Desperation drives people to the brink of unthinkable choices. For James Han, the only way to save his younger brother Jason, who desperately needed surgery, was to plunge into a world he barely understood. Cash-strapped and with no one else to turn to, James took up stripping, his morality wavering against the urgent need to cover medical bills. One fateful night, his path crossed with the enigmatic and powerful CEO, Richard Harris.
Richard, drawn to James, offered him a lucrative deal for his exclusive services. Desperation left James with little choice but to accept, unaware that this decision would spiral his life into chaos. The morning after their encounter, James discovered the bitter truth: Richard had a family, making James an innocent homewrecker. Guilt-ridden and resolute, he tried to sever ties with Richard, but the CEO's sinister machinations were far from over.
Refusing to let James go, Richard resorted to blackmail, forcing him into a treacherous scheme. James was to pose as a member of a wealthy family, infiltrate the circles of the First Son, William Anderson, and gather incriminating information against his father, Wilson Anderson, the President of New Dorsey. The threat of exposure and dire consequences loomed over James, leaving him with no choice but to comply.
Reluctantly, James embarked on this dangerous mission, his every move shadowed by the threat of Richard's retribution. As he delved deeper into William Anderson's life, an unexpected connection formed between them. The lines between duty and desire blurred, complicating James's already precarious situation. Torn between his forced loyalty to Richard and his growing feelings for William, James found himself entangled in a web of deception, passion, and danger.
In this high-stakes game of power and manipulation, James must navigate the treacherous waters of deceit, love, and betrayal, all while fighting to protect his brother and his own heart. As the pressure mounts, James is forced to confront his own limits and the true cost of survival.
