❛ I might not know her name, but for now; that didn't really matter. Because there was one thing I could be sure of, I'd either find my way into her world or find a way to impel her into mine and make her mine, and mine alone.❜

The last thing Ariane Ruelle thinks of adding to her bucket list in the next two years was marriage seeing as she 'seemed happy' with her 'caring' boyfriend; who drops a bombshell on her on his return.

Then she and her father are caught in a life threatening crisis and her man, now ex, who could have been her only source of help doesn't seem all that caring anymore.

Leaving her with only one available remedy; Deon De Luca, the estranged yet entrancing boss of her father. 

Mr De Luca can help, but is also caught up in his own crisis and he makes Ariane  his only option of help.

How hard can it be? What could be more demanding than saving her father's life at the moment. So Ariane does the most foolish thing ever heard of, signing a agreement without reading every single word.

After all, all Mr De Luca was asking for was a collateral, wasn't it?All Rights Reserved
