Residing in their luxurious mansion with her parents and older sister, Engfa's talent and charisma have catapulted her to global superstardom, earning her the title of "World's Idol.' Yet, despite her immense fame, Engfa's true idol remains her father, a renowned singer who inspired her passion for music. She reveres him, admiring his talent, wisdom, and unwavering support. Her father is the sunshine that brightens her day, the guiding star that navigates her journey, and the safe haven where she finds peace. Meet Charlotte, a 20-year-old girl who had always imagined herself and her future with her idol, Engfa Waraha. Charlotte had been a die-hard fan since 14-year-old but had never had the chance to meet with Engfa Waraha. She lives with her mother and grandma in England. Engfa Waraha's life is turned upside down when she meets Charlotte, a mysterious and charming fan. As Charlotte becomes more closer to Engfa, as the relationship begins to deepen, Charlotte discovers a shocking family secret. Her obsession with actress Engfa Waraha takes a dramatic turn. Secrets and lies threaten to destroy their love. Will their love prevail, or will the truth tear them apart?"

Two women from different worlds. One bound by fire. The other, by ice. Engfa Waraha was ruthless, cold, and unafraid to break hearts. At thirty, she had everything-money, power, women at her feet. A woman who loved nothing more than the chase, and who never stayed in one place for too long. Never letting anyone get too close. Not even her own family. Her love life was a string of broken, short-lived romances. One month-no longer. Charlotte Austin was a quiet, innocent twenty-year-old-fresh from college and ready to begin her life. She had a boyfriend she loved and dreams she was determined to make her own. But those dreams weren't hers to control. Not anymore. Not when her father, driven by business, decided to trade her away like a pawn for a massive merger. They didn't get a choice. Their lives were exchanged in the name of power. Engfa wanted to burn the contract. Charlotte wanted to run. But destiny had other plans. And soon, the two would collide. When fire meets ice... who will break first?

Engfa Waraha rules the underworld with an iron fist-ruthless, untouchable, feared by all. In her world, love is a weakness, and weakness gets you killed. She has built her empire on blood, vengeance, and power. Nothing shakes her. Nothing reaches her heart. Because she no longer has one. Then why is she letting me get close? I'm Charlotte Austin-a journalist who should have walked away. I was only supposed to write about her, expose the truth, and move on. But the more I learn, the more I want. I should be afraid. I should stop before it's too late. But how do you stop when the danger itself becomes an addiction? Engfa Waraha doesn't believe in love. I don't believe in limits. She is the Queen of the Underworld. And I am walking straight into her darkness.

When hate turns into something more. Would they be able to deny it?

Charlotte Austin's life was built on a foundation of success: a thriving career, a devoted girlfriend, and a grandmother who was her only remaining family - until she wasn't. When her grandmother's health fades, a forgotten promise resurfaces - one made long before Charlotte could grasp the weight of true commitment. A vow that binds her to the last person Charlotte would ever trust - and the very person she's spent her life avoiding. Engfa Waraha. The self-centered player from Charlotte's past. The tormentor who turned Charlotte's life into a battleground. The feeling was mutual. Charlotte saw Engfa as a superficial ideal - the last person who could ever understand the meaning of loyalty - and Engfa saw Charlotte as nothing more than the fake girl, the embodiment of everything she despised. But fate, it seems, has a way of turning everything upside down. In a single, fateful moment, everything they thought they knew about themselves and their futures shatters. Now bound by a promise neither of them fully understands, they're caught in an unavoidable web of secrets, betrayal, and a connection they can't escape. It all begins with a bitter vow - and neither of them could have anticipated where it would lead. ***** 🚫⚠️This story contains strong language, explicit sexual content, slow-burn romance, and heavy angst.
