episode 2

As she entered, the entire hall rose to its feet. She was the embodiment of fearlessness—an icon of power. The most revered among them all. People feared her as much as they admired her. She was everything they aspired to be, yet none dared draw close. Whether it was business, dominance, or control—she ruled it all.
No one had ever dared to lay eyes on her with intent.She was untouchable. First, she carried the blood of the florence family—a lineage infamous across the world for its brutality and cold-blooded legacy.
Second, her very nature was fire and steel. She despised betrayal, she refused defeat. She would do whatever it took—by hook or by crook—to claim what she wanted.
At the Florence Enterprises
The entire hall fell into a cold hush the moment her heels echoed through the corridor. A collective shiver ran down every spine. They didn’t need to see her to know—Madam had arrived
The sound of her footsteps alone commanded fear and obedience.

Inside, she stood facing the glass wall, city lights sprawling behind her like a conquered kingdom. Her hands were resting on the edge of the table, her posture firm… commanding. Unbothered.The silence in the room was suffocating. Even the wind outside dared not whistle.
