Summary

"For him, I was nothing more than the daughter of his mentor, someone he needed to protect." "For me, she was more precious than my life itself." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nariya Patel sought a modest life after losing her mother and witnessing her father's downfall. Independence became her sole desire, avoiding reliance on others and shunning the idea of seeking help. Yet, she found herself without a foothold in this unforgiving world. Alexie Ivanov, a maverick of free will, was adept at obtaining what he desired and taking what eluded him. Commanding others had become second nature, and he soared to the pinnacle of power, wealth, and connections. His life had emerged from the depths of hell when his former mentor, the man who extended a helping hand in his darkest times, appointed him as the protector of his only daughter. In a world where he could bend everyone to his will, there was one exception - her. Amidst trusts and betrayals, hidden rooms and secrets, the seemingly impossible happened - akin to tasting the forbidden fruit of paradise. Their initial animosity toward each other transformed into an enduring love. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Author's note


Dear Reader,

Greetings, and heartfelt thanks for discovering one of my literary endeavors. I want to apprise you, dear reader, that this book is crafted as a slow burn romance with themes of forbidden relations. If this genre isn’t to your liking, consider this fair warning.

Furthermore, within the pages of this story, you will encounter references to mature content, including explicit language, violence, bullying, substance abuse, gang-related activities, and an age gap.

I sincerely appreciate your engagement and, if you find my writing resonates with you, I invite you to like, follow and give your feedback to me. Explore my other works on Wattpad for more literary adventures.

Warm regards,

Mai
