He stirred beside her. She pulled closer to him. Wanting to mold into him and never let go. But there was so many odds against them. Everything was so wrong, yet so right. "We need to stop." She whispered to him. That was the voice of reason. They can't keep playing this game. No one would win, rather they would both get hurt. His breath caressed her face as he pulled her closer to him. There was no more space between them, yet they felt so far apart from each other. Wanting more. Needing more. "How do we do that? The heart wants what it wants!" His voice was rough and taut with raw emotions. He was right, but in their case they need to ignore their hearts. Their hearts had brought them this far, it can't go on. A lot was at stake. "We'll learn, Lazar. This can never be." Her heart was breaking. It was shattering with every word she spoke. He hugged her tighter. His breath was coming in shorts. He was also keeping his emotions in check. Unlike her, he needed to be the strong one. "I won't accept that, Marissa. Don't tell me to stop, not when you brought back meaning into my life." He hushed her, his heart beating against her skin. She spasmed and wrapped her arms around him. "How can this be? How can we fight this?" He sighed, pressing his lips against her forehead. "We don't have to fight anything. The world can burn, but I'm never letting you go." "Oh Lazar!" She cried, crushing her lips against his. Lazar accepted her with his own wanton desire, as their lips danced in their forbidden passion, her tears ran free. Maybe, she should let the world burn. After all, the world had stolen her greatest treasure from her. Giving up Lazar would be her death sentence. ***************************************** Marissa Parker, a once vibrant children's author, is now a shadow of herself-haunted by the tragic death of her three-year-old daughter, Emerald, and trapped in a cold, failing marriage with Raymond, a Lead Business Consultant. In a desperate bid to escape her grief and find peace, she takes a secret solo vacation to the remote and luxurious Bevin Island. At La Viv Resort, she meets Lazar Wolfe, a mysterious, self-made billionaire with secrets of his own. What begins as subtle flirtation quickly transforms into a magnetic connection that neither of them can ignore. Keeping their personal lives hidden, they fall into a deep, emotional affair. But when Lazar suddenly leaves after a night of passion, Marissa is left confused and torn, wrestling with guilt and feelings she had long buried. Back in Bustrov, Marissa tries to move on, only to unexpectedly come face-to-face with Lazar again-at a high-profile real estate launch where he is revealed as the reclusive CEO of Alvaron Group. Worse still, her husband Raymond is unknowingly working to close a massive deal with Lazar's company. The secrets they've kept begin to unravel. As Marissa and Lazar's affair reignites, betrayals, shocking truths, and long-buried secrets about her daughter's death begin to surface, threatening to break her completely. A near-death experience forces Marissa to confront her past and decide whether to fight for the future she truly wants or remain bound by the life she's trying to escape.
