"You kissed me," she said with trembling voice. "You held me like I meant something to you. And now you’re telling me this isn’t personal?"
Kennedy’s jaw clenched. "That was a mistake."

Kennedy Walton was a powerful, untouchable CEO, still fiercely guarding his heart after his wife's tragic death.
Antonia was just his desperate new employee who accidentally vandalized his luxury car.
To repay her debt, Kennedy forced her into a twisted deal: play his fake fiancée and act completely unlikable so his meddling mother would reject her.
But the plan failed.
Terrified of his escalating feelings, the cold CEO decided to brutally push Antonia away. He ordered her to fabricate evidence of cheating, destroying her reputation just to end the charade.
He treated her like a disposable transaction.
But when Antonia finally walks away, Kennedy will realize his "mistake" is the only woman he can't live without.
Will he be able to win her back?

On her eighteenth birthday, Aurelia thought she was finally getting her fairytale.

The hottest, most desired boy in school had asked her to be his girlfriend. After weeks of persuasion—from him and even her best friend—she decided to give him the one thing she had been saving...her virginity.

But when morning comes, nothing is as it should be.

Aurelia wakes up and finds beside her a man she’s never seen before.

The memories of the night before are nothing but scattered fragments, but one thing is clear—she gave herself to the wrong man.

And the truth?

He isn’t just any stranger.

He’s her boyfriend’s father.

A man whispered about in fear. A ruthless Mafia king of the underworld. Wealthy. Powerful. Untouchable.

What happened that night?
Who is really to blame?
And why does the man she should fear the most look at her like she now belongs to him?

In a world of secrets, betrayal, and forbidden desire, Aurelia is about to learn—some mistakes don’t just ruin lives…they bind them together.
