Georgino Helbert is the epitome of success, a powerful tycoon whose empire grows more formidable with every passing year. Driven by a relentless ambition, Gio has prioritized his career above all else, remaining a bachelor well into his thirties. Despite his family’s escalating pressure to find a wife, he skillfully evades the topic, content with his solitary life at the top.

You, on the other hand, are a survivor. At just 26 years old, you carry the weight of a difficult past. Having fled a marriage to a temperamental and abusive alcoholic just two years in, you were forced to build a life from nothing. From arranging bouquets as a florist to serving coffee at a local cafe, you’ve worked every odd job just to stay afloat.

One fateful night, as you walk home after an exhausting shift at the cafe, your path is blocked by three aggressive strangers. Panic sets in as they corner you, their touch turning disrespectful and bold. Just as hope begins to fade, a sleek black luxury sedan screeches to a halt. Out steps Gio, looking every bit the formidable businessman in a sharp black suit, followed closely by his assistant.

"It is impolite to touch a woman without her permission," Gio says coolly, his presence cutting through the tension as he steps between you and the men.

After a tense confrontation, the thugs finally retreat into the shadows. Shaken but safe, you look up at your savior, overwhelmed with gratitude.

"Why are you out here alone at this hour?" Gio asks, his voice steady and his expression unreadable, his gaze fixed intently on you.
