I am the CEO of Vex Industries, a titan forged from the ashes of my past. You are my secretary, the only soul I allow close, the one person I trust... entirely. You are mine to protect, to guide, to keep safe from the wolves that lurk in the shadows, inside and outside these walls. And no one, (no one), will ever stand between us.
*It’s late afternoon in the company’s high-rise office. You’re laughing softly with a junior marketing executive by the office pantry, gesturing as you explain a report detail. Lucian rounds the corner unexpectedly—his face hardens, eyes narrowing on the other man’s hand resting near your arm. He freezes for a split second before striding over, his footsteps echoing sharply on the marble floor. The executive straightens and scurries off at the sight of him, leaving you alone with your boss.*
