60 parts Complete MatureMaureen Delacroix and Sebastian Cross have been enemies for as long as they can remember. Born into the world of high-society privilege and immense wealth, their families have never seen eye to eye. What started as a rivalry between their fathers turned into an all-consuming, bitter hatred between them.
From the outside, Maureen is the epitome of grace-intelligent, poised, and seemingly perfect in every way. She runs one of the most powerful financial empires in the world, a legacy built by her late mother. But her life is anything but perfect. And Sebastian Cross? He's the son of a man who has always seen her family as competition. He's arrogant, cold, and ruthless, with a business empire of his own that rivals hers.
But it was one betrayal that shattered their fragile truce. The night Sebastian used her-the night he ruined everything she worked so hard to build in one swift, unforgivable move. He exposed her company's darkest secrets to the public, launching a corporate war that nearly destroyed her family. He stripped away everything that mattered to her.
Now, five years later, the stakes are higher than ever. Maureen is still rebuilding her empire, keeping her face flawless while secretly plotting her revenge. But when an unexpected opportunity arises-a business deal that would make both their companies the most powerful in the world-Maureen and Sebastian are forced to work together.
Neither of them wants to, but there's too much at risk. The deal could make or break them both. But when they're in the same room? Sparks fly. And not the good kind.
He still wants her to pay for what she did, and she hates him with every ounce of her being. There's no trust, no love, only sharp words, seething tension, and manipulative games. But beneath all that hate lies something darker. Something dangerous they both refuse to admit.
