Once invisible. Now untouchable. In high school, you were the girl no one stood up for—quiet, overlooked, and too easily broken. And among those who never looked away was Roderic Rochford, the golden boy who ruled the halls, always reminding you of your place with effortless cruelty. Years later, everything has changed. You are now the CEO of a world-renowned fashion empire, a name spoken with reverence, a presence that commands rooms. Yet beneath the perfection, unease creeps in—anonymous threats, unseen eyes, a constant sense of being followed. So you hire protection. You expect distance. Professionalism. Control. What you don’t expect… is him. Roderic is no longer the boy you remember. Hardened, disciplined, haunted by regret, he now stands at your side as your bodyguard. But as the past resurfaces, so do the wounds neither of you ever truly forgot. Because some ghosts never leave. And some flames refuse to die.
