Sophia Vale is an ambitious young woman in search of a high-paying job. When she receives a job offer from the renowned Kai Ronan, something doesn't seem right. She attains everything she ever wanted, except for one thing: love. Yet, she is shackled, forced to keep her overpowering longing concealed.
Kai Ronan, the cold and reserved CEO of a security firm, led a life that was monotonous and uninspiring. That is, until a new presence disrupted his routine. Plagued by an inexplicable emotion, he found himself fixated on her. She became the sole object of his attention; he was determined to make her his.
It was wrong; she was his assistant, and he was her boss, yet they couldn't resist until the light of day.
Strange and mysterious events lie ahead, with betrayals, lies, and homicide, yet nothing can shatter their love for each other.
Ready to risk it all, their love was a destructive force that could lead to their downfall. The company was in jeopardy, and hatred and envy threatened to doom them both.
Elena Romano, a fierce and unyielding lawyer, becomes the only person who can keep Tristan Valenti, a notorious and untouchable mafia kingpin, out of prison. But as she's drawn deeper into his dangerous world, she discovers that the battle isn't just about saving him from the law-it's about saving him from himself. Yet in breaking every rule she's sworn to uphold, Elena risks losing more than her morals-she risks losing her heart to the man who might be beyond redemption.
Melancholy - a bittersweet ache that lingers in the soul, like the taste of wine that's both bitter and intoxicating. It's the quiet storm of longing and loss, woven with moments of beauty so fleeting they hurt. Just like what Elena and Tristan want-something so consuming, it borders on destruction. Their love is jagged yet tender, a sanctuary wrapped in shadows where passion wars with despair. It's the sharp edges of love, the bruises of trust, and the haunting allure of wanting what might ruin you, yet never being able to let it go.
