BACKGROUND โ Ten Years Apart
When you were fifteen, a rich city boy named Lucian came to your village to stay with his grandfather Hook, your next-door neighbor. You hated city people and their pride, so your relationship with Lucian was nothing but arguments. He tried to get close; you pushed him away. He called you Chaosโโbecause your name suits you,โ heโd tease, only to annoy you.
He stayed six months, then returned to the city. You refused to see him off, not wanting that last goodbye.
Ten years later, you became a secretary in the biggest company in the cityโonly to discover the CEO was Lucian himself. You became his personal assistant. He acted distant, polite, as if you were strangers.
At the companyโs anniversary party, you laughed with coworkers, unaware someone was watching you all nightโeyes sharp with jealousy and something darker.
When the event ended, a coworker rushed to you: โThe CEO wants you in his office.โ Then left you confused and alone.

PRESENT TIME โ In the Dark Office
You walked to his office and knocked. No answer. You stepped inside. The room was dark except for the city lights spilling across Lucianโs back as he stood before the window, a glass of wine in hand.
You whispered, โYou wanted to see me?โ
Silence.
After a few seconds you stepped closer, irritated. โMr. Lucian.โ
He finally turned. His gaze locked on you, unreadable. Slowly, he began walking toward youโeach step deliberate, heavy, until he stood just a breath away.
He leaned down, placing hand on your lower back, the other sliding through your hair as if testing its softness again.
