Until she meets Jennie Ruby Jane Kim-a dangerously familiar flame.
Same smile. Same walk. Same laugh.

Jennie Kim's life had always been simple. Mornings behind the counter of her aunt's coffee shop, evenings spent buried in medical textbooks, and nights sitting by her father's hospital bed, whispering promises she wasn't sure she could keep.
But everything changed the day her father's debts came knocking.
Manoban Corp - a name that could silence entire boardrooms - held the chains to her father's failed company. And standing at the head of it all was Lisa Manoban: the cold, untouchable CEO with an empire at her feet and eyes that never betrayed a flicker of mercy.
Jennie went to her office expecting rejection, maybe humiliation. She didn't expect an offer.
"Be mine," Lisa said simply, as if it were the easiest transaction in the world. "A girlfriend for the cameras. In exchange, your father's debts disappear, and his hospital bills are taken care of."
It was supposed to be a deal - insensitive, calculated, a cruel mockery of love.
But deals have a way of blurring into something else when the heart becomes collateral.
Jennie was smart enough to know better. She was cool enough to hide her trembling. But behind her brave eyes was the truth she could never admit: she was just a girl, soft and fragile, carrying a weight too heavy for her shoulders.
And Lisa, who had never known what it meant to love, was about to learn that some exchanges can't be calculated.
Because in the world of power and desperation, the only thing more dangerous than debt... was love itself.
