Billionaire Bentley's runaway princess
On the night of her 23rd birthday, Nova's world shatters when she learns that her father has arranged her engagement without her consent to Henry, the heir of a billionaire family, a man she barely knows. Feeling trapped and betrayed, she makes a desperate escape, running from the life that others have chosen for her.
With her father’s guards closing in, Nova takes a chance and slips into the first car she finds outside the mansion. But her gamble lands her face-to-face with Bentley Sterling, the cold and enigmatic CEO of Sterling Incorporation, a man notorious for his indifference to emotional attachments.
Bentley has no interest in saving a runaway heiress, but when Nova offers a bold proposition, her personal services in exchange for his protection, he reluctantly agrees. As his live-in assistant, she endures his impossible demands and distant demeanor, but beneath his ruthless exterior, something unexpected begins to unravel.
What starts as a transaction turns into something deeper, something Bentley wanted; desire, vulnerability, and a love he doesn't know how to handle. Will Bentley and Nova fight for their love or we will they allow external forces tear them apart?

I have no idea. It looks easy in the video, but somehow it’s feeling more like a chemistry experiment.”They both laughed, hitting each other playfully as they continued watching the video.Chloe added the scallions to the pot, glancing at Nova with a

The room was bathed in a faint blue glow from the screen, casting long shadows across the walls lined with bookshelves. Papers, files, and coffee cups were scattered across his mahogany desk, evidence of the long hours he had spent grappling with the complications that had arisen over the past week.Nova had gone to Franco and Chloe’s place, a decision Bentley had made to give her a break from the chaos and to allow himself some space to process the tangled mess they were embroiled in.

The city pulsed with life, its vibrant energy echoing through the narrow alleyways and across the wide plazas. It was a place where the old world met the new, where centuries-old buildings stood beside modern constructions, and where traditions mingled with contemporary lifestyles.In a dimly lit apartment on the outskirts of the city, Lucia, Franco's mother, swayed to the rhythm of her favorite song, a sultry flamenco number that filled the room with its passionate beats. She held a cigarette between her fingers, taking a long drag before exhaling the smoke in a slow, deliberate stream. The air was thick with the scent of tobacco, mingling with the faint aroma of old leather and wine that permeated the room.Lucia's apartment was a reflection of her life—cluttered yet organized, with an air of decadence that clung to

Expecting a neighbor or perhaps a delivery, she casually opened the door, only to freeze in surprise. Standing before her, dressed in an elegant but slightly dated outfit, was Lucia, Franco's mother. The same woman who had appeared unannounced earlier was now back, her expression unreadable behind large, dark sunglasses.Despite the shock, Chloe managed to smile politely.

It was one of those rare mornings where neither Franco nor Chloe had anywhere else to be, a quiet day reserved just for them. They had planned to spend it cleaning the house—an activity that, while mundane and exhausting, felt different when they were together.Franco had started with the windows, humming softly to himself as he worked. Chloe, on the other hand, was in charge of the floors, moving the mop back and forth with a certain rhythm, her focus more on watching Franco than the task at hand. She admired how the sunlight made his dark hair shine, the way his muscles moved under his shirt as he wiped the glass.But as she watched, a mischievous thought crossed her mind.
