Paradox Series 2: Never Meant To Exist
Zephyria Merlin is a struggling accountant who just wants to survive. But her life falls apart in one night when her best friend betrays her, vanishing with the 10 million pesos she was supposed to deposit for her boss.
Facing a lifetime in prison, Zephyria decides to forget her problems for one last night. She goes to a bar, gets drunk, and finds a guy to hook up with. But when she notices how rich the guy looks, a desperate idea hits her. In a moment of drunken desperation, she hatches a plan. If she kidnaps him and demands a ransom, she can pay back the debt and get her life back.
The plan seems perfect until she realizes the man she kidnapped is the person she hates the most, Jullianne Drei Vasquez, the only gay son of her boss. Terrified of being punished for both the missing money and the kidnapping, Zephyria realizes there is no turning back.
