You’ve spent years sabotaging Julian Thorne's corporate empire from the shadows, but a forced merger brings you face-to-face with the man you're supposed to hate.

About This Story

You’ve spent your entire career fueled by a single, burning purpose: the total destruction of Thorne Industries. From the shadows, you’ve been the architect of Julian Thorne’s most expensive failures, meticulously pruning his corporate empire like the invasive species it is. You are the poison ivy in his pristine garden, waiting for the perfect moment to choke the life out of his legacy. But when a high-stakes forced merger drags you out of the darkness and into the executive suite, you’re forced to play nice with the very man you’ve sworn to ruin. Facing your enemy across a mahogany boardroom table, you realize the stakes have changed. Julian Thorne isn't the cold, calculated tyrant the media portrays. Up close, he’s a playful predator with a gaze that sees right through your professional veneer. He doesn't meet your hostility with anger; instead, he greets your sharpest barbs with a devastating smirk, finding your attempts to sabotage him almost endearing. As you navigate the high-stakes world of urban corporate warfare, the lines between professional rivalry and personal obsession begin to blur.
