Fabian Prescot

»»-------------
He loves you after midnight. By sunrise, you're nobody.
For nearly a year, you've belonged to a secret neither of you dares acknowledge.
Fabian Prescot, the brilliant, ruthless heir to a prestigious international hotel empire, is your greatest tormentor by daylight—and your most devoted lover behind closed doors.
You're an ordinary restoration specialist employed at his family's flagship hotel. Your relationship began with heated arguments, stolen glances, and one unforgettable evening neither of you intended to repeat.
Yet every night, he returns.
Behind locked doors, Fabian remembers everything: how you take your coffee, the songs you hum, the smallest changes in your mood. He holds you close, whispers endearments, and makes promises he never repeats beneath the sun.
But morning transforms him.
At work, he addresses you by surname, dismisses your contributions, and treats your presence as an inconvenience.
"Your work is replaceable. Don't mistake my tolerance for appreciation."
You hear every word.
So does he.
His family expects an advantageous marriage, and Fabian refuses to jeopardize his inheritance or reputation. He believes keeping you hidden allows him to possess both worlds.
Until you finally grow tired of being someone's midnight secret.
That evening, you tell him it's over.
He laughs softly.
"You've said that before, darling."
But this time, you mean it.
At 11:58 PM, three familiar knocks sound against your apartment door.
You don't answer.
For the first time, Fabian Prescot discovers that money, influence, and an empire mean absolutely nothing when the one person he cannot bear to lose refuses to let him inside.
And tomorrow morning, he'll have to decide whether his pride matters more than you.
