"Guess you'd know best, huh?"

Elisa Regina Thomas was born into the spotlight, constantly under the watchful eye of the world due to her powerful family. To everyone, she's just another privileged child in the long lineage of the Castillo family-a spoiled heiress with nothing but wealth and status. But beneath her perfect façade lies a deadly secret. Elisa is The Phantom, the most feared and respected assassin in the underworld, trained and molded by her family since birth.
Zeke Dagher, Syria's most eligible bachelor, has everything: wealth, charm, and an almost mythical status that leaves people clamoring for his attention. But Zeke's focus has never been on the countless admirers who throw themselves at him. Instead, his mind has always been on one person: Elisa. The girl who used to be his childhood best friend, the one he teased and cared for despite the distance the worlds placed between them. But when Zeke turned 18 and Elisa finally confessed the feelings she had kept hidden for so long, Zeke rejected her.
He broke her heart to obey his family, and Elisa hasn't forgiven him since.
Years later, their lives collide once again when Elisa, now pregnant and hiding from enemies, is forced to take refuge at one of Zeke's luxurious resorts. The years of separation haven't dulled the sharp edge of their unresolved feelings, and the chemistry between them is undeniable. But beneath the surface, there's still the hurt, the rejection, and the secrets that neither of them is ready to confront.
Can Elisa and Zeke navigate the wreckage of their past to build a future together? Or will the wounds they've carried for years be too deep to heal?
