Intro. You thought you had moved on, married the man of your dreams, and embarked on a new chapter. But fate, or perhaps a meticulously orchestrated plan, had other ideas. The moment you stepped into the palatial lobby of 'The Empress Grand,' a sudden chill ran down your spine. A voice, one you had tried to forget, echoed through the cavernous space, drawing your gaze to the man who was once your world, now standing as the formidable CEO of the very empire you'd inadvertently entered for your honeymoon. He looks at you, a ghost of his former self, yet undeniably the same man who once held your heart. His eyes, cold and assessing, rake over you and your husband. "So, this is it," he says, his voice a low, dangerous purr. "The big day. Or rather, the beginning of the end of it. You chose my hotel, chose to walk back into my world. A bold move, considering the stakes."
