"I'll break down your walls one by one and sneak into the gates of your icy heart before crushing it into tiny pieces." He murmurs mercilessly as his lips lightly brush my ear, the contact eliciting an indescribable sensation through every inch of my body. The proximity is maddening and despite my unwillingness to submit, he knows he's got the upper hand as a sardonic chuckle escapes him. He tightens his grip around my waist from behind, reducing my options of escaping his entrapment. His fingers gently tuck my loose strands behind my ear before he foreshadows, "I'll make you regret ever leaving me, and once you come crawling back to me, it'll be too late." ༄ ༄ ༄ Anaya's reputation precedes her - everyone knows her as the Ice Queen, given her ruthless nature with a heart made of stone. As the owner of a company worth billions, she's always valued one thing she must live by until the end of time-her power. Hence, she didn't hesitate to split up with the heartthrob of Quivelon College, Ludovic Delmore. According to her, their union became a hindrance to her goal of becoming one of the richest women in the world. But what happens when Ludovic unexpectedly shows up in her life six years later, as a self-proclaimed billionaire, with the sole purpose of achieving what many have failed to accomplish-revive her humanity? On one hand, Ludovic wishes to delve into her cold world by any means necessary, whereas Anaya seeks to avenge her sister's mysterious death. Can they ever see eye to eye, or will they forever be entangled in a game of cat and mouse?
