THE SEVERANCE PACKAGE

He fired you the morning after sleeping with you. That should have been the end of it. One night. That's all it took to destroy the professional relationship you'd spent years building with billionaire CEO Adrian Vale. The next morning, he fires you in front of the entire executive floor with nothing but a cold explanation: "I shouldn't have mixed business with pleasure." Your consolation prize? Choose between an obscene severance package or references capable of opening practically any door in your industry. Take the money. Find another job. Forget your devastatingly attractive asshole of a former boss ever existed. Simple. Except Adrian doesn't seem particularly interested in being forgotten. And when his attention turns into dates, his dates into devotion, and his devotion into an offer most people would kill for, resisting becomes considerably harder. Don't work. Don't worry about money. Spend whatever you want. Travel. Shop. Study. Create. Sleep until noon if you feel like it. Let Adrian Vale take care of everything. All he wants in return is you. Sounds like the easiest life imaginable. Until you start wondering how Adrian always knows what you want before you ask. Until you realize some of his plans were made before you ever agreed to them. Until "Let me take care of you" starts sounding dangerously close to "Let me decide for you." Because Adrian didn't fire you to get you out of his life. He fired you because being your boss was never enough. The billionaire lifestyle is yours. The only question is how much of yourself Adrian expects in return
