In a world where power wears many faces, Selene Javis is about to discover that ambition and truth comes with a price and betrayal hides behind the most dangerous masks.
After the unaccounted death of her grandfather,selene decided to move on from her depressed state and pursue her grandfather's dream.Little did she know the truth never wonders too far.
Selene finally secures a coveted position at Skype under looming interests, an empire of wealth, influence, technology and secrets. She expects late nights works and unbearable demands, but wasn't expecting to be caught first by the attention of two powerful men—each masking a different kind of desire and personality.
There’s Jacob Gerard, the charismatic CEO whose charm is as intoxicating as his ruthlessness. He plays with hearts like chess pieces, but Selene’s refusal to fall for him only fuels his pursuit. And then there’s Xander, a mysterious masked figure who watches from the shadows, his presence both unsettling and magnetic. Nobody knows where he comes from—or why his loyalty to Skype runs deeper than business.
When Selene receives an anonymous gift—a delicate bracelet engraved with the haunting words “Strength needs no crown to be seen”—she’s drawn into a silent game of protection, possession, and power. Whispers surround her. Secrets tighten their grip. And the closer she gets to unraveling the truth, the deeper she’s pulled into a web of lies, betrayals, and forbidden attraction.
As rivals circle and hidden agendas unfold, Selene must decide:
Can she trust the masked stranger who lingers in the shadows of negativity?
Or will the man who stands in the light to support her be the one to own her eventually?
In a world where masks hide more than faces, Selene’s heart may be the ultimate prize—or the final casualty of unravelling the truth and disrupting the present.
