The Billionaire's Invitation

Liza thinks she can just fly under the radar at the masquerade. She realizes pretty fast that hiding behind a mask makes her more visible to Julian.

“I don't just want your body, Liza. I want the truth.”

Money buys Julian a lot of control. It still can't force the one person he wants to actually trust him.

The way they talk about their past shows how much they both hurt. They use silence like a weapon until they can't stand the distance anymore.

“I’ve spent my whole life being the one who fixes things.”

Liza acts like her independence is a shield. It feels more like a cage when she refuses to let anyone help her.
