Love. Trust. Promises. Years ago, Elianna Cortez and Veronica Sokolov were inseparable-two girls who promised each other the world. But then, Veronica vanished, leaving Elianna heartbroken and confused.
Now an ambitious, bright-eyed lawyer, Elianna is trapped in a picture-perfect nightmare. Her husband, Victor Volkov, heir to an old-money empire, is charming to the public but abusive behind closed doors. He promises change, but Elianna knows better. Still, she stays-for reasons even she doesn't fully understand.
One night, she's assigned a high-profile case involving Sokolov International, a shadowy business empire. When she walks into the boardroom, she freezes. Veronica is there-alive, powerful, cold, and breathtaking.
She never stopped watching Elianna. In fact, she's been pulling strings to get her back. But Veronica isn't the same girl she once knew. She's now ruthless behind a polished corporate façade.
As Elianna's life unravels, Veronica offers her an escape-but it comes with a price: loyalty, submission, and a love that might be more possessive than protective.
