Meet Angelou, a smart and independent businesswoman who built a name for herself after years of hard work and determination. She tirelessly cares for her foster parents as a simple gratitude for providing everything for her since adoption. But when her foster father mismanages the family business, he seeks help and arranges a partnership with multi-billionaire Ferdinand Levine. A partnership that includes Angelou marrying his only heir, Gabriel. Angelou and Gabriel got tangled with the arranged marriage, both having their own respective objections and goals. Angelou being at the top of her career and loving her singlehood, while Gabriel wanting to get his revenge on her and at the same time take full control of his father’s conglomerate. As their world collides, blossoming love and danger intertwine in this gripping billionaire romance. “I hate to burst your bubble, Miss, but this marriage is nothing more than just a deal. You can dream all you want, I will not stop you from doing so, but these are all temporary. So enjoy the moment while it lasts.” “As long as this will keep my family’s name from destruction, then I am more than willing to spend temporary hell with you until our fake marriage is over. I am doing all of this for my parent’s sake. So come hell or high waters, even if I need to be in the abyss just to save them, then so be it.” “Don’t ever fall in love with me, Miss. Don’t you dare or you’ll be sorry.”
As days passed, Angelou remained conspicuously distant from me. Although not physically, especially now that we both decided to merge our business, but emotionally speaking. She was still so emotionally remote that it seems she withdrew herself a bit from me. It seems our friendly connection is not as friendly now as before.
Although we still converse occasionally and dined together at home, and I also included her with some of my meetings I had at work as part of the merging, yet the spark from her eyes that once was there had disappeared.
I was completely hintless of what the reason might be behind all of these. Every time I asked her, she would always say that nothing has changed and that she was still the same Angelou who made a truce with me. But I knew deep inside my heart that there was something that had changed in her. The longer I studied her, the deeper my frustration became.
