Jane Beckett recently graduated college with a marketing degree and is ready to start her new career. She applies at Greene Industries for an intern position and gets offered a position as the CEO's personal assistant instead. Although the position isn't what she was aiming for, the salary and experience are desperately needed. She decides to take the job with the promise that she can get extra training by sitting in on marketing meetings and meeting once a week with the marketing team. She can't deny the fact that her boss is attractive on an otherworldly level, but she reminds herself that she must remain professional if she wants a future with this company. Besides, Mr. Greene is far too rich and important to ever even consider dating his personal assistant. 

Lee Greene is the CEO of Greene Industries and heir to his family's wealth. He has a reputation for being the bad playboy type of guy, but he's rich, so he can do whatever he wants, right? His attitude begins to change the day that Jane walks into his conference room for an interview. He can't put his finger on it, but something about this woman is appealing in a way Lee has never known before. He decides to hire her as his assistant so that he can get to know her better. Bit by bit, Lee finds himself more than a little attracted to Jane despite trying to convince himself that she is just another woman. He's had plenty of women in his lifetime; why was this one any different?

As Jane and Lee's relationship begins to heat up, secrets from a darker past find their way back into the spotlight.

"you're no one to me", his words echoed in my ears but what was it all when he kissed me; merely an illusion? It felt so real and lively. "...and just so you know, you're not allowed to leave this job until or before 6 months", he flung the contract papers in the air. I had signed the papers, the terms and conditions clearly meant that I was supposed to work for his company and had no right to leave it until his consent. "Leave my cabin for now", he ordered as he turned behind. ********** Amanda Waters is your typical College student who happens to face a lot of financial difficulties and as a result, is made to earn a living. She's blunt, She's sensitive but she is also accompanied by two of her best friends in this story: Gina Sullivan and Francis Rutherfold. The enterprise which she works in is different, very different. In fact, the 'CEO' is not just another Happy go lucky male lead of the company. Aaron Reynolds- Rude, Arrogant, Harsh, and Stubborn. He's what they call an eccedentesiast. They say that a person who defines negative adjectives has a lot more inside them, the darkness in that person may overrule all the Positiveness. Well, with Aaron, it's hard to say. But...What if Amanda already had a face-off with 'The CEO' before working in his firm? What if she had already drawn a thick line of hate? What if egos of the same level collide? What then? True Love? More like an illusion! An illusion that poses a life threat. An illusion with the ability to make you believe in non-existent things such as; fairies, demons, fate, and even destiny! Ironic is it not? What we as humans happen to rely on.
