Malachi Barton¹

Malachi Barton was known as the most powerful man in the world. Owner of the largest company on the planet and leader of a dangerous mafia organization, everyone feared him. At work, his demeanor was cold, calculating, and almost impossible to shake.

Sophy remained his secretary, even after the divorce. The marriage had ended because, over time, the two realized that love alone wasn't enough to sustain the relationship. Still, they worked side by side every day, hiding any lingering feelings.

The arrival of the new employee, Emilly, caught everyone's attention. Beautiful and ambitious, she made no effort to hide that she was completely infatuated with Malachi. She always found a reason to get close to him, drawing discreet glances from Sophy.

Sophy tried to act professionally, but every time she saw Emilly smiling at Malachi, a small pang of jealousy tightened in her chest. She would simply take a deep breath, return to her work, and remind herself that this man was no longer her husband.

Malachi, however, noticed every one of Sophy's reactions... and, for the first time since the divorce, he began to wonder if ending the marriage had truly been the right decision.
