INTRODUCTION: JAY MARIANO
At twenty-six, Jay Mariano is already a legend in the medical world.
Brilliant. Precise. Untouchable.
People call her The Miracle Surgeon.Patients call her hope.Young doctors call her impossible to beat.
But at home?
She's just Mama Reycee's stubborn daughter, Jasfer's sharp-tongued little girl, and the only sister of two completely opposite brothers:
Aries Mariano – calm, observant, protective.
Percy Mariano – loud, chaotic, allergic to seriousness.
Jay doesn't believe in slowing down.She skips meals. She drinks too much coffee. She carries the weight of every life she saves.
Love?Distraction.Weakness.Unnecessary.
She doesn't need anyone.
Or at least… that's what she tells herself.
INTRODUCTION: MARK KEIFER WATSON
At twenty-eight, Mark Keifer Watson is the youngest CEO in Watsons Company history.
Cold. Controlled. Feared.
Employees whisper when he walks by.Board members avoid meeting his eyes.Investors trust him blindly.
He runs the company like a battlefield. No emotions. No excuses. No second chances.
Family?
Serina Watson – mother, living abroad.
Keizer Watson – father, distant.
Keigan (16) and Keiren (5) – younger brothers he rarely sees.
His grandfather – the only one who can speak to him without fear.
Keifer doesn't believe in love.
Love distracts.Love weakens control.Love makes you vulnerable.
And he refuses to lose control.
