Jake, a charismatic and extroverted software engineer living in the heart of Colombo, Sri Lanka, is used to living life on his own terms. With a successful career, good money, and a penchant for parties and casual encounters, Jake is a man who indulges in life's pleasures without a second thought. However, his world turns upside down when he meets Dalia Dippolito, a mysterious and alluring businesswoman from Malaysia, at an exclusive nightclub. After a night of playful flirting, Dalia leaves Jake a cryptic invitation-a key card to a luxurious hotel suite.
What begins as a steamy one-night stand soon transforms into a game of passion and control, as Jake and Dalia's undeniable chemistry pulls them into a whirlwind of erotic desire. Dalia, a woman with her own secrets and rules, challenges Jake to step outside his comfort zone, igniting a fire in him that he never anticipated.
But as the heat between them intensifies, Jake realizes that his encounter with Dalia is more than just physical-it's a life-altering experience that forces him to confront his own needs, desires, and vulnerabilities. What starts as a wild, lust-fueled night becomes a journey of self-discovery, where boundaries are pushed, and Jake is forced to question everything he thought he knew about love, control, and himself.

I watched as the blood seeped through the white fabric, staining her once white bridal gown. I cradled her in my arms while covering the gun shot wound with my bare hand. Her breath was shallow and labored. She stretched her arm reaching my tears-stained cheek, stroking it with her soft palm. A single tear escaped her eye, sliding to the side.
"Don't leave me, please!" I pleaded.
Her shivering lips flashed a half smile. "I'm afraid I...I c-can't keep my promise...''
"No...No! You can't leave me Rhel. I won't allow you to,'' I interrupted her, "You're going to be fine...and then w-we'll have our honeymoon. Please don't go. I'm begging you. Don't let go...''
She took a deep labored breath, "I'll always l-love you, L-Luke...''
Before I could reply, her hand went limp, leaving my cheek and her eyes draped close.
