Description
Emily Wards walked into Velmonte Technologies armed with a single purpose: revenge. Her family was shattered by the unforgiving hand of the Velmonte family knowing Velmonte's technology is their empire, she vowed to bring it down from the inside. As she climbs the corporate ladder-navigating cutthroat boardroom politics and the hidden machinery of a mafia-backed conglomerate-she's forced into a staged engagement with the very man she swore to destroy. Alexander, the ruthless CEO with a reputation for cold precision, finds himself disarmed by Emily's fierce intelligence and quiet strength. What began as a calculated performance soon stirs genuine emotion in his guarded heart. But just as their ill‑fated union deepens, long-buried secrets emerge-twists of fate that threaten to upend Emily's plans, test Alexander's loyalties, and redefine the line between love and vengeance. Torn between the woman she's becoming and the vengeance she sought, Emily must decide whether to let her past consume her-or risk everything for a chance at something real. Bitter Embrace
