Rong Shengsheng était horriblement persécutée par ses sœurs jumelles et jetée dans les profondeurs insondables de l'océan, suspendue à un fil entre la vie et la mort. Cinq ans plus tard, elle faisait un retour triomphal avec son adorable enfant. Le jour, elle était une modeste et peu attirante femme de ménage dans la société. La nuit, elle était une danseuse séduisante qui bouleversait le monde, pour laquelle les jeunes hommes riches de Pékin gaspillaient leur fortune. Cependant, Rong Shengsheng s'était accidentellement mis à dos le froid et impitoyable—Li Hanxian. Une nuit profonde, Li Hanxian enfonça la porte avec une nuée de gardes du corps, la coinça contre le coin du lit, sa voix profonde et glacée, "Qui t'a donné la permission d'avoir secrètement mon enfant?" Rong Shengsheng était mal à l'aise, "Que veux-tu ?" L'homme esquissa un sourire, sortit une éblouissante bague en diamant, s'agenouilla sur un genou, "Évidemment, c'est pour me marier avec moi."

Jayden, a teenager from America, moves to Mombasa to live with his grandmother and learn about the culture where he was born. Adjusting to life in a new environment, Jayden struggles with routines and expectations. His first day of school sets the stage for a dramatic encounter. After staying up all night playing video games, he wakes up late and rushes to class. On his way, he stumbles upon Ali, a fellow student, being beaten by a group of bullies. Despite being new and knowing no one, Jayden intervenes, showcasing impressive fighting skills as he takes down the attackers. Ali is shocked that someone would help him, especially since most of their schoolmates ostracize him, seeing him as a troublemaker. Jayden, however, recognizes Ali’s situation and offers him advice, urging him not to let himself be a target again. The brief but intense encounter sparks an unexpected connection between the two boys. At school, Jayden is further introduced to his classmates, including Digler, a new transfer student from Nairobi. Digler is bold, charismatic, and unapologetically confident, immediately drawing attention. He takes a seat beside Jayden and strikes up a conversation, showing interest in Jayden’s background and life in America. Digler’s casual charm hides a deeper layer of unpredictability, as he is known to have a reputation for trouble. Throughout the day, Digler’s carefree and rebellious attitude contrasts with Ali’s reserved and cautious nature. While Jayden begins to form a bond with Digler, Ali remains skeptical, warning Jayden to be careful around him. Ali’s wariness stems from his own experiences with people who exude charm but bring chaos. As the three boys navigate the dynamics of their new friendship, the story highlights their individual struggles and personalities. Jayden, still adjusting to his new environment, shows a natural ability to connect with people through his actions rather than words. Ali, who is used to being judged harshly, begins to see a glimmer of hope in the possibility of genuine friendship. Digler, meanwhile, remains an enigma, with his playful demeanor masking the potential for deeper conflicts or alliances. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Mombasa, the story explores themes of identity, trust, and belonging. Each boy brings a unique perspective shaped by their past experiences, and their interactions challenge them to confront their own assumptions and fears. Jayden’s journey from a quiet, isolated individual to someone willing to stand up for others sets the tone for a narrative that promises growth, camaraderie, and unexpected challenges ahead. With Jayden, Ali, and Digler all sharing the same classroom, their intersecting paths hint at a developing story of friendship, rivalry, and the trials of navigating life as teenagers in a culturally rich yet complicated environment.

Six years ago, Arya's life was torn apart in a devastating accident that took everything from her. Now, she lives a quiet, unassuming life in Jaipur, working at a small flower shop and trying to leave the shadows of her past behind. But peace is fragile, and the shadows are closer than she thinks. Mysterious marigolds appear at her doorstep, each one a silent reminder of something-or someone-she can't escape. The eerie feeling of being watched grows stronger every day, but Arya convinces herself it's nothing more than paranoia. Until he walks into her life again. Shiv. Once her childhood protector and the son of her father's closest friend, Shiv was a man she trusted completely. But betrayal and tragedy changed everything. Now, Shiv is a cold, ruthless figure in the underworld-powerful, calculating, and terrifyingly distant. Yet when he sees Arya, something in his hardened gaze flickers, stirring the feelings she thought had died long ago. But Shiv isn't here to rekindle the past. He has his own reasons, and none of them are kind. In a shocking twist, Shiv proposes marriage. Arya is left reeling. Why would a man who once hated her family-and perhaps still does-ask for her hand? Is it part of a twisted revenge against the sins of her father, a cruel game to make her pay for something she doesn't fully understand? Or is there something darker lurking beneath Shiv's cold exterior? As Arya is pulled deeper into Shiv's dangerous world, she must confront the secrets that bind them and the growing tension between love and vengeance. Shiv's motives remain a mystery, but one thing is clear: his intentions could either destroy her or save her from the shadows that refuse to let go.
