❛ You can pretend you don't miss me
You can pretend you don't care
All you wanna do is kiss me
Oh what a shame I'm not there❜

What's more dangerous than falling in love?
Many have asked this question, and the answers varied from person to person. For Salem Lionheart however, it was being 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧. She knew this from personal experience, all thanks to her ex Adranus Kane.
Salem and Adranus were college sweethearts. No one would have guessed that the college's local "player" would ever fall for someone as nice as her. They were together through trials and tribulations of jealous women trying to break them to rumors being spread about her. That all ended when she started noticing him acting different, and before she knew it, she found herself cheated and heartbroken at the age of 21.
Now three years later, both are doing successful in their careers, but twisted faith decided, 'Why not put them on each other's paths again?' The two have changed some for good and mainly for the worst. Salem isn't as naive as she was before, and Adranus turned more colder than he used to.
Both of the two have to navigate working together and during this time secrets come out to play, as well as skeletons from the past. Follow us on the journey of two ex lovers as they face the problems of their present and their relationship's past.
Will they get back together?
