The conflict between love and duty  . 
 The intersection of art and crime  . 

In a world where power and ambition reign, two people stand on opposite sides of the spectrum-yet are irresistibly drawn to each other.

When fate forces into a high-stakes battle, the chemistry between them is undeniable, but so is the animosity. Arac, bound by his desire for Verena, finds himself torn between his mafia duties and his growing obsession with her. Verena, on the other hand, struggles to maintain control of her own emotions, knowing that getting involved with him could mean losing everything she's worked for.

In a clash of hearts vs strategy, they'll each have to decide: 
Will they fight to stay apart, or will they risk it all for a chance at something neither of them ever expected?

The line between love and hate has never been thinner.

"Curiosity killed the kitty Miss Adams." My body stiffened. Slowly I turned around just to see Mr. Parker standing in front of me with hands in his trouser pockets. I bit my lip. I thought he would be angry but when I looked at him. His face showed no emotion. He then started walking towards me I moved back. This continued until my back hit the door. Then he placed his one hand on my side, leaning forward, close to me. "What was rule number three Miss Adams." His face was extremely close to mine my breath got hitched. I couldn't answer his question why? Because I was more focused in the distance between us. "I asked you something Miss Adams." He said again. "T-That t-there a-are prohibited areas i-in the house where I shouldn't g-go." "It seems like you remember the rules. This room is one of those prohibited areas.
