 Starley, who once loved Raul, reluctantly accepts the offer to save her parents.
 Their previous relationship was complicated; they were just friends with benefits. Because of this, they have to meet often.
 Will they become more than just friends with benefits this time?
 They will face obstacles, trials, and the hidden truths that have been kept from them all along.
 A romance, action, and mystery story where every wrong move could cost them their lives.

"Why do we have to be like this?" Raul suddenly asked. Starley glared at Raul with sharp eyes.
 "What do you mean? I don't understand," Starley replied coldly. Then, she quickly broke eye contact with Raul's dark eyes.
 "You know what I mean, cupcake," Raul said in a low voice. Starley tried to look unaffected by Raul's nickname, even though her heart was beating much faster than usual.
 "No, I don’t understand."
 Starley flinched slightly when she felt Raul’s warm hand on her elbow. It was like he was holding her back from running away again. Finally, Starley looked back at Raul with a neutral expression.
 "Mr. Blackwell, I’ve told you, I have a boyfriend," Starley replied.
 She was lying; she didn’t have a boyfriend. But she had to say it to push Raul away. Otherwise, she knew her defenses would crumble at any moment.
 Raul squinted his eyes and said, "Then where is your boyfriend? I’ve never seen him."
 "He’s out of town," Starley replied. Raul raised an eyebrow and smirked.
 "So, you’re in a long-distance relationship?" Raul asked, walking closer to Starley.
 Starley didn’t back down. She lifted her chin and stared at Raul, "Do you have a problem with that?"
 This time, Raul’s smirk resembled a devilishly handsome smile, "Oh no, that’s actually good news, isn’t it?"
 Starley narrowed her eyes and said, "You already know, you and I can never happen again."
 "As long as he’s not your husband, I think anything is possible, cupcake."
 Starley knew Raul didn’t mean it that way. All their history would repeat itself.
 We were not meant to be together, Starley thought.
 "Don’t you hate me?" Starley suddenly asked. After the question left her lips, Raul’s face tensed, and he released his grip on Starley’s elbow.
 Raul’s gaze now was darker than usual as he replied, "Yes, and you hate me too."
 Starley didn’t answer because Raul already knew the answer. There was a brief silence before Raul spoke again.
 "But you know, there’s a fine line between love and hate. And both make you unable to stop thinking about me, Starley," Raul whispered.
 Starley held her breath. After all this time, she had kept her distance; why now did she have to work with this dangerous man? Dangerous for her heart.
