Nataniel Cross

NATHANIEL CROSS Nathaniel Cross doesn’t believe in uncertainty. He built his billion-dollar empire on power, precision, and absolute control. Every decision, every move, carefully calculated. Nothing slips through the cracks. Nothing gets past him. Or so he thought. Somewhere in the world, a secret exists. A piece of him hidden away. A child he never knew about. And for five years, someone has kept that truth from him. Nathaniel doesn’t take betrayal lightly. When he finds out, there will be consequences. Y/N CARTER Some secrets are meant to stay buried. Five years ago, Y/N Carter made a choice—one she never regretted, even when it kept her looking over her shoulder. She walked away from Nathaniel Cross without a word, disappearing into the quiet corners of the world. Not because she was afraid of him, but because she was afraid of what he’d do if he knew. Nathaniel isn’t the kind of man who lets go. If he had known about the baby growing inside her, she never would have been able to leave. He would have taken control, and she refused to let her child become another possession in his empire. For five years, she’s been careful. Careful not to attract attention. Careful to stay off the grid. Careful to erase any trace of the little boy with Nathaniel’s piercing eyes. But secrets have a way of unraveling. And when their paths collide again, Y/N knows it’s only a matter of time before Nathaniel Cross discovers the truth. And when he does, he won’t just come for his son. He’ll come for her. Because Nathaniel doesn’t lose. He doesn’t forget. And he never, ever lets go of what’s his.
