What began as a convenient, emotionless arrangement has swerved into a complicated mess as dark secrets, power and true love collide. A work obsessed billionaire, Rowan Randall, experiences what it really means to 'not know what you've got until you lose it' after his arranged wife, Maya, leaves when their happy marriage facade becomes too unbearable to keep up with. Maya believes that whether or not they had drawn up a contract on what they should and shouldn't do in public, she deserved happiness in the marriage and so after being treated like a stranger for over two years, she decides that remaining in the marriage is not worth it, especially now that Rowan's old friend resurfaces with a suspicious pregnancy! Maya doesn't believe that it's a mere coincidence and despite the huge loss she would have to face, she damns the consequences and finally leaves… but things only get more complicated. When Rowan notices that Maya has left an indelible mark on him and realizes he can't even breathe properly without her, he craves to have her back, but as he sets out to do so, he's now faced with a long-time rival, Cash Walter, an affluent asshole (his words, not mine) who passionately wants Maya as well. Things get more twisted…does Maya's adopted older brother seem to be falling for her too? With all the odds they're both facing will they be able to overcome their past mistakes, accept their dark secrets and fix their trust issues in order to rebuild their lost relationship? Who will Maya eventually settle with? The one who once scorned her or the one who loves her with everything in him? Or will the foul and cunning play of the antagonistic figures keep them apart forever? Perhaps it wasn't meant to be…

He stared into my eyes intensely with an icy glare, but I stood my ground, refusing to be intimidated. "I already answered you in this topic, and I don't want to talk about it again. Get me my cup of coffee, or you'd be penalised!".... .....I swallowed the lump in my throat, trembling slightly af the dangerous glare in his eyes. "I want to leave." He stared intensely at me again before saying the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard in my life. "I could offer you another job," he started, his fingers grazing his chin as he drank in my appearance from head to toe, his eyes cold and calculating.
