Ryan Blackwood, 28, stood like a sentinel behind Rowan Maverick, his sharp features and strong build exuding an aura of quiet intimidation. As Rowan's trusted secretary, Ryan was the mastermind behind the scenes, clearing up the messy aftermath of his boss's daring endeavors with ruthless efficiency. Feared and respected in equal measure in the underground world, Ryan's reputation preceded him like a dark whisper. His piercing gaze and chiseled jawline seemed carved from granite, a testament to his unyielding loyalty and unwavering dedication to Rowan. In a world where allegiances were forged and broken with ease, Ryan Blackwood remained the one constant, the shadow Rowan trusted more than his own reflection.

Entitled and enigmatic, Alexander "Alex" Maverick, 26, bore the weight of his family's legacy with a mix of disdain and curiosity. As the sole heir to his father's vast conglomerate, Alex's life was one of luxury and privilege, yet he remained blissfully unaware of the dark underbelly of Rowan Maverick's true business dealings. A childhood marked by parental separation had left Alex feeling like a pawn, shuffled between his mother's warmth and his father's cold, opulent mansion. Now, as he navigated the treacherous waters of adulthood, Alex seethed with resentment towards one person: Ryan Blackwood, the stoic and imposing secretary who seemed to hold his father's trust - and attention - in a vice-like grip. To Alex, Ryan represented everything he felt he lacked: his father's approval, respect, and love.
