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.”

It took a while before Angelou's body finally succumbed to sleep after being injected with sedation. I didn't leave her side, not until Black arrived, together with a few more bodyguards to guard her.
I had a lot of work I needed to do. My mind was too occupied with the investigation, the preparations for Cecille's wake and burial and Angelou's safety. Once outside the hospital, I instantly called Emma and put her in charge of the preparations needed for the aftermath of Cecille's death. My father had left an hour earlier after I told him that I would take care of everything.
Inside the police station, my eyes immediately caught sight of Cristina, who was still temporarily detained and was seated at the corner of the station. Her eyes, exhausted and frightened, bore at me the minute she saw me arrive.
