LOGINStephanie had never known the warmth of a family. Abandoned as an infant and raised in an orphanage, she watched every child around her find a home while she remained behind. Even after turning eighteen, when adoption was no longer possible, she stayed to care for the younger children, becoming the kind-hearted guardian everyone loved. With determination and faith, she eventually stepped into the world, hoping to build a life of her own. Despite her education and relentless job search, rejection followed her everywhere. After months of hardship, a church gave her a temporary job as a cleaner, allowing her to save enough money to rent a tiny apartment. Just when she believed life was beginning to improve, one desperate attempt to apply for a job at a luxurious celebrity hotel changed everything. After escaping a corrupt manager who tried to exploit her, Stephanie accidentally ran into the room of Kai Ray—the world's biggest music sensation and sole heir to a billion-dollar empire. Drugged without his knowledge at a party, Kai mistook Stephanie for someone else, leading to a night that left both their lives shattered. Determined to put the nightmare behind her, Stephanie refused Kai's money, refused publicity, and refused to ever meet him. But two months later, she discovered she was carrying his child. Haunted by guilt and desperate to take responsibility, Kai respected her wish to stay away while quietly ensuring she and their unborn baby were safe. Yet as secrets, media scandals, and painful truths threaten to expose them, the distance between them becomes harder to maintain. Can a woman who has spent her entire life longing for a family learn to trust again? And can a superstar burdened by guilt prove that love is more than fame, wealth, or regret?
