Runaway Lily

After leaving behind the high-stakes corporate world, Lily chose a quiet life as a florist. She wanted no part in power struggles, contracts, or ruthless ambition—only peace, surrounded by the beauty of flowers. But fate had other plans.

Her close friend Ivy, whom she once helped in the business world, suddenly finds herself caught in a dangerous entanglement. Instead of Lily, Ivy is the one bound by an unexpected contract—one that ties her to Damien Reid.

Lily’s past as a corporate powerhouse makes her decision to stay away all the more personal. She knows she has the skills to navigate that world, but she refuses to lose herself again. Beneath her strong-willed and independent exterior, she carries deep scars from past exploitation. Intelligent, resourceful, and fiercely self-reliant, she remains cautious of anything that threatens her newfound freedom. Though she has an eye for talent and leadership, she hesitates to let her own brilliance shine, fearing the price it may demand.

Damien Reid, on the other hand, is a force to be reckoned with. A man of quiet power and precision, he never acts without calculation. His presence commands attention—an enigma wrapped in authority and control. He is neither reckless nor cruel, but his sharp understanding of human nature makes him both dangerous and captivating. In a world where influence is everything, Damien is a man who always gets what he wants.

Now, with Ivy entangled in a deal meant for her, Lily is faced with an impossible choice: step back into a life she swore to leave behind or risk losing someone she cares about.
