Ashley Dawson, a brilliant 22-year-old chemistry student, has lived a quiet life defined by loss and independence. Though she secretly owns a massive pharmaceutical empire inherited from her late mother and grandmother, Ashley prefers the simplicity of her lab over boardrooms and business deals. Her fiancé, Harvey West-a wealthy, charismatic CEO-was once her dream man, but their love story shatters the day before their wedding when Harvey asks for an open marriage and an NDA to protect his affairs. Heartbroken, Ashley is pulled into a dangerous new world when a domestic terror group develops a deadly chemical weapon. The military calls in Major Nathan Ford, Harvey's cousin and a decorated U.S. Army Special Forces officer, to lead the operation. Nathan needs a brilliant chemist to help decipher the weapon's formula-Ashley becomes that civilian consultant. Forced to work together under high pressure, Ashley and Nathan build an unlikely partnership, discovering strength, trust, and a slow-burning attraction. Meanwhile, Harvey refuses to let go, flaunting his mistress in public and humiliating Ashley. When Ashley finally breaks off the engagement, Harvey spirals, convinced Nathan stole her away. Nathan proposes a marriage of protection, offering her his name and his shield against Harvey and his powerful family. Ashley, tired of being powerless and cornered, agrees. Their whirlwind marriage shocks society, ignites scandal, and sets the stage for a passionate love story built on loyalty, respect, and redemption.

After our company's IPO approval is granted, my boyfriend, Derek Calloway, finally agrees to publicize our relationship at the celebratory banquet. Derek and I have been in a relationship for seven years. For so long, he refuses to make our relationship official. He always cites the fact that office romance is forbidden in the company, and that he, as the CEO, should follow through as a prime example. On the night of the banquet, I wait for the news to be broken with bated breath and unadulterated delight. But when Derek stands on the stage, he chooses to utter the name of the new recruit who has just joined the company for two months—Jocelyn Grant. "It's all thanks to Jocelyn's contributions to the project that our company gets to go public. She's the MVP of our company." I just stand beneath the stage, completely stunned. For a moment, I don't know how to react. I'm the main person in charge of that project, and I'm the one who's contributed the most to that project. Not only have I stayed up countless nights working hard on it, but I also got hospitalized a few times because of it. Soon, I receive Derek's text message. "Jocelyn has just joined this line of work. She needs a project to help spruce her resume up. Just let her receive the credits this once. "We'll discuss more on publicizing our relationship in the future." I can only grip my phone so tightly that my fingertips go white. Finally, I key in one word. "Okay." Jocelyn can have the project. She can also have my position as the director. Heck, she's free to have Derek, my now ex-boyfriend. I'd like to see how these assholes can pass the subsequent trials without me.

I worked tirelessly to secure a major project with the design institute, but my husband fabricated lies out of nowhere, claiming I was dragging the company down. He handed the credit for my work to his first love. Instead of getting angry, I laughed and gave my position as the company's Design Director to his precious first love too. "Working on projects all the time is exhausting. Why don't I just make you the company's Design Director instead?" Every single colleague thought I'd lost my mind, but nobody knew the project could only succeed because of my unique design style and my connections. Without me, the project would not just fail. The entire company would collapse.

Before my crazy grandmother died, she gave me three walnuts. According to her last wish, I cracked open the first walnut on my twenty-fifth birthday. Inside the walnut was a slip of paper. 'Go to the skybridge and grovel at the first beggar you meet' was the instruction written on it. When I looked at the note, I could feel my cheeks burning with embarrassment. Still, I did as told. To my surprise, the beggar turned out to be an undercover cop. Only later did I learn that I had long been targeted by human traffickers, and the bow had saved my life. As for the second walnut, my grandmother told me to crack it open before I got married. When I put on my wedding dress, ready to marry the policeman who saved me, I happily opened it. This time, there was a crumpled old photograph inside. In the photo, my fiancé was smiling as he strangled another bride.

Livia dan Raka saling membenci sejak awal. Bagi Livia, Raka adalah pria yang membunuh ayahnya. Sedangkan bagi Raka, Livia hanyalah kelemahan berbahaya yang bisa menghancurkan kekuasaannya. Namun takdir memaksa mereka berada di bawah atap yang sama, bukan sebagai pasangan, melainkan sebagai tawanan dan pemilik. Tujuan hidup mereka berlawanan. Livia ingin bertahan hidup sambil menunggu kesempatan membalas dendam. Sementara Raka ingin menjaga Livia tetap hidup demi rahasia besar yang ia bawa, sekaligus menjadikannya umpan untuk musuh-musuhnya. Karena ancaman dari dunia luar, Raka menetapkan satu keputusan mutlak bahwa Livia harus tinggal di bawah perlindungannya selama waktu tertentu, mengikuti semua aturannya, dan tidak pernah keluar dari jangkauan pengawasannya. Selama hidup bersama, konflik tak terhindarkan. Pertengkaran, kebencian, dan ketegangan terus terjadi. Namun di balik itu, Livia mulai melihat sisi Raka yang tidak ia duga, berupa perlindungan tanpa pamrih, kemarahan yang muncul karena takut kehilangan, dan kesetiaan mematikan pada orang yang ia anggap miliknya. Tanpa disadari, kebencian mereka mulai goyah. Kehadiran satu sama lain menjadi candu yang berbahaya. Livia membenci dirinya sendiri karena merasa aman di sisi musuhnya, sementara Raka kehilangan kendali karena mulai mencintai wanita yang seharusnya hanya ia manfaatkan. Ketika kebenaran tentang kematian ayah Livia terungkap, perjanjian perlindungan itu harus berakhir. Livia diberi pilihan untuk pergi dan bebas. Raka dipaksa melepaskan satu-satunya hal yang mampu meluluhkan hatinya. Namun saat mereka berpisah dan menjalani hidup masing-masing, satu hal menjadi jelas, bahwa Dunia tanpa satu sama lain terasa jauh lebih kejam. Di tengah perang terakhir dan ancaman kematian, mereka memilih untuk saling mengejar... bukan sebagai musuh, bukan sebagai pemilik dan tawanan, melainkan sebagai dua orang yang memilih untuk tetap bersama, meski dunia menentang. Karena bagi mereka, cinta yang lahir dari kebencian mungkin berbahaya, akan tetapi kehilangannya jauh lebih mematikan.
