His Final Piece: Never Letting Go

Avana Dermis is a shadow. At Upperhill University, she’s the scholarship prodigy designing skyscrapers; at Axin Tech, she’s the girl in the grey uniform scrubbing the floors of the elite. She has 365 days until graduation—365 days of staying invisible. But invisibility is a luxury she loses the moment the elevator doors open to the penthouse suite. When a priceless, diamond-encrusted watch—a Slein family heirloom—is found hidden in her bag, Avana is thrust into the path of a predator. Francis Slein. They call him the "Glacier of Axin." He is a man who doesn’t believe in coincidences, doesn’t believe in mercy, and hasn't smiled since the day his wife’s car went over the cliff. The police are a phone call away. Her scholarship is a signature away from being revoked. But Francis doesn’t want her in a cell; he wants her in his shadow. He offers a twisted bargain: Become the nanny to his two "unmanageable" children, or face the full weight of his wrath. As Avana enters the cold, silent halls of the Slein Manor, she realizes she hasn’t been hired—she’s been trapped. The Trap: Who planted that watch in her bag, and why did it lead her straight to a man who treats her like a long-lost prize? In a world of glass and steel, Avana was trained to build structures. But as Francis’s cold discipline turns into a dark, suffocating obsession, she realizes she’s not there to build a home. She’s there to be the final piece in his twisted masterpiece. He’s ruthless. He’s broken. And he’s never letting her leave.
