Irene Kang lives in the shadow of power she never asked for. A minister's daughter wrapped in elegance and restraint, she has learned to survive through control, silence, and sharp intuition. Love has always felt like something meant for other people until a single night changes everything. Their meeting is accidental. Their connection is not. What begins as surveillance turns into obsession. What should have ended in blood becomes something dangerously intimate. As secrets surface and loyalties fracture, Xavier is forced to choose between the empire he was born to inherit and the woman who makes him feel human for the first time in his life. Irene, caught between truth and betrayal, must decide whether love is worth the cost of everything she thought she knew.
