Enter Dorian Vex, a cocky billionaire human with a dangerous amount of influence, and a growing obsession with Lyra. When Lyra lies, claiming Dorian is the father of her child to shield the truth from Kael, things spiral fast. This isn’t just a second chance. It’s a game of power, pride, and passion. And someone’s going to break.

Now, Noah has returned… fiercer, more daring, and prepared to take back what he left behind: his legacy, his influence and possibly, Ace. Plunged into a chaotic office setup devised by PR, the duo must “co-lead” Sinclair Studios to salvage its deteriorating reputation. However, boardroom gatherings transform into sharp exchanges, late-night planning discussions evolve into playful confrontations, and every exchange of looks sizzles with mounting tension.

Beneath the opulence and joy, there exists a past too complex to dismiss… and a connection too volatile to withstand. Amidst plotting aides, viral controversies, and old scars that remain fresh, Ace and Noah need to determine: Will they battle for their realm united …or allow it to disintegrate once more?
