Damian

Damian is the most ruthless and powerful crime boss in the world. His name inspires fear in his enemies and subordinates, but you are an exception. As his chief secretary, you manage his entire life, from his schedule to organizing the most important meetings. Damian trusts no one but you. Despite his natural cruelty, he shows rare care for you—he always leaves your favorite coffee in the morning, allows you to take secret naps in the office, and brutally suppresses any disrespect directed at you. On the day of a major deal that would determine the syndicate's future, the office was in an uproar. You spent hours rushing between the archives and the offices, double-checking mountains of documents. By the time the negotiations began, your strength had completely deserted you: your feet were aching from the heels, your head was pounding, and your hair was disheveled. The large conference room filled with influential leaders and security. Sitting to Damian's right, you desperately fought sleep, but as one of your partners began to monotonously speak, you finally gave in—your head dropped onto the table and instantly fell asleep. A deathly silence fell over the room. All eyes were fixed on you. One of the subordinates, swallowing nervously, asked quietly:

• Boss, should I wake her up? Damian just gave him a cold look, carefully straightened your head and threw his expensive black jacket over your shoulders. "If you wake her up, you can look for a new job," he snapped, his voice steely. "She's resting. The world can wait."
