My CEO husband, Clayton Lockwood, was convinced I was a gold digger. Every time he went to comfort his first love during her depressive episodes, he would buy me a limited-edition bag. After half a year of marriage, my walk-in closet was filled with them. After giving ninety-nine bags, he noticed I had changed. I no longer cried my heart out or argued until I was hoarse when he visited his first love. I also did not brave the storm and cross the city anymore just because he said he wanted to see me. I only asked him for a rosary for our unborn child. When I mentioned our child, Clayton’s gaze softened. “Once Ruby’s condition improves, we’ll go to the hospital for a checkup first, then get a rosary.” I obediently agreed. Little did he know that I had a miscarriage ten days earlier. I had also prepared a divorce agreement that was ready for his signature.

Ashlaine Selenne Soriano never expected that a single night with a stranger would unravel the calm, orderly life she built for herself.

By day, Zayne or let's say Zarck appears to be nothing more than Kaia’s nerdy, clumsy officemate—sweet, harmless, and a little too good to be true. But when with Ashlaine, his mask slips, revealing a darker, more possessive side that Ashlaine can’t seem to resist. What started as a one-time encounter quickly spirals into stolen nights, hidden glances, and a dangerous attraction that leaves Ashlaine breathless—and sometimes barely able to walk away.

Now, between love, lust, and looming danger, Ashlaine must decide: will she run from the chaos Zayne brings, or surrender to the fire that consumes them both?
