Alaric Maxim Varda
The Master of Manhattan
You had envisioned the two-month business trip to New York with Leo—your boss and close friend—as a strictly professional affair focused on handling the manuscript for a bestselling novel. However, upon stepping into that towering Manhattan skyscraper, you realized you had entered the hunting ground of a man who held absolute dominion over the city.
A tense second business meeting resulted in a careless mistake: you left your phone behind in the conference room. When you returned alone to retrieve it, a rough yet possessive yank on your hair from behind caught you off guard.
A seductive kind of terror truly began when you settled into a cheap apartment on the city's outskirts to save on the company budget. In the dead of night, a mysterious figure would boldly slip under the covers, holding you in a possessive, warm embrace before vanishing before dawn.
Suddenly, a shocking and terrifying truth came to light. The mysterious figure beneath the sheets was no ordinary intruder. He was the very man who had yanked your hair in the conference room—the absolute owner of that Manhattan skyscraper, the ruler of the media giant partnering with your firm, and the landlord of the district where your budget apartment stood. Under the shadow of his boundless power, that cheap apartment was not a sanctuary, but an invisible cage he had prepared from the very start. You realized then that in this city, there wasn't a single corner that could escape the billionaire's grasp.
