For five years, I was Sophia Dean: Charles Peyton's perfect chief secretary by day and his obedient canary by night. He paid me millions, gave me luxury, and set three rules: no feelings, no questions, no future. Then he announced his engagement to Melissa Shaw and called women like me replaceable toys. So I packed my $29 million, left a resignation letter, and flew to Zurich without looking back. Charles thought I was too tame to leave. He thought I would come running the moment he begged. But the canary he kept in a gilded cage had been collecting evidence for years, and when he chased me into the Alps, he finally learned the truth: I did not run because I was heartbroken. I ran because I was ready to destroy him.
