Kira Marie Javier is a cheerful, clumsy, and hardworking medical student at Cloudcrest International College. To everyone, she seems bright and sweet. But inside, she is struggling and drowning in debt. Her scholarship only pays for 90% of her school fees. Ever since her father died of severe colon cancer, their family has been buried in loans. Her mother, Elena, works day and night as a pharmacist, but she barely earns enough to pay for rent, food, and bills. With her ten-year-old brother, Raven, still in school, Kira works two jobs just to survive: she works at a fast-food restaurant at night and tutors students on weekends. One night, past 10:00 PM, Kira walks home alone through a quiet, dark alley. Her heart races when a tall man suddenly stumbles toward her. She smells blood-strong and metallic-not alcohol. Under the dim streetlight, she sees the truth: the man is dying. And strangely, he does not want her to call for help or an ambulance. "Please... don't call anyone. Just help me." Kira is training to be a doctor. She cannot just leave him there to die. So, she brings the stranger home and saves his life with her own hands.

To the world, Kaizer is a rich, smart, and cold billionaire CEO and engineer. His company, Ashford Corporation, is just a cover for his secret life. But there is a strict rule in his father's will: He must get married, or he will lose half his money and control of his company. If he fails, all his wealth will be given away to charity. Kira saved his life. Now, he plans to make her his. What starts as a kind act quickly pulls Kira into a dark world of secrets, blood, and power she never asked for. Soon, the dangerous stranger she helped will become her husband-and her biggest danger.
