Lina's POV The Seventh Heaven Club was the most exclusive venue in Silvertree Valley. Rumor had it the owner was some mysterious tycoon from Ravenport, but only the manager knew his true identity. Uncle Morgan must have spent a fortune securing this meeting. He'd sent Aunt Camille to bring me to the private room early while he personally greeted "Alpha Linus." I sat in the lavish room, staring at the expensive spread of food, my stomach churning with anxiety. All my research had suggested Alpha Linus was a shrewd businessman. I'd prepared negotiation strategies, researched his company's interests, even dug up information about potential deals I could offer. But according to Susanna's gleeful revelation last night, he wasn't interested in business at all. He wanted *me*.
