultimate undoing, costing her everything?
