What's home, if not the first place you flee from? What's love, if not that blazing, unexplainable feeling born from the ashes of hate?
Reputable for her appeal, servility, and obsession with cartoons, Alaina is a workaholic immigrant doctor who's sworn off love. Scarred by her parents' past turbulent relationship, which left her emotionally guarded, she endures her family's relentless efforts to marry her off.
Then one day, her tranquil world is set ablaze when she collides with a man who redefines arrogance.
Davian Ash. Ruthless, enigmatic, and wealthy beyond comprehension. He's a businessman with a shadowy past, and a darkness that clings to him like an impenetrable skin.
His piercing green eyes unsettle her. Her big brown eyes infuriate him. His arrogance leaves her off balance. Her quick wit angers and fascinates him. His broodiness chills her. Her quirky attitude irks him.
They both despise each other, but the chemistry between them is undeniable.
When she inadvertently takes something precious from him, Davian's revenge forces them into closer proximity, and the emotions they harbor grow even more intense.
Despite the adversity he drowns her in, she and her subconscious can't help but fan-girl over him, craving things she knows she shouldn't.
She tries to resist falling for a man like him. An embodiment of everything she fears, a mirror of the toxicity she vowed never to bear again. And yet, as he lets her unravel the layers of his harsh exterior, uncovering the raw humanity underneath, she's forced to confront an uncomfortable truth: the beast has a soul, and it's a soul she can't ignore.
Will she prove everyone right once again about how weak she is and let him in? Forgive his transgressions, dare to love the man who turned her world into ashes?
Did the flames he put her through destroy her, or did they transform her into something far stronger than anyone, including herself, could ever gave her credit for?

If only it was an Illusion!

"...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.
