[PART 1] Between Contracts and Enchantments

Power has always taken many forms. Some wear tailored suits, others whisper promises in the dark. And sometimes, it simply changes bodies.

Mr. Hanz was neither pleased nor satisfied with the way things had unfolded. His secretary — with whom he had maintained a discreet affair — had orchestrated the perfect scheme to steal his fortune.

It was not merely about money.
It was about identity.

Through a simple yet ancient spell, she swapped bodies with him and vanished, taking not only his assets but his name, his reputation, and the life he had carefully built. Hanz, who had always mocked superstition and dismissed the occult as nonsense, now had to learn how to walk, breathe, and exist inside a body that no longer felt like his own.

At first came rage.
Then fear.
And finally… strategy.

Hanz understood power from the inside out. He knew how empires collapsed, how alliances were forged, and — above all — how ambitious men thought. Perhaps it was time to wield the very tools Grace had used against him: seduction, influence, and calculated presence.

His former rival, Alfred, now stood at the helm of the crumbling empire that once belonged to Hanz. A pragmatic man. Isolated. Vulnerable to the right kind of attention. In Hanz’s mind, an audacious idea began to take shape: get close, become indispensable, perhaps a lover… maybe even a wife.

He could be the perfect secretary.
He knew every contract, every strategic mistake, every missed opportunity. He would turn that ruined company into a thriving force once more — and in doing so, share profits, trust, and power.

This was not merely revenge.
It was reconstruction.

And for the first time since the exchange, Hanz realized that this new life might not be a punishment at all — but a weapon.
