"Sarah… I know you don’t like that I’m a Van Driscoll,” he said. “But honestly… I don’t either.” He stepped even closer. “I love you.” Those words hit Sarah like a wave. Her knees almost gave out. “Give me a chance,” he continued gently, lifting her chin with his hand. She looked away. “Being a Van Driscoll won’t change anything between us. I promise.” He meant it. He would throw away that name if it meant being with her. “Let’s date,” he whispered. His thumb stroked her cheek. Sarah’s eyes slowly met his. Her chest felt tight. “Please,” he said, voice soft. “I promise to always make you happy.” After the death of billionaire tycoon Robert Van Driscoll, his final will leaves behind chaos. His three estranged sons—Leo, Jace, and Luca—must run the family company together for one year or lose everything. Leo feels betrayed after dedicating his life to the business. Jace wants nothing to do with the family. And Luca? He just wants to be free. They clash, resist, and nearly walk away. But when outside enemies begin to threaten the empire, the brothers have no choice but to unite. As they fight for control, each of them faces personal battles—old wounds, painful sacrifices, and unexpected love. Leo is haunted by a past relationship he never truly let go. Jace finds himself drawn to a woman who challenges everything he’s buried. And Luca? He falls for someone who refuses to be tamed. In the end, it’s not just about saving the company... it’s about healing, brotherhood, and risking everything for the kind of love that refuses to be bought. Written by: Terasomdi || Ogwu Kosiso
