Rachel Foster’s carefully constructed world is crumbling around her. Her fiancé, Jasper, faces imminent ruin, caught in a web of accusations and financial turmoil. Desperate to save him, Rachel is left with only one option: Kingsly Scott, the man she abandoned years ago, a man now transformed into a billionaire forged in the fires of betrayal.

Kingsly agrees to help, but his offer is far from charitable. He hasn't forgotten Rachel's decision to choose wealth over their love, and he intends to extract a price more devastating than she could ever imagine. His terms are brutal, forcing Rachel to confront the ghosts of their shared past and the devastating consequences of her choices.

As she navigates the treacherous landscape of Kingsly's world, a world of power plays, high-stakes deals, and simmering resentments, Rachel finds herself caught in a dangerous game of manipulation and desire. The lines between love and revenge blur as old flames are rekindled, threatening to consume them both.

But Kingsly's motivations are shrouded in mystery. Is he truly driven by revenge, or does a flicker of their former love still burn within his hardened heart? Rachel must unravel his true intentions while battling her own conflicting emotions. Can she reconcile the man she once loved with the ruthless tycoon he has become?

Meanwhile, a shadow lurks beneath the surface. Rachel’s brother, Noah, is entangled in a risky venture within Kingsly’s empire, a venture that could have far-reaching consequences. A conspiracy is brewing, threatening to expose secrets and destroy everything Rachel holds dear.

Caught between her loyalty to Jasper, her reawakened feelings for Kingsly, and the looming threat of unknown enemies, Rachel must make impossible choices. Will she sacrifice her own future to protect the ones she loves? Or will she become another casualty in Kingsly's ruthless game?

In the study of the villa, Liam Archer reported to Kingsly, who was seated behind the desk, "William Franklin found he couldn't reach Miss Foster's phone, so he had someone hack into the phone's system. Currently, William is on a call with Miss Foster. If there are no surprises, I think William will ask to meet her."


Kingsly leaned back in his leather chair, his calm, handsome face expressionless, his thin lips faintly saying, "I need to know the content of their conversation."


Liam nodded. "I've already got someone working on it."


Kingsly's fingers tapped lightly on the desk, and suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly. "How's the search for those two going?"


Liam said, "I've sent people to speed up the investigation. We can track their whereabouts within three days."


Kingsly's deep, dark eyes narrowed into a line, his voice devoid of warmth. "I don't want any more delays."
