> She was just delivering food. She didn't know her life was about to change forever.
Amanda never imagined her future would be anything more than helping her mother run a struggling buka. That is, until a food delivery takes her into the home of Mr. Mark - a wealthy man with kindness in his eyes and a world far different from hers.
But through Mark, Amanda meets Mr. Richard - the arrogant CEO who once humiliated her during a job interview. She had no idea that crossing paths with him again would lead to something deeper... and far more dangerous.
What begins as a second chance slowly twists into a battle of pride, class, and pain. Because Amanda is about to find out that not every love story is sweet - and some hearts come with thorns.
From Street Cook to Stolen Heart is a heartfelt drama about fate, betrayal, and a girl who finds herself in the center of a world she never asked for... but might not survive without changing everything.
