Alexander: I was born into the country’s most powerful crime family. It’s a legacy I never asked for, yet one I’m bound to inherit. I want no part of it … I like my life just the way it is. With infinite power and money at my disposal, I have women falling at my feet, but I’m not interested in a commitment. Variety is the spice of life, so why would I settle for anything less? Then I met her. One unforgettable night with a mysterious woman, and now I’m consumed. She walked away without so much as a glance over her shoulder, which only made me crave her more. She’s invaded my every thought, and I won’t rest until I find her. And when I do, I’ll make her mine. Chloe: I was born into a life of privilege, where I wanted for nothing. But now, there are days when I barely manage to put food on the table. Everything changed the day my mother walked out, and my father drowned his grief in gambling. His addiction spiralled out of control, and we eventually lost it all. To keep a roof over our heads, I had no choice but to take on multiple jobs. I no longer have time for relationships or a life outside of survival. My dad promised he’d clean up his act when things finally hit rock bottom. I thought he’d done just that until I returned home from work to find him on his knees in the living room with a gun pointed at his head. The moment my gaze landed on the tall, dark, and handsome Adonis holding him captive, my heart skipped a beat. It was him—the man I had met in the hotel bar. That’s when a deal was put on the table: my father’s life spared in exchange for me. I was left bewildered when I became the collateral for his debt. And even more so when he agreed to it. I’d been handed over to the devil himself, and there was nothing I could do to stop it.
