Alexandra Thompson is a struggling event planner.

On the night of her second anniversary, her world shatters when her boyfriend, Chad, cruelly confesses that their entire relationship had been nothing more than a bet. Heartbroken and enraged, Alexandra impulsively grabs the keys to his brand-new Lamborghini—the reward for his betrayal—intending to destroy the car as payback for his betrayal. But her revenge takes an unexpected turn when she accidentally hits a stranger with the vehicle.

The man she injures wakes up with no memory of who he is. Wracked with guilt, Alexandra decides to take him in and care for him until his memories return. As the days pass, she finds herself falling for the mysterious and kind-hearted man, unaware that he’s the most powerful CEO in the country. But just as their bond deepens, Alexandra is pulled into the chaotic world of high society, entangled in secrets, scandals, and the sudden appearance of Julian’s glamorous—and very determined—supposed fiancée, Sierra Leone.

Julian Saintclaire is infamous for his cold demeanor and arrogant charm. When pressured by his parents to settle down, he reluctantly agrees to meet the woman they’ve chosen for him. But when she arrives late, Julian—impatient and unforgiving—calls off the engagement and storms out. Fate, however, has other plans. On his way home, a sudden accident robs him of his memories, leaving him a stranger to his own life.

Now recovering under the same roof as the woman who hit him, Julian finds himself torn between frustration and an undeniable attraction to his unexpected housemate. As he grapples with his lost identity, sparks begin to fly in the most unlikely of places. But when his memories finally return, Julian won’t rest until he claims the one woman who turned his world upside down—no matter what it takes.

Julian, followed by several bodyguards, pulled up to the mansion. 


He exited the car, the gravel crunching beneath his shoes, and stood in front for a minute. Warren and everyone else stayed still and didn't dare to disturb him, giving him space to think. Nobody wanted to be a victim of his wrath when he was angry.


Julian's gaze flicked to the grand water fountain in the center of the circular driveway. Its gentle trickle was the only sound in the whole mansion.


He tilted his head toward the sky, studying the stars scattered across the night. Dragging his gaze back to the gloomy mansion, a flicker of annoyance travelled through his eyes.


The mansion doors opened with a quiet groan as he stepped inside. In the lavish living room, two middle-aged people sat across from each other in stiff silence.
