In the glamorous world of high society, Zander Wright stands tall as a billionaire with a checkered past. But his empire crumbles when a deadly threat emerges. Hired assassins lurk in the shadows, and rigged car bombs haunt his every step. Someone wants him dead, and they won't rest until they've succeeded. Desperate and running out of options, Zander seeks refuge with the last person he ever expected - Vadim Oblonsky. Once the closest of friends, their bond shattered by betrayal and circumstances beyond their control. Now, Vadim is a man consumed by a thirst for revenge, and his animosity towards Zander burns hotter with each passing day. Caught in a dangerous dance between love and hatred, Zander knows he's to blame for their fallen friendship. But as the noose tightens, he must confront his past, unearthing long-buried secrets and lies that have brought them to this deadly precipice. Vadim is a force to be reckoned with – a ruthless ex-convict with blonde hair and a devilish grin. He relishes the thought of carving Zander open and making him suffer. Yet, there's a flicker of the past in Vadim's eyes that hints at a love that might still smolder beneath the rage. The line between ecstasy and misery blurs like the ocean's horizon, and Zander teeters on the edge of oblivion. In a world where loyalties shift like the tides, it's sink or swim, and Zander's life is on the line. As the dark secrets and betrayals come to light, and the truth behind the lethal threat is revealed, the final question looms: Can Zander and Vadim find their way back to each other and face the menace together? Or will they drown in the depths of their shared past, lost forever to vengeance and hatred?
