I built my walls high enough no one could climb. Strong enough no one could break through. I was independent, untouchable - needing no one, wanting nothing. And then she came. June. A bratty, reckless, sunshine-smiling storm wrapped in glitter and chaos. She didn't knock. She didn't ask. She barged right in, laughing, teasing - taking pieces of me I didn't even know I was willing to give. Before I realized it, I wasn't standing alone anymore. I was already hers. Heart, soul, and every broken wall.

In the world of high stakes and hidden secrets, Charlotte's life seems perfectly controlled by her demanding father, who has meticulously planned every step of her future. Living in a luxurious mansion, she yearns for a life beyond the confines of her father's strict expectations. Her only respite comes from the moments of defiance and the dreams of freedom she harbors deep within. Everything changes when Engfa enters her life. Hired as a servant, Engfa brings with her an air of mystery and rebellion that both infuriates and intrigues Charlotte. Their tumultuous relationship begins with clashes and misunderstandings, but as they are thrown together by a series of unexpected events, a complicated bond starts to form. As the days go by, Charlotte finds herself drawn into Engfa's world of adrenaline and defiance, discovering emotions and desires she never knew existed. But Engfa has her own secrets and an agenda that could shatter Charlotte's reality. Unbeknownst to Charlotte, her family's dark past and Engfa's quest for truth are intertwined in ways that neither could have imagined. Their growing connection faces numerous obstacles, from Charlotte's controlling father who insists she follow his path, to the societal expectations that threaten to tear them apart. As the two women navigate the treacherous waters of love and loyalty, they must confront the lies and betrayals that surround them.

In a world divided by borders, legacy, and bloodshed, Engfa Waraha is Amanda Province's fiercest soldier-brave, loyal, and heartbreakingly alone. Manipulated by her secret lover and commanding officer, Alisha Winget, Engfa is sent to infiltrate the rival Austin Province under the guise of diplomacy. Her mission: seduce their newly crowned president, Charlotte Austin, uncover state secrets, and shatter her from within. But Charlotte is not what Engfa expected. Regal, seductive, and dangerously composed, she sees through lies with a single glance. In Charlotte's presence, Engfa feels something she's never known before-seen, desired... and free. As the line between duty and desire begins to blur, Engfa must decide who she truly is: a loyal weapon shaped by the hands of cruelty, or a woman ready to risk everything for love-even if it means betraying her homeland, her mission, and the only love she thought she ever knew. In the ashes of war and under the shadows of betrayal, two women from enemy worlds ignite a fire that could either unite the provinces... or burn them both alive.

"GOD DAMN IT ENGFA!!!" Charlotte screamed as she threw the test at her. No she couldn't believe it. This was impossible, how could she be pregnant with Engfa's baby? "Look Char, just calm down a bit okay it's bad for the baby." Engfa tried to reason, but that only made Charlotte even more angrier. And before Engfa knew it, she was knocked off the bed and onto the floor as Charlotte stormed out in anger. "I'm going to kill you Engfa Waraha." And Charlotte meant every word she had just said, if it was up to her she would have strangled Engfa herself...

In the twisted dance of our hearts, love became a battleground, a fierce storm of passion and pain, where our souls collided, igniting a fire that consumed us both, leaving scars that only our love could heal; I never knew love could be so consuming, so all-encompassing, like drowning in a sea of emotions, unable to surface, yet unable to resist the pull of your touch, where I used to think love was gentle, but with you, it's a tempest, a whirlwind that sweeps me away, leaving me breathless and begging for more.

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.
