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.

“What's wrong with me being a bad guy? Why don't you just be my good girl instead?”

It was finally the day of departure for Matteo. He had streamlined his luggage to just two suitcases. His siblings accompanied him to the airport. Alessia's eyes welled with tears as she hugged him one last time.

"Take care and do your best. Whatever happens, we'll be proud of you."

"Thank you, sis. Take care of yourself, and you too, Lisa."

"Win," Lisa said, holding up his hand in her fist.

After the final goodbyes, Matteo proceeded to board the airplane. It was a 13 hours journey to Canada, where the competition was hosted.

Matteo stepped off the plane, stretching his tired muscles. The long flight had left him stiff. He felt his body tingle with excitement as he took a deep breath of the Canadian mild oceanic air. He glanced around, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings of the airport. Clutching his passport and hoping his nervousness didn't show, he moved towards customs.
