Jai Sapnu had it all - money, wealth, and connections. She was the epitome of success, but deep down, she felt a void in her heart. Something was missing, and no matter how hard she tried to fill that emptiness, it remained. She believed that the missing piece was in relationships, but the mere thought of the word sent her mind back to someone who had shattered her heart in the past.
That someone was Michael Joseph Hernandez, a man who could be compared to the Greek god Adonis. He was a renowned businessman in Asia, with a car company that distributed luxurious vehicles across Europe and Asia. He had already settled into fatherhood and had no need for a woman to play the role of a mother to his daughter.
Fate, however, had a mischievous way of playing with their lives. Jai and Michael's paths crossed once again when it came to a matter concerning his daughter. Jai had hoped to ignore him, even though she had developed a fondness for his ex's daughter. But her hopes were dashed when Michael appeared at her doorstep, offering her a preposterous proposal.
Will she accept Michael's proposal, despite the pain he caused her in the past? Will she allow herself to be drawn back into his world, knowing that it could lead to heartbreak once again?.
