"Was that a dream?" she whispered to herself, her voice trembling. Ariel sat up slowly, her teary eyes scanning the alien surroundings. The cave she found herself in wasn't of this earth—it shimmered with an ethereal glow. A gentle stream flowed nearby, the water reflecting silver light, and the chirping of unseen birds echoed like a celestial symphony. Her gaze shifted, and she froze. A heart-shaped lake stretched before her, its surface glimmering with liquid starlight. Around it, glowing rose petals floated and scattered, bathing the cavern in a soft, otherworldly luminescence. Night ruled here, painting everything in shades of magic and allure. A deep, resonant voice suddenly sliced through the serenity. "You're finally awake." Ariel's head whipped around. Standing before her was a man with piercing hazel eyes, arms crossed over a broad, muscular chest. He wore a long black hood that draped from head to toe, yet even in the shadows, his chiseled face glimmered with striking intensity. He smirked, his voice laced with mockery. "Look at you… such a frail thing. You look like you've been crying for years, tsk." Ariel's chest tightened with fear, yet something in his presence demanded her attention. She managed to whisper, "Wh—who are you?"

When fate plays matchmaker, even running won’t save you. I’m Alexander Christopher Ethan: Ace the Great if you ask me and I’ve mastered two things in life: disappointing my father and dodging responsibility like it’s an Olympic sport. Seven years ago, a car crash stole my mom and almost took me with her. Dad shipped me abroad to “recover,” and I did… by partying, flirting, and pretending adulthood was someone else’s problem. Then one phone call ruins everything: “Come home.” My welcome-back surprise? An arranged engagement. To a man. A CEO Dad personally handpicked without bothering to ask me. I laugh. I argue. I throw the man’s photo into the fireplace without even looking—and I run. Biggest. Mistake. Ever. Dad’s men chase me through the city until I end up bleeding in an alley with a shattered leg. I’m sure this is how I die. Then he appears. A stranger who fights like an avenging angel and looks at me like I’m worth saving. Maybe it’s the blood loss, maybe it's destiny, but I kiss him, right there in the middle of the chaos. When everything settles, I lie: Lost phone. No home. No idea where to go. He believes me and offers one night. I take it. Then I take another… and another… until one night becomes a week and I’m stupidly, recklessly falling for him. His name is Gabriel. No family. No past. Just the life he built with his own hands. He calls me his shameless brat. I call him my angel. But angels don’t stay forever. My father's men eventually finds me. They drag me home to face my arranged fiancé.....the man I’ve been running from. It’s him. Gabriel. My angel. My lover. The self-made CEO who climbed from orphan to the head of my family’s empire. The man who pulled me from the burning car seven years ago and saved my life. The man I was always meant to marry. And now he realizes the truth: Ethan. Ace. The spoiled heir he was promised, and the runaway he fell for… are the same person. We were both running from this engagement… straight into each other’s arms. I thought I could outrun destiny. All I did was fall in love with it. Now we’re standing in the wreckage of lies, heartbreak, and second chances, and I have only one question: Was this fate… or the universe’s cruelest joke? Either way, I’m done running. Not from him. Not from us. Not from the future I tried so hard to escape. Because sometimes the person you’re meant for… is the one you’ve been running toward all along.
