John David Yao was born into a life of limitless privilege, wealth, and power. As the heir to a global empire of luxury hotels, banks, and resorts, he’s accustomed to having everything he desires with a mere snap of his fingers. Handsome, charming, and notoriously indulgent, John David’s world revolves around parties, travel, and fleeting pleasures. Responsibility and commitment? He leaves those to others, confident that life always bends to his will.
Until he meets Cassandra “Cassie” Rodriguez.
Cassie is unlike anyone he’s ever known. An employee at the Liora Grand Hotel, one of his family’s prized businesses, she is independent, straightforward, and fiercely principled. Money, influence, or charm cannot sway her. Lavish gifts are ignored. Flattering smiles bounce off her like rain. Daily attempts to win her over meet only honesty, defiance, and an unshakable resolve. Where most women would surrender to his wealth or status, Cassie stands her ground, and suddenly, John David finds himself obsessed.
For the first time, getting what he wants won’t come easily and obsession proves far more dangerous than he expected.
Determined to win her heart or at least her time John David devises a plan no one could refuse: ten million pesos for one week by his side. No strings. No questions.
But what begins as a calculated game of money, power, and temptation quickly turns into a battle of wills and hearts neither of them anticipated. As lines between desire and vulnerability blur, John David must confront a truth he has never faced: even a man with everything can meet someone he cannot conquer. And Cassie must decide whether she can resist temptation or surrender to a connection that defies every expectation.
In a world where every desire seems purchasable, love, trust, and choice remain priceless.
