April Scott only wanted to help her family until she crossed paths with Dr. Adrian Smith, the ruthless billionaire and her childhood crush, who is aware of her dark past and turns her life upside down in twenty-four hours. Her sister is hospitalized, her home is suddenly sold. April becomes the target of a deadly plot she doesn’t understand.

Every time she tries to escape, Adrian is there… saving her, controlling her, or destroying her, she can’t tell which. She could only sense he wanted something from her and she also finds herself drawn to him. But when a confrontation ends with Adrian presumed dead, April becomes a fugitive overnight. And the only person willing to protect her is a stranger with secrets of his own.

Meanwhile, where April was, everyone was made to step down from the bus one after the other for the inspection. April was totally scared out of her wits. There was really no escaping this time because they searched each guy that came down, head to toes. At some point, she found herself wondering if Kyle had fooled her into thinking they would journey together in the first instance and decided to leave her stranded and confused. Meanwhile, she also wondered if he knew Nashville was her initial destination. Well, she decided in her mind that if she was able to scale through the journey and make it to her destination, she would have to take off her disguise and head straight to her grandma's place. She was ready to face whatever that may come next after that.
