Faye found herself caught between holding on and moving on after discovering that her girlfriend had cheated on her. For years, she had invested her heart and time into their long-distance relationship. Her girlfriend had gone abroad to finish her studies, and did everything she could to make things work. She begged, stayed, and endured the cold treatment, convincing herself that finding someone new would be impossible.
But over time, the weight of it all began to break her. Faye eventually realized that her love had pushed her into a state of depression and that holding on was hurting her more than letting go. So, she made the painful decision to walk away.
One night, in an attempt to forget, Faye decided to unwind with her friends. That's when she met Yoko - a beautiful stranger she hadn't seen before. Heartbroken and drunk, Faye let her emotions take over that night, losing herself in the moment.
The next morning, she woke up to a flood of notifications. To her shock, she had posted a photo of herself with Yoko - the stranger kissing her cheek - with the caption:
"My future girlfriend or future heartache?"
The post had gone up across all her social media accounts. Embarrassed, Faye quickly deleted the picture, hoping to erase the memory.
When she returned to work, her friends teased her, asking who the mysterious girl was. Faye was speechless - she hadn't even asked for Yoko's name, number, or social media. Not knowing which friend had brought her along that night, Faye eventually distanced herself from the group, though they urged her to find the girl again.
Days passed, and she couldn't get Yoko out of her mind. She kept the picture hidden in her gallery, often finding herself staring at it, whispering,
"I wish she'd looked at me the way she looked at me that night."
A powerful billionaire. A desperate artist. One scandalous contract that changes everything.

A deal meant to be discreet becomes a journey of passion, trust, and forbidden connection.
