"Even in the darkest moments, there's a reason to smile-because pain is only part of the journey, not the destination."
Serafina and Allesandro, fierce business rivals, are two souls bound by ambition and haunted by their pasts. In the high-stakes world of corporate power plays, they've always been at odds-Serafina, the bright and sharp negotiator with a smile that hides deep pain, and Allesandro, the cold, calculating businessman who has long since buried his dreams under layers of loss and betrayal.
Neither expected much from each other beyond the fierce competition in the boardroom. But when their paths cross in a moment of emotional chaos, something shifts. Serafina's lively spirit and laughter begin to thaw Allesandro's icy exterior, while he offers her a stability she's never known-a calm amidst the storm of her trauma.
As their rivalry turns into an undeniable connection, they find themselves drawn to each other, not just as opponents but as two people who understand the weight of hiding their scars. Together, they confront the ghosts of their pasts-Serafina, with her broken home and lost love, and Allesandro, with his fears of being hurt again.
But their love is fragile, constantly tested by the demands of their careers and the unresolved pain they both carry. When Serafina's buried trauma resurfaces, threatening to pull them apart, they must decide: Can they truly overcome their pasts and smile through the pain, or will their rivalry-and their own fears-tear them apart?
In "Tangled Fate," love and ambition collide as Serafina and Allesandro discover that even in a world built on competition and betrayal, there's still hope for healing and happiness

Excerpt :
"I think I'm strong enough to handle myself" She confesses with specks of anger darting through her eyes.
I groan "You are, but it doesn't mean I like you being away from me in case anything happens" I stress my words, my breath hitting her face in gentle waves.
"Shall you put me on a leash too?" She spits defiantly, smelling the tinge of alcohol on her breath, the knife digging deeper into my skin, I feel it's only moments away from piercing through my skin.
My eyes snap to her angry contortions, her eyebrows furrowed, mouth slightly agape.
"Come on, dance with me. The earth is spinning, we can't just stand on it"
