Aurora Crestwood está apaixonada por seu melhor amigo Liam há dez anos. Dez anos sendo o ombro para ele chorar, sua ligação de madrugada, seu apoio emocional após cada término. Dez anos observando-o perseguir a mesma mulher tóxica que continua partindo seu coração. Quando Selena Beaumont anuncia seu noivado com outra pessoa, Aurora pensa que finalmente está livre. Mas Liam tem outros planos. Ele quer invadir o casamento, fazer uma última jogada desesperada pela mulher que nunca realmente o quis. E ele quer que Aurora o ajude a fazer isso. Contra seu bom senso, ela concorda. O que ela não espera é conhecer Kian Vance. O irmão afastado de Liam é tudo o que Liam não é — perigoso, direto e completamente desinteressado em jogar jogos. Ele também é amigo do noivo, o que o torna a maior ameaça ao plano de sabotagem. Mas quando Kian olha para Aurora, ele não vê a amiga confiável de Liam. Ele vê uma mulher que tem escondido seu verdadeiro eu por tempo demais. "Vou roubá-la de você", Kian diz ao irmão com fria certeza. Quando Kian propõe uma aposta — se o casamento desmoronar, Aurora pertencerá a ele — ela deveria ir embora. Ela deveria se concentrar em ajudar Liam a conquistar a mulher por quem ele é obcecado. Ela deveria continuar sendo a boa menina que sempre foi. Em vez disso, ela aperta a mão do próprio diabo. Agora Aurora está presa entre dois irmãos, um casamento que pode não acontecer e um homem perigoso que enxerga através de suas paredes cuidadosamente construídas. Kian promete mostrar a ela o que significa ser verdadeiramente desejada, mas seu interesse vem com um preço. Enquanto o fim de semana do casamento espirala em direção ao caos, Aurora deve decidir: continuará jogando pelo seguro ou finalmente abraçará o fogo que tem escondido?

Aurora Crestwood telah jatuh cinta pada sahabatnya Liam selama sepuluh tahun. Sepuluh tahun menjadi tempat bersandar, menerima telepon larut malam, dan memberikan dukungan emosional setiap kali dia putus cinta. Sepuluh tahun menyaksikannya mengejar wanita beracun yang sama yang terus mematahkan hatinya. Ketika Selena Beaumont mengumumkan pertunangannya dengan orang lain, Aurora berpikir dia akhirnya bebas. Tapi Liam punya rencana lain. Dia ingin menggagalkan pernikahan itu, melakukan usaha terakhir yang putus asa untuk mendapatkan wanita yang tidak pernah benar-benar menginginkannya. Dan dia ingin Aurora membantunya melakukannya. Melawan penilaian baiknya, dia setuju. Yang tidak dia duga adalah bertemu dengan Kian Vance. Saudara Liam yang terasing itu adalah segala hal yang bukan Liam—berbahaya, langsung, dan sama sekali tidak tertarik bermain-main. Dia juga teman pengantin pria, yang menjadikannya ancaman terbesar bagi rencana sabotase mereka. Tapi ketika Kian memandang Aurora, dia tidak melihat sahabat setia Liam. Dia melihat seorang wanita yang telah menyembunyikan jati dirinya terlalu lama. "Aku akan mencurinya darimu," kata Kian kepada saudaranya dengan kepastian yang dingin. Ketika Kian mengusulkan taruhan—jika pernikahan itu gagal, Aurora menjadi miliknya—dia seharusnya pergi. Dia seharusnya fokus membantu Liam mendapatkan wanita yang dia obsesikan. Dia seharusnya tetap menjadi gadis baik seperti yang selalu dia lakukan. Sebaliknya, dia berjabat tangan dengan iblis itu sendiri. Sekarang Aurora terjebak di antara dua bersaudara, pernikahan yang mungkin tidak terjadi, dan pria berbahaya yang melihat menembus dinding yang telah dia bangun dengan hati-hati. Kian berjanji untuk menunjukkan padanya apa artinya benar-benar diinginkan, tapi ketertarikannya datang dengan harga. Saat akhir pekan pernikahan bergerak menuju kekacauan, Aurora harus memutuskan: akankah dia terus bermain aman, atau akhirnya menerima api yang telah dia sembunyikan?

They were never lovers. Never promised each other anything beyond the shared responsibility of raising the most powerful, chaotic child the realms had ever seen. Lara, the infamous ex-commander with fire in her veins and mischief in her smile, walked away from war, titles, and politics—only to find herself tangled in a life she never expected. A life where she’s not the hero, not the villain, just the co-parent to a half-demon, half-Celestial whirlwind named Aliyah… and tethered, every single day, to the woman who both grounds her and keeps her at a distance. Sarisa, heir to the Celestial throne, is everything Lara is not—elegant, disciplined, devoted to duty. Once playful and soft, Sarisa has reshaped herself into something unshakable, a future queen too burdened to risk vulnerability. Especially when the court whispers that her daughter is an abomination. Especially when her mother has chosen a future and a spouse that doesn’t include Lara. They said they could raise Aliyah together. That it would be simple. No feelings. No future. Just two women bound by responsibility. But Aliyah is growing. Watching. Asking questions no child should ask with such clarity. And Lara is running out of ways to lie to herself. Because somewhere between sword lessons and bedtime stories, between stolen glances and unsaid words, Lara might have done the one thing she swore she wouldn’t. She might have fallen in love with the woman who was never meant to be hers. And Sarisa? She might already be breaking under the weight of pretending she doesn’t feel the same.

They said she died peacefully. That's what they always say, don't they? When someone slips away in a hospital bed - when the machines stop beeping, and the room goes quiet except for the sigh of grief no one dares to release. Peaceful. Like death is ever kind. I was five. Too young to understand why my mother wasn't waking up. Too small to make sense of the nurses whispering in the hallway or the way they looked at me, like I was already a problem they didn't know how to solve. Her name was Rebecca. She was twenty-five. And her blood betrayed her. They said it was cancer. Aggressive. Silent. A thief in the bloodstream. By the time they caught it, it had already taken everything. I was all she had. And when she left, I had no one. No father. No family. Just a name I couldn't pronounce, and a world I didn't belong to. The system chewed me up und spat me out. Foster homes. Group homes. Back and forth like a package No one ordered. Smiles that didn't last. Promises that broke before they were even spoken. Every time someone tried to "fix" me, I'd break first, make sure they knew I was no one's charity case. No one's second chance. Eventually they stopped trying. I got older. Quieter. I stopped waiting to be rescued and started fighting instead. Literally. Underground rings don't ask for backstories. Just fists. Blood. And that, at least, I could give them. Then one night, seventeen years into this messy life, someone knocked on my door. A stranger. Two of them, actually. His name was Marcello Mariano, a man I'd only ever heard of in headlines. CEO. Businessman. Untouchable. I knew his face from magazines. I knew his name from rumors. But I didn't know why he'd come for me. Or what kind of danger was following him. All I knew was that everything I thought I knew about my life... Was a lie. And now the weight I never asked for is trying to pull me under. But I won't drown. Not again.

But the contract comes with strict conditions . No intimacy, no emotions, and no freedom. What Ava doesn’t know is that Damien has a hidden agenda. Years ago, he was destroyed by her family’s betrayal and he believes Ava played a role in that downfall. What started as a calculated move to humiliate her turns unexpectedly complicated when the woman he wants to break turns out to be stronger than he imagined. Living under the same roof, Ava quietly endures Damien’s cold stares and sharp words, facing humiliation from his staff, his social circle, and the media. But she never bends. Her quiet strength and fierce loyalty begin to unsettle him. Damien, expecting a spoiled heiress, instead finds a woman with fire buried beneath the ashes of her broken life. As Damien plays puppet master, controlling parts of Ava’s life from behind the scenes, Ava begins to uncover pieces of the past — the truth behind her father’s fall, and Damien’s connection to it. Meanwhile, Ava’s ex-fiancé resurfaces, hoping to exploit her vulnerability again. But this time, Damien intervenes, destroying the man publicly in a savage business move that stuns everyone. Ava, tired of being controlled, begins to fight back. She focuses on building something of her own — perhaps a fashion brand, legal service, or business startup — proving she’s not just a pawn in a man’s world. Her newfound independence draws attention, and even Damien starts seeing her as an equal rather than a tool for revenge. But as their icy dynamic begins to melt, one stolen kiss, one accidental moment of vulnerability, sparks something far more dangerous than hatred. Desire. Their passion simmers beneath the surface as both try to pretend it means nothing. But Damien is losing control. His long-held anger starts to unravel as he realizes Ava may have been innocent all along. When the truth finally surfaces that Ava was manipulated just like him , the weight of his guilt crushes him. Ava, devastated by his betrayal and manipulation, leaves him. Without her, Damien crumbles. For the first time, he’s forced to confront his own demons, the pain of the past, the lies he believed, and the woman he pushed away. Meanwhile, Ava begins investigating her father's death in earnest, uncovering a darker conspiracy that links back to the real person who destroyed both their families. When this hidden enemy targets Ava directly, Damien risks everything to save her. Together, they expose the truth, reclaim what was stolen from them, and take revenge on the ones who once broke them. In the end, Ava’s brother is saved, her business thrives, and she no longer needs a man to survive. But when Damien asks her to marry him again , this time without a contract , Ava makes her own choice. She chooses him not out of desperation, but out of love. Their story closes with redemption, healing, and a future built not on revenge, but on hard-earned trust and desire. Perhaps with a wedding vow renewal, a pregnancy reveal, or a quiet moment of peace between two once-broken souls who now belong only to each other.
