There's always a price for defying destiny. 
Born with a power to make men irresistibly in love with her, Laleen dreams of experiencing a love unbound by her powers. But a man like that could never exist in her life due to the curse placed on her when she was just a baby.
When her soul is exchanged with another's after an encounter with the witch who cursed her as a baby, Laleen is giving an opportunity to start her life anew and maybe, get the love story she has always wanted. Except... how is her curse still with her despite now becoming another person in another world? 
As Stephanie, Laleen meets Shane, a mysterious man who for some reason isn't affected by her powers. Not thinking that a man such as himself could exist in this world, Laleen is deeply drawn to him.
Due to unforseen circumstances, they end up together as husband and wife. 
But Shane isn't just a mysterious man who refuses to love her. He bears his own secrets and a great trauma that Laleen is yet to uncover and may be the key to unlocking his unyielding heart.
As Laleen's quest for love is greatly challenged by a witch's thirst for revenge, secrets are unveiled and stories of the past are brought to question. 
Can Laleen find the true love she so seeks? Will Shane's heart ever be opened to her? Can a love thriving without destiny's divine permission ever see the light?
Or will it be burnt to ashes, buried in the cold dark hands of fate's cruelty.

In-between Our Destinies

Laleen came back a few minutes later with a bright smile on her face. The tense atmosphere she met when she returned made her pause in her tracks for a second, her smile failing.

"Lunch is served now. Come on," she said almost breathlessly as she stared at the both of them.

Elizabeth got up on her feet as if eager to leave immediately. The force she used to stand up was so abrupt that she felt her head sway for a second and she blinked hard.

"Are you okay, Beth?" Laleen called to her.

Noah's lips twitched, his heart racing with anticipation.

'More fun for me' he hummed to himself with a smile.

Standing up as well, he let Laleen lead the way to the dining table.

Laleen laughed nervously, trying to clear the air around them.

Noah sat down like a spoiled brat, his back leaning on the chair as he stared at the food like it was filth.
