A plot about a billionaire CEO who is in love with his new employee and together they go through the ups and down of the business world will their love be able to overcome the obstacle that is being thrown at them

Chapter 1 The Untouchable Billionaire

The sound of heels clicking against polished marble echoed through the grand lobby of Blackwood Enterprises. Employees hurried past with purpose, their faces a blend of focus and tension. At the top of the building, in the corner office that seemed to touch the sky, Alexander Blackwood stood behind his imposing mahogany desk, reviewing quarterly reports.

His jaw tightened as he scanned the numbers. Profits were up, but not enough. Not by his standards. He leaned back in his leather chair, running a hand through his dark hair, his sharp blue eyes never leaving the screen. Efficiency and perfection were non-negotiable in his world.

A soft knock at the door pulled him from his thoughts. Without looking up, he muttered, "Come in."

His assistant, Thomas, entered, clutching a tablet. "Sir, the marketing department finalized the proposal for the AdVance merger. They're awaiting your approval before proceeding."

Alexander gave a curt nod. "Send it to my desk. Anything else?"

Thomas hesitated, clearing his throat. "There's also the matter of the new hire in marketing-Emily Carter. HR flagged her application when it came in. Impressive background-graduated top of her class, led several successful campaigns at her previous firm."

Alexander finally looked up, his expression unreadable. "And why do I care about one marketing hire?"

Thomas shifted on his feet. "You asked to be informed of any candidate with unconventional methods. Her campaign strategy for MillenTech went viral-completely turned their brand perception around. She's young but innovative."

Alexander's lips curved into a faint, calculating smile. "Innovation without results is just recklessness. Let's see if she can handle the pressure here."

Thomas nodded and left, leaving Alexander to his thoughts. Young, ambitious talent could either be a valuable asset or a dangerous liability. He couldn't afford mistakes-not with the board breathing down his neck about the upcoming merger.

Across the city, in a modest apartment, Emily Carter stood in front of her mirror, rehearsing her introduction for the hundredth time. Her long, chestnut hair was pulled into a sleek ponytail, and her tailored blazer gave her a boost of confidence she desperately needed.

"This is it," she whispered to herself. "You've made it this far-don't blow it now."

The subway ride to the towering headquarters was a blur of nerves and excitement. She couldn't help but feel a mix of pride and terror at landing a position at Blackwood Enterprises. It was the opportunity of a lifetime-one that could make or break her career.

As she stepped into the marble lobby, she noticed the imposing presence of the building itself, as if it were designed to intimidate. A receptionist greeted her politely and directed her to the 47th floor.

When the elevator doors opened, Emily stepped into a sleek, modern workspace buzzing with energy. She spotted Rachel Parker, her new team lead, and approached with a confident smile.

"Emily Carter?" Rachel asked, sizing her up with a curious smile.

"Yes, that's me," Emily replied.

"Welcome to the marketing team. We hit the ground running here, so be ready. Mr. Blackwood is a perfectionist-don't take it personally if he's... blunt."

Emily nodded, but her mind was already racing. She had heard of Alexander Blackwood's reputation-brilliant, ruthless, and unwaveringly focused on results. Stories of his calculated business moves and cutthroat decisions were practically legendary.

Little did she know that soon she would find herself at the center of his world-challenging not only his business instincts but also the guarded walls he had built around his heart.

No, you must want something, anything. If you can really help me get revenge on David and Lana, I can't just let you do it for free". Ethan went quiet for a while. I held my breath waiting for what his request might be. If it was something money could buy, I'll try my best to get it for him even though I was somehow broke right now. "You're right I do want something". He said after thinking for few minutes "What?" I asked slowly. " Until you get your revenge on David, Lana and every other person you want, you will live here". Live here as in...?  " Wha... What are you saying? ". I stammered hoping he wasn't saying what I thought he was saying. I tried to step back but I missed a step and almost fell on the bed but Ethan caught me holding me in his muscular arms.  Ethan moved his face closer to mine be was so close, our nose almost touched. " I want you to be with me! ".
