Drystan Emris De Castro has been a skilled hitman since he involved himself in the field. His rates are high, and all important personalities always request him for one reason: he is undeniably talented. Once Drystan is in the field, he always makes sure that the subject is cold. As much as he wants to see private detectives lose their minds investigating his work, he always leaves no crumbs. Aside from being a celebrity in the underground, he is also a jerk, an asshole, and a fucker. The most spoiled piece of crap you could ever encounter.
If he wants something, he always gets it pronto. Cash? He had plenty. Luxury items? One swipe, and then it'll be his. Women? No problem at all; just one smirk and they're crawling on his bed. Literally, if he wants it, he gets it. There is no need to beg for it. Because he believes that begging is for the weak. But his life went three hundred degrees when a client requested to kill a woman. A powerful businesswoman in Asia.
Triple A's, or Anastasia Ara Agafanov, a half-Russian, half-Japanese, is a cold-hearted bitch in terms of business-related topics. She'll do everything for her business. She is a woman who prioritizes money over stinky men, and when she and Drystan crossed paths in a not-so-appealing way since then, the man wanted her; Drystan Emris De Castro wanted her.
"I want it, I got it," that's what he believed, but he was wrong when he started to beg Ara for attention; he actually did something against his principle just to be noticed by her, and things got out of hand when he discovered that Anastasia Ara Agafanov is a vampire.

Jean-Martin Ferrer has spent his life building an empire. His ruthless efficiency has earned him both admiration and fear. With no patience for distractions-especially love-he sees relationships as nothing more than liabilities.
But when his grandfather's will drops an ultimatum-marry or lose everything-Jean-Martin suddenly finds himself cornered by the very thing he's always avoided.
Natalie Francisco is barely holding it together.
By day, she's a student.
By night, she juggles multiple part-time jobs-barista, tutor, waitress-anything to keep the lights on and food on the table. But no matter how hard she works, it's never enough. The debt left by her late mother's illness continues to bury her like quicksand she can't crawl out of. Every missed payment is like a ticking bomb. And when the threats start targeting her family, Natalie knows she's run out of time.
Desperation leads her to the last thing she ever thought she'd consider. Becoming an escort.
One night. One client. That's all it's supposed to be.
But when the door opens, it's not a stranger waiting-it's Jean-Martin Ferrer. The man she never expected to see again.
