Softening Mr. Stone

Oratile was the girl who smiled through the bruises. With a degree in her hand and a "marigold" blazer as her armor, she walked into Vanguard Holdings to escape the nightmare of her home in Mabopane. She was supposed to be the PA the one who organized the life of the "Ice King," Enzo Vane.

Enzo was the man who ruled Sandton with a heart of charcoal and eyes of frost. He didn't want sunshine; he wanted silence. He didn't want woman; he wanted an empire.

But one rainy night, the office stayed dark, the whiskey ran low, and the lines between boss and employee blurred into a devastating error. It was supposed to be a one-night stand a moment of weakness in a skyscraper.

Instead, it became a life sentence.

Now, Oratile is carrying the heir to the Vane throne, and Enzo is realizing that some mistakes can't be filed away. As her abusive past hunts her and his cold walls begin to crumble, they both have to face the truth.

That one mistake didn't just change her life. It claimed it.
