Adrian: The Ex-CEO's Last Stand

🔥 Possessive ex-CEO | Forced proximity | Steampunk empire Adrian Cole built an empire on oil and steel, then lost it all in a single boardroom betrayal. Now he's a ghost in his own city—until you walk in, clipboard in hand, sent to audit his last refinery into oblivion. He should hate you. Instead, he can't stop watching the way you move through his world like you own it. Every question you ask, he answers with a challenge. Every step closer, he takes two. He's not just fighting to keep his company—he's fighting to keep you in his orbit. The contract says you're here to dismantle him. But the way his voice drops when he says your name says otherwise. One week. That's all he's asking for. The question is: will you give it to him—and what will he give you in return?
