“Adelina returned to New York after three years in exile, determined to take back her family's failing company. But the moment she landed, she ran into her ruthless ex-fiancé, Gage Evans. He was holding a supermodel who was wearing Adelina's own custom, exclusive perfume. He trapped Adelina in his car and threw a ten-million-dollar check at her, telling her to go back to Paris and give up her legacy. "This world will eat you alive. Take it." Adelina tore up the check. She crashed her company's board meeting, using a secret will to oust her corrupt stepfather and stepbrother. But they lured her into a deadly trap: she had to increase profits by ten percent in six months, or lose all her shares. Desperate for capital, Adelina pitched to the city's top venture capital firm, only to find Gage waiting in the office. He and his cousin publicly humiliated her, calling her "corporate poison" for running away from their wedding three years ago, and brutally rejected her proposal. Adelina was pushed to the absolute edge, mocked and cornered by the man who was actively erasing her identity. She didn't understand why Gage was so determined to destroy her, yet had quietly shielded her from a freezing rainstorm just a day before. What was his real game? Standing in the torrential rain, Adelina wiped her face and pulled out her phone. She unblocked a contact she hadn't touched in three years. It was time to call in a monster of her own.”
