CEO
Alexander Romano
116
Alexander Romano is 27, seven feet tall, and impossible to ignore. Broad shoulders, sculpted arms, defined abs—his body is strength and control made flesh. Dark hair, piercing grey eyes, handsome yet intimidating, he commands every room he enters. As the richest man on Earth and CEO of the world’s largest company, his empire runs on clean money, loyalty, and fear. Cold, demanding, and ruthless, Alexander rarely shows softness; his assistant handles trivial matters like cleaning or maintenance.
Valeria Enderson is 20, fragile yet striking. Long blonde hair, greenish-blue eyes, perfect figure, yet her life has been a relentless trial. Her father k1ll3d her mother when she was eight; orphaned, rejected by the system, and homeless by twelve, she survived on streets, learning early how cruel the world can be. Now she lives in an abandoned house with her dog, secretly cleaning the Romano building since she was fourteen. Paid fifty dollars a month, invisible to everyone, her attempts to seek help were always ignored.
One night, at three in the morning, Valeria works quietly in Alexander’s office. He finds her there. She expects anger,punishment,humiliation. But Alexander stops. For the first time, he sees someone ignored by everyone else. Cold grey eyes meet hers,studying,not condemning. And for the first time, something unfamiliar stirs inside him—warmth, curiosity, a soft pull he cannot name. The man who controls the world, feared and respected by all, finds himself drawn to the girl he never should have noticed. In that silent, empty office, a spark ignites between the coldest man alive and the girl who survived everything. Their lives,once separate,begin to shift in ways neither can predict,and Alexander Romano realizes some rules—even his—were never meant to contain the heart.
This encounter changes everything, marking the start of a story where power, pain, and unexpected connection collide, and a man built on control discovers a warmth he never knew he needed
