Traumatized as a child, Anna is an heiress that never wanted what lay at her feet - power and riches beyond measure. A life lived freely was the only thing she cared for, even if that meant leaving family and her place in corporate monarchy behind. Until one spring night in a shadowy alley, an encounter with an enigmatic stranger threatened to unhinge the safe and normal path she carefully designed for her life. "If I had just chosen the busy avenue instead of that grubby alley, my time here would've been more pleasant. Of course we would still meet, but we wouldn't have to give it another thought. We could've smiled at each other without this feeling of being strangulated. A glance wouldn't have to mean the whole world, but just that - a practical nothing."
