MasukDianne Blake, a strong and independent woman, faces public humiliation when she wakes up in a stranger’s bed—Roy Sinclair’s—on what should have been her wedding day. Betrayed by her ex-fiancé, Damian, and her former best friend, Chloe, Dianne is thrust into a whirlwind of scandal, heartbreak, and media scrutiny that threatens both her personal and professional life. Determined to rebuild herself, Dianne leans on her supportive sister, Maya. Meanwhile, Roy Sinclair—the dominant and intimidating billionaire whose bed she mysteriously woke up in—finds himself intrigued by her resilience. Their early encounters are tense, marked by sharp words, ego clashes, and undeniable chemistry. Slowly, a slow-burn romance begins to unfold between them. But their growing bond soon faces a greater challenge: Roy’s family. The Sinclairs, especially his mother and sister, openly reject Dianne. They view her as a scandalous outsider unworthy of Roy’s status, humiliating her during family gatherings and treating her with outright hostility. Their disapproval reopens fresh wounds for Dianne, threatening her already fragile sense of stability. The situation worsens when Damian and Chloe resurface in her professional life, attempting to sabotage her work and revive the gossip surrounding her name. The office becomes a battleground of manipulation and silent warfare. When their attacks escalate, Roy intervenes decisively—removing Damian from a major project, confronting Chloe, and making it clear that Dianne is no longer a target. Through late-night conversations, moments of unexpected vulnerability, and Roy’s unwavering support, their relationship deepens despite external pressure. Roy’s conflict with his family intensifies as he chooses Dianne over their expectations, adding emotional stakes to their journey. In the end, Dianne and Roy fully embrace their feelings for each other. Their love—born from chaos, strengthened through betrayal, and tested by family rejection—emerges powerful, passionate, and unbreakable.

The burn barely registered. He poured another. And another. The numbness helped. The silence didn’t.He tried calling her.Once. Twice.

The Sinclair estate looked different that morning—quieter, heavier, as though the walls themselves understood what the day symbolized. A soft drizzle had washed the driveway at dawn, leaving the air cold and clear, sharpening every scent, every sound.Inside the guest room, Dianne stood before the mirror, palms pressed to the wooden vanity. Her heart beat steadily—not out of fear this time, but because she knew something in her life was about to shift.And she was ready for it.She slipped into the gown Maya had sent up earlier—a deep, liquid gold with a slit that climbed mid-thigh, the fabric hugging her curves like it had been crafted solely for her body. Her curls were styled in soft waves that cascaded down her back, the front pinned to reveal the full symmetry of her face.Her skin glowed—warm, soft, and flawless—thanks to the light shimmer she dusted across her collarbone. A pair of diamond-drop earrings framed her jaw gracefully. She finished with a soft, warm-toned lipstick th
Morning light slipped softly through the large curtains, casting a pale gold glow across the room. The storm had passed, leaving behind a calm so gentle it felt unreal compared to the chaos of the previous night.Dianne woke first.For a moment, she didn’t move. She simply lay there, staring at the ceiling, aware of the steady, warm presence beside her. Roy was still asleep, turned slightly toward her but careful, even in rest, to keep a respectful space between them.His breathing was slow, calm… peaceful in a way she hadn’t seen before. Without the tension of dinner and expectation weighing on him, he looked younger—softer, almost vulnerable.Dianne studied him quietly.He really tried for me, she thought.A small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth before she rolled slowly onto her back again.Roy stirred.His lashes fluttered, and then his eyes opened—sleepy, unfocused, then widening slightly when he realized where he was and that she was awake.“Oh.” He immediately shifted, g
The dining room was enormous, with high ceilings, golden chandeliers, and a polished table that gleamed under the soft light. Dianne couldn’t help but glance around nervously, taking in the opulent setting. Every chair had been placed with precision, every plate aligned perfectly. The Sinclair family was in their element, and she felt like an intruder.Roy walked beside her, his hand lightly brushing hers, a quiet anchor amidst the intimidating grandeur.“Remember,” he whispered just before they reached the table, “we stick to the plan. Keep it simple, polite, don’t react to anything… and stay close to me.”Dianne swallowed hard and nodded, smoothing the front of her dress.They sat.Almost immediately, Mrs. Sinclair began speaking, her voice a practiced mixture of pride and control. “Roy, darling, I hope you’ve told Dianne about Karen. Such a remarkable girl. Harvard, internships, the perfect socialite, fluent in three languages… and, of course, she can play the piano beautifully.”D
