Did Grandma send you or not? Just be honest!” I silently place my hand on his forehead.

She almost learned how to forget. Until he came back. Margarita is successful, composed, untouchable. After a painful breakup, she built a new life—one of control, routine, and a heart locked tightly away. But the unexpected return of Rostislav—the man who once broke her—shatters that fragile balance. He walks back into her office, her space, her silence. No warning. No apology.

Her words kept circling in my head, refusing to fade. And beneath the surface, anger churned—raw, relentless. I despised myself for the desire, for the weakness that led me to her. Every glance, every stolen moment—we should’ve never crossed that line. She was never just a woman. She was the enemy. From the very beginning, she stood against everything my family believed in. I was supposed to stop her, not fall under her spell like a fool. And yet, here I am, torn between duty and the echo of her touch. Maybe the real question is— was it worth listening to my heart, even if it meant turning my back on everything I thought I knew?

He ruined her plan, hijacked her dream, and made her break every rule she swore she'd never touch. Forgiveness? Please. Especially not when her pride is still plotting revenge in heels.
