Stuck in her final semester with no clear way out, Serena is desperate. Elian Carter, her rigid and unyielding thesis advisor, has refused to approve her research for two consecutive semesters without any explanation. She's running out of time-her mother is sick, debts are piling up, and her family back home is pressuring her to marry a man she barely knows. In her desperation, Serena takes a path she never imagined: offering herself exclusively to wealthy men for quick money. But fate plays a cruel trick on her. Her first client turns out to be the very man she despises the most-Elian Carter himself. Instead of disgust or anger, Elian is intrigued. But not in the way Serena expects. He makes her a different kind of offer-not just money, but something far more dangerous: a nameless, commitment-free, boundaryless relationship. Yet, the deeper Serena gets entangled in Elian's world, the more she realizes he harbors dark secrets. About his life, about the real reason he's been holding her back, and about a past sin that could destroy them both. Caught between hatred, dependence, and a desire that blurs all lines, Serena must decide: will she continue despising Elian, or will she surrender to the dark world he's pulling her into?

Chapter 1 The Price of Desperation

Serena gripped the edge of her desk, staring blankly at the rejection mark on her thesis paper. The bold, red ink slashed across the pages like a death sentence. Rejected. Again.

Her chest tightened as she glanced at the name scrawled at the bottom-Professor Elian Carter. The man who had made her life a living hell for the past two semesters. The man who refused, without explanation, to approve her work, despite her countless revisions and desperate pleas.

Her hands curled into fists, nails digging into her palms. Why? She had followed every guideline, corrected every mistake, rewritten entire sections. And yet, here she was, back at square one.

The classroom was nearly empty now. Other students had long since left, their discussions filled with excitement over their nearing graduation. But Serena? She was stuck. Trapped in an endless cycle of submission and rejection, while time-and her hope-slowly drained away.

Her phone buzzed against the wooden desk, and she hesitated before picking it up.

Brianna: Rent's due tomorrow. Don't forget.

Serena exhaled shakily. As if she could forget. The unpaid rent, the mounting debts, her mother's medical bills-every second of her life was a ticking clock she had no way to stop. And now, with no approval from Elian Carter, her future was in limbo. No graduation. No job. No escape.

Her fingers hovered over her keyboard, an email already half-written. Another plea to Professor Carter, another desperate attempt to get him to change his mind. But she knew how this would go. He would read it-if he even bothered-and he would say the same thing.

"Your work lacks depth. Try again."

Serena shut her laptop with a sharp snap. The pressure in her chest expanded, an unbearable weight pressing down on her ribs.

Desperation was an ugly thing. It made people do things they never thought they were capable of. And Serena? She had reached her breaking point.

Her gaze flickered to the dimly lit screen of her phone, where a message thread remained open from a few days ago. A name she had been too ashamed to reply to.

Unknown Number: Serena, are you interested? The offer still stands. $3,000 for one night. No strings attached.

Her stomach twisted.

She had laughed when she first received it, appalled by the very suggestion. But now? With every door closing in on her, with every bill she couldn't pay, the offer didn't seem as outrageous as it once had.

Her hands trembled as she typed.

Serena: Where do I meet you?

Seconds passed. Then minutes.

And then, finally, a reply.

Unknown Number: Midnight. The Westchester Hotel. Room 1203.

Her heartbeat pounded in her ears. She swallowed the bile rising in her throat.

It was just one night. Just money. Just survival.

But as she stood from her chair, a deep, gnawing sense of dread settled in her bones. Because deep down, she knew-there was no coming back from this.

Leonhart Aldric never imagined his life would become entangled in the obsessive desires of a wealthy heiress. He lived a simple life, working as a private chauffeur for Vivienne Everleigh, the only daughter of a powerful business tycoon. The job wasn't his choice-it was a legacy left by his father, who had served the Everleigh family until his last breath. Out of respect for his late father, Leonhart stepped into his place. But working for the Everleighs was far from easy. Especially because of Vivienne-a spoiled, stubborn girl who was utterly fixated on him. Obsessed, relentless, and completely unwilling to accept rejection, Vivienne did everything in her power to get his attention. Leonhart, however, never saw Vivienne as anything more than a pampered girl who knew nothing of the real world. He rejected every advance and ignored every flirtation with his usual cold demeanor. But the more he pulled away, the more determined Vivienne became. When Leonhart started getting close to another woman, jealousy consumed Vivienne. She couldn't accept the thought of the man she wanted falling into someone else's arms. And so, she devised a plan-using her wealth and influence to destroy any woman who dared get close to Leonhart. But beneath all her reckless actions, there was one fear she refused to acknowledge-the fear of losing Leonhart forever. And Leonhart? Would he survive in Vivienne's obsessive world, or would he walk away before it was too late?
