Lollipop (Our Fate)
Ana Coal is just 20 years old, but she’s already learned that dreams don’t pay the bills. By night, she performs under the stage name Lollipop at an exclusive, members-only nightclub — a world of flashing lights, whispered secrets, and people pretending not to watch too closely. Beneath the sparkle, Ana hides a life marked by sacrifice and survival, clinging to a future she isn’t sure she can afford to believe in.
Across the city, Thomas Macray seems to have it all: a 25-year-old Harvard Law graduate, corporate attorney, and now the CEO of one of his father’s powerful companies — the latest prodigy in the Macray dynasty, a family whose empire stretches across international banking, real estate, energy, and politics.
But the carefully crafted image hides something darker. Beneath the polished suits and boardroom victories, Thomas has a reckless streak he keeps just barely in check — a taste for danger, defiance, and a growing hatred for the golden cage he's been forced to live in.
His life has already been mapped out — including a strategic engagement to the daughter of a powerful business partner, a union designed to cement a multi-billion-dollar merger. Thomas, however, is about five seconds away from faking his death just to escape the life they planned for him.
One night, after the exhaustion of a brutal negotiation and relentless pressure from his mother, Thomas ditches his security detail and slips into a private nightclub with friends, desperate for a few hours of anonymity. That’s when he sees her — Lollipop — dancing under the neon lights, beautiful, magnetic, and utterly intoxicating.
One look changes everything.
Torn between duty and desire, legacy and longing, Thomas tries to forget her. Months pass, and the world pulls him back into its suffocating grip — until fate intervenes, bringing him once again face-to-face with Ana Coal.
This time, walking away might not be an option.
And if their worlds collide, the fallout could destroy them both.
