“I have bad news Boss.  Your wife was kidnapped from the cruise ship.  Her bodyguards colluded with the kidnappers.”

“What? “ The pen he was holding snapped into two.  His face contorted in fury. 

“Find out who the kidnappers are right now!  Exhaust all resources to bring her back!”  He commanded urgently, his voice filled with both anger and anguish.

“Bo… Boss.   Their get away boat was caught in a tornado and has capsized.  The kidnappers’ bloated bodies were recovered.  Your wife is missing.”  The assistant was scared to say that probably his wife is also dead.

Time stood still.

Erik felt as if an iron fist squeezed his heart.  It stopped beating for a few seconds and he cannot breathe.  Clutching his chest, He staggered backwards and fell down as he lost consciousness.

Meet Erik Lee.  He is from a broken family  but has an exceptional business acumen.  Despite his dark past he became a self made billionaire at a very young age.

Aryana Jones is a very beautiful mixed blood woman whose father was Erik’s chauffeur.   She hated Erik because he stole his father from her and was the reason for his death.

When they met again, he saved her not just once but twice.  She has forgiven him for while she hated him in the surface, she has also loved him from the bottom of her heart for as long as she can remember.  During their chanced encounter, Erik remembered the promise he made to Aryana’s father when he died in his arms 6 years ago.

Who would have thought that when Erik fulfilled that promise, he had caused Aryana too much heartache and exposed her to unknown dangers.

Amidst the schemes of their enemies especially the calculative woman who was Erik’s first love, will Aryana survive?

The Billionaire’s Promise

"Don't ever think of having any design on Erik. That man can only be mine!"

Aryana's gaze followed Julia as she walked gracefully out of the meeting room. She frowned. Why did she feel that she gained a formidable enemy?

"Aryana, come on. We have to prepare for our presentation on Friday. Didn't you hear the President himself say that he wants to see our presentation? There are only the two of us who are new here so he must be referring to us." Elaine tugged at her and she excitedly led her back to their workstation.

Their work area was an open space concept where there were no cubicles. The tables can seat four people, with two people sitting side by side and the other two facing each other with only a low divider separating them. Only the big bosses have enclosed rooms and this included their manager Roxie and Director Julia.

Aryana and Elaine, however, were facing the wall so there were only the two of them at a table which Aryana preferred as well.
