In the world of opulence and power, not everything is as perfect as it seems. Behind the gates of the grandest estates and within the walls of skyscrapers that touch the sky, there are stories of loneliness, desperation, and love that defy the odds. This is the story of Sarah Kensington, the heiress to a billion-dollar empire, and Alex Carter, a self-made CEO whose journey to the top was paved with loss and sacrifice.
Sarah had everything she could ever want-except freedom. Her father, a titan of industry, controlled every aspect of her life, from the people she associated with to the decisions she made. For as long as she could remember, her life had been a series of transactions, every relationship a calculated move in her father's grand design.
Alex, on the other hand, had clawed his way to the top from nothing. The son of a factory worker, he knew the meaning of hard work, sacrifice, and loss. By the time he met Sarah, he was already one of the youngest CEOs in the country, but his success had come at a price. He had learned to trust no one and to keep his heart guarded.
Their paths crossed one fateful night at a charity gala, a night that would set off a chain of events neither of them could have anticipated. For behind their carefully constructed facades, both Sarah and Alex carried wounds that had never fully healed. And as they were about to find out, the road to love was fraught with danger, pain, and betrayal.
But in the end, could love be enough to heal the scars of the past? Or would the weight of their worlds tear them apart?

It was supposed to be a simple trade off with her father but only it wasn't so simple. Not when they both were attracted to each other on levels they didn't understand.

"What were you thinking was going to happen tonight?" I question, trying hard to conceal the surge of surprise she's brought on to me. She leans in closer to my face, her voice a seductive whisper "A one night stand".
What the fuck? Is she trying to play some kind of a game with me? Because it's working, she keeps surprising me and I couldn't hate her more right now. My hand reaches out to grab her face, my cool skin feels uncomfortable over her warm cheeks. She leans into my touch, green eyes fixed on mine.
"As much as I'd like to do that, I have an agenda for tonight" I pull my hand back unwillingly.
"What agenda?" She looks at me as if I have grown another head.
"I'm going to be honest here, I'm not taking you to have sex with you. This is a kidnapping"
