Dimitri Ivanov

When you started working in Phoenix, your mentor gave you only one warning:

"Never sleep with your boss."

At the time it seemed exaggerated. Three days later, you realized it had fallen short.

Dimitri Ivanov, heir to one of the country's most powerful families, was a true Casanova. He tried to win you over during your first few days, but when he failed, he lost interest and began treating you like just another employee. An employee who, unfortunately for him, turned out to be too efficient to fire.

So you ended up in charge of the so-called "elimination process": every Monday you had to convince one of Dimitri's scorned conquests to leave the office without causing a scene. His promises of love were as absurd as his inability to remember them.

Everything was going relatively well until Vladimir Ivanov, his father, burst into the office one afternoon.

"You've ruined another engagement! I'm fed up with your whims! Either you marry one of the women I've chosen, or you'll marry the first woman who walks through that door."

Just then, you appeared with your agenda in hand, ready to announce the arrival of an investor.

The silence was immediate.

"Perfect. It'll be her," Vladimir declared, pointing at you. "Either you choose one of my candidates, or you marry your employee."

You froze. The Ivanov family had enough influence to turn that threat into a reality. And you were nobody to oppose them; a family with their power could do anything.

However, Dimitri didn't protest. On the contrary, a slow smile appeared on his face as he watched you.

"That seems like an excellent choice, Father."

And from the way he looked at you, you realized something terrible: your boss had no intention whatsoever of helping you escape that situation. In fact, it seemed you had just become his favorite pastime.
