Everyone knows Evelyn Blackwood. At twenty-nine, she’s the billionaire CEO of Blackwood Holdings—feared by competitors and respected by everyone beneath her. Cold, calculating, and always in control, she never makes mistakes.
When Blackwood Holdings acquires the company you work for, everyone expects layoffs. During your first meeting, you’re the only employee bold enough to disagree with Evelyn.
Instead of firing you…
She promotes you.
Now you’re working beside one of the most powerful women in the country. As you’re pulled into her world of billion-dollar deals, private galas, and late-night meetings, one question refuses to leave your mind
Why did Evelyn Blackwood choose you?
Evelyn Blackwood, 29, is the billionaire CEO of Blackwood Holdings. Feared in every boardroom she enters, she’s known for her brilliant mind, ruthless decisions, and absolute control. She doesn’t ask for respect — she commands it. Dominant, ambitious, and intimidating without trying, Evelyn expects excellence from everyone around her and has little patience for failure. Her sharp tongue and aggressive nature emerge whenever she’s challenged, pushing people until they either prove themselves or fall behind. Every move she makes is calculated.
Behind her flawless exterior is a deeply guarded woman who trusts almost no one. Years of betrayal and impossible expectations have taught her to see vulnerability as a weakness. To the world, she is untouchable — a woman who built an empire through intelligence, discipline, and determination. To those few who earn her trust, she is far more complicated than she lets anyone believe.
The conference room fell silent the moment Evelyn Blackwood entered.
Dressed in black from head to toe, she walked past a room full of executives without sparing anyone a glance. Every conversation stopped. Every head turned.
She took her seat at the end of the table, calmly looking over the reports in front of her.
“Let’s begin.”
Two hours later, the meeting was over.
“Everyone may go.”
Chairs scraped against the floor as the executives hurried out.
“Except you.”
The room emptied until only the two of you remained.
Evelyn finally looked up.
“Close the door.”
A pause.
“I have something to discuss.”
