His assistant, His obsession

The city was louder than Sienna Brooks imagined. Honking cars, blinding lights, and towering buildings—all a far cry from her quiet hometown where her mother sold pirozhki on a wooden stall by the roadside.

Clutching her worn out leather bag, Sienna stepped off the bus, nerves fluttering in her stomach like butterflies on caffeine. Her mother had scraped together the money for this trip, insisting Sienna chase the opportunity—an assistant role at the prestigious Blackwood Group.

She looked up at the glass skyscraper that pierced the sky like a knife. This is it.

Inside, the marble floors gleamed and the receptionist barely looked up. “Name?” she asked.

“Sienna Brooks,” she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

After a brief wait, she was ushered into a sleek conference room. The interview was nerve-wracking, but Sienna had always been sharp and eloquent. She leaned into her charm, wit, and genuine determination. Thirty minutes later, she walked out with trembling fingers and a hopeful heart.

The call came two days later.

“You got the job,” said the HR voice on the other end. “You start Monday.”

Sienna dropped the phone and screamed into a pillow. Her mother cried and hugged her for five full minutes. That night, they celebrated with homemade pirozhki and sweet tea.

Her first day at Blackwood Group felt like stepping into another world.

Everyone wore polished suits and spoke in clipped, efficient tones. Sienna kept her head down, trying to remember the directions to the executive floor when—

Thud.

She bumped into someone—solid, tall, and very, very expensive-smelling.

Her files went flying.

“Watch where you’re going,” the man said, voice cold as steel.

“I’m so sor—” Her words died as she looked up.

Jet-black hair, chiseled jawline, grey eyes sharp enough to cut glass. He looked like he belonged on a magazine cover, not walking corporate hallways.

Dante Blackwood.

CEO. Billionaire. Legend.

He looked at her for a split second longer than necessary, eyes narrowing.

“You’re the new assistant?”

She swallowed. “Yes, sir.”

He didn’t respond. Just turned and walked off, leaving the scent of expensive cologne and intimidation in his wake.

And just like that, Sienna’s world had changed forever.
