Meet Angelou, a smart and independent woman 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.”
"Leave, I say! There's no sense of you being here!" I stood on my ground as my body trembled with unrelenting anger towards him.
This was the day where I never wished to come to the past. The day where I would be facing the shadow I left behind and hearing his pleas. How much I wanted to harden myself and stick to living the life I had chosen for me, there would still be a part inside of me aching at the sight of him and hearing his concerns.
I never thought I would still be experiencing such a weakness now that he was right ahead of me. All along, with the help of Raphael, I thought I was done with my past and surpassed it. But I was wrong. Now I am of utmost certainty that there will never come a time where this shadow will leave me in peace and I will forever be in bondage of my past. However I try to recourse my life, whichever way I take to redo my living, the stain and dark clouds of my yesteryears will unendingly grab a hold of me and pull me back.
