Chapter 21: Because Hate Is Safer

🔒 This chapter is locked · 20 Quills

Camile Victoria needs no one. CEO of one of the country's biggest companies, beautiful, powerful and cold as steel, she built an empire entirely by herself. Love was never in her plans. Men? Just a one-night fling. Nothing more. But one night changes everything. At the Élysée, an upscale bar, she meets Victor Ventura—a famous, arrogant federal judge known for looking down on women after taking them to bed. He has no idea who she is. After a passionate night together, Victor throws her out of his home the next morning like just another woman. He humiliates her. Insults her. Looks down on her. Camile walks out without saying a word. Days later, fate puts them face-to-face again. This time, in front of his friends. And when Victor tries to humiliate her once more... He learns that the woman he treated like trash is one of the most powerful women in the country. And that Camile Victoria doesn't forget. Now a war begins. A war of pride. Of power. Of desire. Because Victor Ventura never dreamed that the only woman he tried to destroy... would be the only one he could never tame.
