Trapped by Veridia's Most Powerful Man

The Keaton Family of Veridia, possessing a fortune of hundreds of billions, controls the economic lifeblood of the entire city.

Preston Keaton, the head of the Keaton Family, is a refined and gentle man, self-restrained and courteous, exuding an extraordinary noble air with every move—a perfect gentleman.

Evelyn Grant had once seen him from a distance at a banquet.

The man was surrounded by a crowd, his features handsome and refined, his demeanor cultured and elegant—he was like the unattainable moon in the sky.

She never imagined he would notice someone like her. She certainly never imagined being cornered by him, trapped like prey with nowhere to run.

Panicked and helpless, she said, "I have someone I like!"

The man lowered his gaze, trapping her in his embrace with a faint, soft laugh.

"I know, but..."

"So what."

——

Evelyn knew the truth from the start. A woman of her status had no future with Preston Keaton. So when she finally decided to leave, she was calm.

But she was blocked at the door by Preston.

The man forced her back step by step, his smiling expression sending a chill through Evelyn's entire body.

An intimate kiss landed on her forehead, his voice chillingly cold, "I'm sorry, babe."

His smile vanished completely, replaced by a suffocating sense of pressure and loss of control.

"You can't leave."
