the cold start problem

By chance, she encountered trouble with this dominant bully who not only teased her but also refused to let her go. "I can give you money, please let me go!" The bully sneered wickedly and replied, "Sure." And so, from that moment on, she carried an enormous debt and cried tears of despair. "What?"

I was head over heels for Jonas Hayes, the cold and aloof scholarship student who saw me as nothing more than a walking wallet. He took my credit card but refused to let me get close. "Get lost. The sight of you and your filthy money makes me sick." Using my wealth, he showered Clara Dove, the stunning campus bella from a humble background, with luxury gifts and even threw her a lavish birthday party at the city’s most exclusive hotel. Everyone envied him, believing he was a self-made billionaire. But I didn’t care. I stayed hopelessly in love. After graduation, I poured my entire inheritance into building a life with him, convinced I could win his heart. During our honeymoon, he watched as I drowned, his voice ice-cold as he said, "Every time I think of how you used your money to control me, I wish you’d die sooner." When I woke up again, I was back in my college classroom—the day Jonas asked me to top up his card. This time, I wasn’t the desperate fool he remembered. I slapped him across the face with the card and sneered, "Even beggars know how to kneel and ask. What are you, a weed?"

Alexander Harris has always been cold and indifferent–a ruthless CEO who values power over love. Haunted by his past and allergic to a woman’s touch, he vowed never to fall for anyone—until he met Everette Carson. From the moment their paths crossed, Alexander was drawn to her in a way he couldn’t explain. When his grandmother threatens to hand over 15% of the company’s shares to his despised father unless he marries, Alexander sees an opportunity. Everette’s bold defiance intrigues him—making her the perfect candidate for a marriage of convenience. Silencing his grandmother and putting Everette in her place? It’s the perfect plan!

Everette’s warmth begins to melt the ice around his heart, stirring memories of a mysterious girl from his past—the only person who ever touched his soul.

Just as love begins to bloom, dark secrets unravel, hidden enemies rise from the shadows and betrayal strikes—determined to tear them apart. When Everette walks away, Alexander’s desperation cracks through his icy facade. "If you leave me today, you will never see me again in this lifetime!" His voice was raw, and when she didn’t stop—he pulled the trigger. The gunshot shattered the silence, but the pain that followed was far greater… After Everette left, the memory of that moment etched itself into Alexander's soul, haunting him even after six long years. Now, fate has brought her back to Summerville—to where it all started. Will their story finally have a different ending—or are they destined to fall apart once more?
