“So, do you agree to this… Ms. Aliyu?”
His tone was smooth, arrogant—like velvet over steel.

Aisha’s eyes lifted, steady and unbothered. “…Yeah. But on my terms.”

“Terms?” His brow arched, amused… for now.

She crossed one leg over the other, deliberate. Dangerous. “First—I'm not your employee. You don't own me.”

That wiped the smirk off his face.

He leaned in, gaze darkening with curiosity—and something else. She didn’t flinch. Didn’t blink.

“And most importantly…” Her voice dropped. Her eyes hardened. “No. Catching. Feelings.”

A challenge. A warning. A lie waiting to happen.




Aisha Aliyu is a bold, vibrant final-year interior design student, drowning in bills and craving more than just survival. Curious, a little reckless, and hungry for control over her own life, she signs up for an elite escort service. She expected money. Power. A little thrill.

She didn't expect Michael J. Donovan.

A self-made billionaire with ice in his veins and control issues in his blood. He doesn't do love, and he certainly doesn’t entertain women who talk back. But when Aisha sets her terms? He signs—just to watch her try to hold the line.

Two lives. One contract.
No strings.
No feelings.
No way out.

But rules were made to be broken, and some hearts… were made to be undone.



She wrote the rules. He’s going to make her rewrite every one—starting with her heart.

CATCHING FEELINGS.

I know I overreacted but I couldn't rein in my feelings anymore. It pissed me that she didn't take us as seriously as much as I did. I felt like I was the only person fighting for this relationship. Well, then relationship. Because technically I put an end to everything. I guess that makes it easier for her right? After all, she still planned on leaving me either way. 


I know I was cruel about what I said. I just wanted to hurt her as much as she did me. I couldn't believe she had just tossed the future we had planned together so easily without even looking back, with no regrets. I know she always told me I meant a lot to her, that she loved me, that I was the first man she had ever loved aside from her family. But right now that didn't feel that way.
