In a world where everyone seeks salvation and redemption, lives a man who loathes those concepts to his core. Some know him as Xavier Kane, the corporate raider who collects companies like pebbles; some know him as the messenger of death who lords over a reputable and highly structured hitman company; some know him as Dr. Andrea, the best cosmetology surgeon in Italy. 

To Alessia, he was just the puppy-faced Giovanni she fell in love with at first sight, and Xavier would do anything to keep it that way.

Xavier knows damn well he shouldn't ask for more, he didn't deserve it, but her stubborn pout and her innocent innuendo cause friction that soon turns to sizzling heat.

How long can Xavier play the cute boy next door when inside him lives the greatest evil, the dirtiest secrets, and the kinkiest acts?

Alessia, a girl who had to become a mother to her two siblings at the age of eleven after witnessing her mother's horrible death, just got out of a toxic relationship, jobless and broken.

Weeks later, she gets a 'miraculously' job with Xavier Kane, the vile billionaire she came to despise for his dubious acts. When she finds out her gentleman was the same man she hated the most, she is very pissed.

The three siblings gathered around the dinner table with their grandfather, Pa, for the first time. A simple yet delicious Italian meal was spread before them—bruschetta, pasta with tomato sauce, and a green salad.

"I'm so glad I could finally meet my grandchildren and share a meal together," Pa smiled warmly. He sighed, "Decades ago, I envisioned this scene as a grand dinner with my daughter and maybe a son, surrounded by their children and their children's children. Even though it turned out this way, I'm still glad. I'm sure those who have left us behind are glad too."

Pa said a little prayer afterwards and the three siblings joined in. The siblings exchanged awkward glances as they began to eat in silence.
