He vowed revenge. She became his unhealthy fixation.
Livia's humble life was upended when her mother married wealthy magnate Harvey Thorne, thrusting them into unimaginable luxury. But Livia knew their new reality was built on shattered lives: Harvey's ex-wife, driven to a fatal pill overdose, and his son, Haynes, exiled. Faced with Haynes's burning hatred, Livia bore the weight of their resentment. Yet, during a fleeting homecoming, an undeniable, forbidden spark ignited between them, blossoming into an intense, secret romance.
Their fragile connection was brutally cut short by Livia's mother, Adrianne. In a critical moment, when Adrianne's scheme was almost revealed, Livia was forced into a heart-wrenching choice to protect her mother, leaving Haynes the one to blame. He misinterpreted Livia's actions, believing she had conspired with Adrianne, using their romance to trap him. The wound of this betrayal cut deep, sending Haynes away for good.
Years later, his father's death brings Haynes back, now a powerful force ready to reclaim his legacy and unleash his vengeance. He strips Livia and her mother of everything, throwing them back into their old life.
As Livia struggles to survive, a devastating blow strikes: her mother is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Desperate, Livia is cornered into an unthinkable proposition to save her, a dark bargain that puts her directly in Haynes's path once more.
He sees her vulnerability. He smells her desperation. And he offers a way out-a deal that demands her body, her submission, and a soul-searing intimacy with the man who hates her most. But what happens when the line between vengeance and desire blurs, and the flames of hatred ignite an even more dangerous passion?
