She believes in true love.

He doesn’t believe in love.

But what is love, really?

She is the epitome of success—a star people look up to and admire. To him, however, she is merely a business transaction, a partner chosen to enhance his status. To his friends, she is just a fool in love, a pathetic figure begging for affection.

He should be angry, but instead, he finds himself overwhelmed by emotions he can’t express or understand. Is this possessiveness, or is he finally learning to love her?

She is determined to return to her first love, but inside, she is torn. Did she really treat him as just a substitute, or did she actually come to love him?

What are they supposed to do when love is a question mark?

Layla's fingers danced over her laptop. "They'll be blind, deaf, and completely at our mercy."

Victor smirked, his eyes gleaming with malice. "Good. Let them come."
