PROLOGUE The world belonged to Kairo Devereux. Every song he touched became history. Every woman he touched became a headline. And every mistake he made became entertainment for millions. The media called him Britain's Beautiful Disaster. A man too talented to be human. Too beautiful to be left alone. Too broken to be loved properly. People thought they knew him. They didn't. Because behind the flashing cameras, sold-out stadiums, drugs, scandals, and endless fame... Kairo Devereux was lonely. Terrifyingly lonely. Then one rainy night in London, he walked into a luxury café expecting another meaningless evening. Instead- He saw her. A beautiful eighteen-year-old waitress with olive skin, innocent dark eyes, and softness untouched by the cruel world he lived in. Seraphina Almeida. The girl who looked at him without greed. Without obsession. Without fear. And from the moment Kairo Devereux saw her- He knew one dangerous thing for certain. He would ruin the entire world before letting the world ruin her.
