Cheated on by her fiancé weeks before their wedding, Sara, vowed to never love again. Men could not be trusted, especially with a woman's heart. She had made the mistake once, and that was more than enough for her. Never again would she make the same mistake to give her heart to another. But her resolve began to waver when she came across her new boss, Alexander Legend, a man whose reputation in his expertise and ruthlessness in business preceded him. Respected and feared by many, but to Sara, he was an annoying pest she wished she never met. Too persisted for her liking yet, she finds herself falling, slowly melting in his presence. Getting used to his stolen kisses and hugs and sometimes anticipating them. °°°°° Excerpts “You will fall for me, Sara. One day, I'll have your heart too,” Alex drawled. His voice had a seductive allure that had her heart racing. The fact that his hand was leisurely resting around her waist didn't help her either. “Try as much as you want to,” despite her body begging for his touch, Sara was determined to reject him today and any other day. She couldn't make the same mistake again. “You won't succeed in your seduction. NOT NOW. NOT EVER.” Alex smirked, kissed behind her ear and her body trembled, much to his satisfaction. That was all he needed to keep purising the stubborn woman in his arms right now. “We shall see, Miss Ambrose,” he cooed and then released her. He returned to his seat and asked in a professional tone. “What is my schedule for today?”

Ketika kekasihnya, Cecilia, seorang jurnalis investigasi yang berusaha mengungkapkan kejahatan-kejahatan ini, dibunuh oleh tangan-tangan kekuasaan, Felza memutuskan untuk membalas dendam. Dengan identitas baru sebagai Avisev, Felza memulai pertempuran tanpa ampun melawan sistem yang telah menghancurkan hidup orang-orang yang ia cintai.

Dalam perjalanan ini, Felza dan Nayla berhadapan langsung—dua hacker dengan tujuan yang berbeda namun dengan keterampilan yang sebanding. Felza berusaha mengungkap kejahatan yang telah merusak negara, sementara Nayla berjuang untuk menegakkan hukum yang ada, meskipun hukum itu tampaknya hanya menguntungkan mereka yang berkuasa. Seiring berjalannya waktu, Nayla mulai mempertanyakan kesetiaannya pada negara, sementara Felza harus memilih antara melanjutkan misinya untuk mengungkap kebenaran atau menghadapi kenyataan bahwa perlawanan ini bisa memusnahkan dirinya dan orang-orang yang ia cintai.
