When Ricco Leo returns after years abroad to take over the LEO's group, he's focused on responsibility and rebuilding. Attending the group's party he unexpectedly gave his first night to a woman who was his crush – Emilia Burno. The first night of intimacy serves as a turning point where he gets closer to her as a friend thereby building a connection between them. On the second night of intimacy where Emilia finds out who he is and the family he is from, followed by a heated argument, which leads her to leave. Discovering that she was pregnant plunged her into a whirlwind of emotions. Overwhelmed by the gravity of her situation and the weight of Ricco's family name, she decides to flee, convinced that their worlds are too disparate to navigate. Fast forward five years – time has passed. Just when Emily thought she had moved on, fate intervened yet again. Their reunion is charged with unspoken feelings, love that has matured but is still highly volatile. Each moment spent together reveals a new layer while fantasizing about a future that felt impossible. Will they be able to bridge the gap created by lost years and a child he graved to be introduced to? Could love, the greatest negotiation of all, lead them to reconcile and rediscover their once-intertwined fate.

Chapter 1 The Return Of Ricco Leo

"Emilia, will you be able to come to the party that Leo's family is having tomorrow at the De Classic Hotel?" Klara asked.

"I'm not sure if I will make it", Emilia replied.

Emilia Bruno is a gracious lady, the daughter of Roberto Bruno, with a slim and attractive figure that men can't resist.

"You have to make sure to come; the heir of Leo's group will be there!" Klara exclaimed. "What is the party about, Klara?"

"It's to establish a design department in their company and to welcome their son, who has been studying abroad."

"I will check my schedule to see if I can make it tomorrow or not."

"Aria, you can come out now." She has been eavesdropping. And Aria, Emilia's stepsister, majestically walked out. "Clara, we can now prepare for tomorrow. She will see her doom," she said with evil intentions.

"I heard that Mr. Ricco, the heir of Leo's group, is coming back home today to attend the family party and to become the CEO." One of Klara's colleagues said.

"Yes, that is true. I heard it from a friend of mine."

"Why can't you two keep quiet? You're gossiping during working hours."

"We're not gossiping about anything; we're only talking to each other."

"You know the penalty for gossiping during working hours, right? So you better keep quiet."

At the entrance of De Classic Hotel- a well-known establishment for billionaires, renowned for its exquisite view and exceptional service- Mr. Ricco Leo was spotted stepping out of a Rolls-Royce Phantom, dressed in a tuxedo, with cameras flashing all around him.

"Mr. Ricco, we heard that you are the heir of Leo's group. Is that true? How old are you? Please talk to us!"

Despite the barrage of questions from reporters, Mr. Ricco ignored them and was escorted inside by his bodyguards.

"Hello, Mr. Ricco, I am Albert Benson. Nice to meet you today," Mr Robert said.

"You too," he responded.

"Klara, make sure to drug Miss Emilia's drink when she arrives."

"She's already here," Klara replied. Emilia entered wearing a stunning white dress with off-shoulder sleeves, paired with sparkling white heels.

"Welcome, stepsister!" she said.

"Thanks, Aria. Klara, please get her a drink."

"Here you go, Emilia."

"Thanks. Stepsis, I will be right back. I need to see one of my colleagues."

"Why do I feel so hot like this? Emilia asked herself.

"I'll get some water. I'm coming back."

"Okay, no problem."

"Mr. Ricco, the party is almost over, and your room has been prepared for you. Once I am inside, I don't want anyone to disturb me; I want to rest."

"Understood, boss."

"Klara, where is Emilia?"

"She went to get a drink."

"Since when?"

"Let me check the time. Oh my goodness! It has been thirty minutes since she left. I presume the drug has started taking effect. I have already arranged for someone, and now she can't be found. Let's check the rooms."

"Why am I feeling this way?" Emilia asked herself. "Let me rest in this room. Who's there?"...
