Description
Noah Cartel, a once-wealthy young man who enjoyed the status of being the sole heir to the vast empire of Cartel Enterprises, now finds himself in the depths of ruin. Betrayed by those he once trusted, he has seen his wealth and influence vanish into thin air. His father, the very architect of the family's success, lies in a hospital bed. Noah's life is burdened with crippling debt, but he is resolute in his determination to rebuild and make it clear to his enemies that he is not a pawn to be manipulated. Scarlett Jules, a young and kind-hearted woman, is diligently working within her father's company while simultaneously striving to establish her own fashion enterprise. Her world takes an unexpected turn when her father reveals a long-standing promise he made to Noah's father, leading to her engagement to Noah. Scarlett yearns to live life on her own terms and fears the prospect of a loveless marriage, yet she finds herself unable to refuse her father's wishes. These two strangers, Scarlett and Noah, must now embark on a journey through life together, their paths interwoven by family obligations. As they navigate this uncharted territory, the question looms large: Will fate be kind enough to let love bloom between them?
