Alexa tidak pernah menyangka, jika sang papa akan menjodohkannya dengan lelaki yang lebih tua lima belas tahun darinya. Ia seorang CEO yang dingin dan angkuh. Impiannya untuk menjadi seorang novelis terkenal kandas, juga cita-citanya untuk bisa masuk Universitas Sastra di Paris gagal. Namun, Alexa tak pernah menyangka, jika lelaki yang telah sah menjadi suaminya itu juga terpaksa menerima perjodohan yang disepakati kedua orang tuanya, sehingga ia menyuruh Alexa mengejar impiannya ke Paris, dengan biaya yang ditanggung olehnya. Mungkin saja perpisahan sementara itu akan membuat mereka merasa terbebas, karena tidak lagi terkekang. Namun, bagaimana jika takdir mempertemukan kembali dan menghadirkan rasa yang berbeda di hati mereka?

How could someone possibly love someone with doubt and secrets? Paris Felicity Rivera lost her memories, yet she didn’t cared. Sapat na sa kanya ang masasakit na pinagdaanan sa puder ng kanyang ama at ng pamilya nito. Her father would almost auction her hand for marriage to different bachelors, and all she wished was to get out of that life. At sa kabaliwang iyon, alam niyang wala na siyang takas. Thus, she decided that if she had to get married to Chester Del Fuego, she will have the decision regarding her body. And she’d give it to the man he loved the most; Chancellor. But… did she really? For Chancellor was a Del Fuego too, and he had the same face as his two other brothers. He had the same exact face as Chester, the man Paris was supposed to marry.

At the contract-signing meeting, a major client casually asks our new technician if she can handle her alcohol. She immediately pours a glass of red wine over his head and says coolly, "This sort of socializing is a bad habit. I'm putting an end to it." Leon Langley, a top client who brings the company 300 million dollars in annual revenue, flies into a rage and tears up the contract on the spot. As the project lead, I bend over backward to apologize and drink with Mr. Langley until I'm hospitalized with gastric bleeding—just to salvage the deal. When I report the incident to my boss, he scolds me instead. "As the person in charge, you nearly ruined the project. Forget the three-million-dollar commission we planned to give you. Consider this a warning." After that, I put Hannah Storrie's name on the department's downsizing review list. She sneers. "I'm a top talent the boss poached at great expense. I'm not some cheap hostess who survives by smiling and drinking like you. "Firing me would be throwing the company down the drain. When that happens, you'll be begging me to come back." I ignore her. However, when the review period ends, the name on the layoff list turns out to be mine. My boss seizes the opportunity to announce that Hannah will replace me as the new sales director. "Clients are extremely important to us. You don't seriously think you're capable of landing them, do you? "Hannah's is more qualified, more tech-savvy, and prettier than you. She's clearly the better choice." I simply smile, turn around, and dial a number.

Elizabeth Adams has never made room for love. At twenty-nine, she believes success comes first and feelings only complicate the future she’s worked so hard to build. But in Paris—after a failed blind date and a moment of unexpected vulnerability—Elizabeth meets a woman who makes her forget every rule she’s ever lived by. Their connection is instant, electric, and deeply intimate. One night. Two women. A memory that refuses to fade. When a small lie shatters the illusion, Elizabeth leaves Paris convinced it was a beautiful mistake she’ll never repeat. Back in South Africa, she tries to move on—until the woman she left behind shows up, carrying the same longing Elizabeth can no longer deny. As their bond deepens, a devastating truth is revealed: the woman Elizabeth loves is her mother’s long-lost first love. Caught between desire and loyalty, Elizabeth must decide whether love is worth breaking her own heart—or her mother’s.
