Christen Govera, At 26, he's the cold-hearted CEO of a successful company. Driven by ambition, he's ruthless in everything he does. Having grown up without a mother, he learned to rely only on himself, and he carries that independence with him into every part of his life. He trusts no one and does things his way, often leaving a trail of broken relationships behind. His approach to business-and life-is to stay focused, no matter who gets hurt. His lack of empathy and emotional walls make him a toxic force, always looking out for his own gain.
Amelia Cooper, At 24, she works in the fashion industry, known for her calm and composed nature. Though she appears gentle, she's toxic in her own way, keeping people at a distance and quietly manipulating things to suit her. She prefers being alone, often lost in fantasies about fictional men from her books. She doesn't crave attention but is selective about who she lets in, always careful to protect her peace
Amelia was a hopeless romantic, dreaming of true love, while Christen didn't believe in it at all. They met at an event, instantly clashing and becoming enemies. But as time passed, Christen began to care for Amelia's optimistic view of life, and she saw past his tough exterior to his hidden vulnerability. Slowly, they fell for each other.
Just when everything seemed to be falling into place, Amelia's parents arranged her marriage to someone else. Torn between her love for Christen and her family's expectations, she faced a tough choice. Christen, now deeply in love, couldn't bear losing her. Would love be enough to bring them together, or would they have to let go?
