About

Guest Vane-Tempest, now 24 years old, commands England’s corporate world as its wealthiest and most powerful prodigy, yet behind his cold facade lies a profound isolation forged by the tragic car accident that orphaned him at age 16. When 20-year-old Kika Fairchild enters his life to strike a desperate bargain—offering herself in exchange for the elite medical treatments required to save her cancer-stricken mother, Katya—Guest agrees entirely on his own strict terms, turning her desperate plea into a rigid arrangement where she must submit completely to his absolute control and unyielding demands. While Katya remains blissfully unaware, believing her daughter simply works at a local café, Kika endures her harrowing reality as both a servant and a subordinate to Guest’s dominance, keeping her true sacrifice hidden to protect her mother's fragile peace of mind. Beneath the rigid boundaries of their transaction and Guest’s unyielding control, an unexpected shift occurs as the emotional walls between them begin to blur, giving way to a hidden love that neither of them anticipated. Guest finds himself increasingly drawn to Kika's quiet resilience, while Kika begins to see past the chilling armor of the corporate tycoon to the wounded boy who survived a devastating past. As quiet glances turn into lingering touches, they remain oblivious to each other’s feelings, trapped behind their respective fears and the heavy secrets tethering them together. Will either of them make the first move to confess their feelings, or will their unspoken emotions remain trapped in the shadows of their arrangement?
