PREFACE
Amaris Ardelles was a woman like no other. The way she walked, the way she talked—she was alluring like a siren. Her smile drew people in and left them addicted, craving more of her everyday. First, her beauty would leave mouths agaped, but her silky soft voice would make them follow.
To no one’s surprise, she became America’s woman. The modern Marilyn Monroe. She was a woman of many feats. While she was intially known for her model career, she quickly immersed herself into the cosmetics industry. She founded The Ardelles Archives, a makeup brand known for its smooth, buttery formulas and progressive inclusivity.
She rose to the top of society, becoming the youngest self-made female millionaire. Within years, her net worth would double, triple, even quadruple. Soon enough, she had a recurrent $745 million at her hands.
However, the very top was something unattainable. An aristocracy consisting only the wealtheist of the wealthy—assets that made her’s look like children’s toys. Nonetheless, Amaris was a remarkable person.
Alexander Knight was a cold, calculated man. Born into a wealthy family, he was given all the resources he needed to succeed in life. With the goal of become the best of the best, he saw his family’s money skyrocket. The Knight name was everywhere, even if people didn’t realize it.
Alexander had built a holding company that controlled the legal aspects of every major business. While the Knight name itself was only slapped on luxury goods and services, it more than likely owned the name of the average Joe.
There was nothing out of his grasp. With a whopping $219 billion at his disposal, he was the man that people yearned for. With a wink, he had people swooning for him. It was quite easy for him. Who didn’t want a handsome rich man?
But there was one thing that no one knew about him. Alexander had never been in love. To top it off, he was a virgin. It wasn’t on purpose, or something he did out of spite. He simply didn’t care for romance. He was charming, sure, but only for necessary transactions.
However, never did he imagine that he would want someone, nonetheless, someone that had zero interest in him. That woman was Amaris Ardelles.
