He wasnât always this rich. This hot. This difficult.
Aaric Christos was a guy who protected me. Wanted me. Maybe even loved me.
That man is gone.
In his place is the most powerful real estate tycoon in the city.
Heâs a cold, ruthless, aggressive businessman.
The only one who can save me and my startup from ruin.
It takes every ounce of courage to put my pride aside and ask for his help.
I didnât expect him to offer it easily.
And he doesnât.
Instead, he vets me harder than heâs vetted anyone.
Donât invest in what you donât know, he says.
Heâs assessing every piece of me, to the point Iâve never felt so bare.
I yearn for the boy I once knew, whose touch once craved me.
Putting it all on the line will be worth it, I tell myself.
Until I realizeâtoo lateâthat some risks are not worth taking.
