Being a billionaire and having good looks are not guarantees that Nicholas Alistair's love story will unfold smoothly. Feeling very disappointed because his previous fiancée had betrayed him, Nicholas closed himself off and acted aloof. He believed that women were creatures to be avoided. However, this caught the attention of an assistant named Kimberly. She, who had just taken up the position of Nicholas's private assistant, harbored a secret love. The cool and indifferent attitude displayed by Nicholas posed a significant challenge for the young woman in her quest to win her boss's heart. Can Kimberly, a young woman full of secrets, thaw Nicholas's heart as effectively as the ice in Antarctica?"
"Nick, I'm very sure that Briana is really cheating."
Nicholas looked up, a look of surprise clearly evident on his handsome face. But he still tried to remain calm in response to his friend's statement.
"What nonsense is this, Ken? Did you see it yourself?"
Kenzi shook his head slowly. It wasn't him who witnessed the incident directly.
"But I can prove what I just said."
Seconds later, Kenzi handed over his phone, intending to show something to Nicholas. Something that made him truly breathless.
Clear in Nicholas's eyes, a photo of a man and a woman passionately kissing. Unfortunately, he recognized the woman as Briana, and the man as her lover's manager.
"Briana clearly betrayed you, Nick. Are you sure you still want to marry her?" Kenzi asked to confirm.
Nicholas grumbled in frustration, trying to deny all the information his friend had provided. So, in order to prove everything Kenzi was saying, Nicholas, who was on a business trip to Amsterdam, decided to return to London immediately.

Nicholas Alistair was indeed in a serious relationship with Briana Roland, who worked as a famous model. They were even engaged and were about to get married in a few weeks.
Upon arriving at London Heathrow International Airport, Nicholas immediately accelerated his car at an above-average speed, cutting through the streets of London towards an upscale apartment in the city center.
When he arrived, Nicholas, in a hurry, made his way to the apartment unit Briana had been occupying. Placing his finger on the key sensor, the apartment door finally opened.
Nicholas was a bit confused when he found the entire room in darkness, with only the light in Briana's room still shining.
"Oh, God... I love the way you satisfy me, Honey. You've never once disappointed me."
"I can even give you more than this."
From Briana's room, Nicholas faintly heard the sounds of a woman and a man moaning and whispering to each other. Filled with curiosity, Nicholas opened the bedroom door, which, to his surprise, was not locked from the inside. He was shocked beyond belief when he found his fiancée intimately entangled with another man, completely unclothed.
Realizing Nicholas's presence, Briana, still panting heavily, tried to speak. "Oh my God, Nick, wh-what are you doing here?" Briana widened her eyes in astonishment, pulling the sheets to cover her bare body.
"What am I doing? I should be the one asking, what are you doing with that man?" Nicholas shot a piercing look at the man beside Briana.
"M-me?" Briana pointed at herself. "Of course, I'm just having some fun," she replied casually.
Nicholas chose to remain silent in his position, trying to contain the emotions that were about to explode. Even the glint in his eyes and his clenched jaw indicated that he was ready to pounce on anyone, regardless of who it was.
"I can't believe you've done this behind my back. You've truly betrayed me," Nicholas shook his head in disbelief. "I think we don't need to continue this engagement anymore. It's all clear to me now," he continued.
Rather than being anxious, Briana seemed calm, as if she had been prepared for this moment to come. "Actually, I wanted to call off our engagement a long time ago. Besides, I don't really love you, Nick. You're too busy with your work. Even during our relationship, you never once wanted to touch me," Briana retorted.
Nicholas grumbled in frustration at what he had just heard. He couldn't believe he had been in love with the wrong woman all this time.
"You think I didn't want to touch you? I just wanted to protect you, make sure my ego didn't take away your dignity. And you see that as a mistake?" Nicholas genuinely couldn't understand Briana's way of thinking.
Meanwhile, Briana herself burst into laughter upon hearing Nicholas's words.
"You're too naive, Nicholas Alistair. I'm a modern woman who also needs warmth from a partner. And you? You've acted like an old-fashioned man all along. Not to mention, you're so busy with your job that you never gave me any extra attention. I'm tired of all your antics."
Nicholas nodded in understanding and then smirked sharply at Briana.
"Alright, I'll go along with your wishes. From now on, let's end this engagement. Never show up in front of me again."
"Do you think I'll regret it? Of course not, Nick. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time." Briana approached her cheating partner, leaned in, and deliberately planted a kiss on him as if she didn't care about Nicholas's disgusted gaze.
"What are you still doing here?" Briana asked after breaking the kiss. "Just so you know, you're interrupting my lovemaking time, Nick. We have no relationship anymore, so you better leave right now," Briana openly dismissed him.
Nicholas turned around immediately. Without uttering a word, he left the apartment, leaving Briana behind with a million pieces of heartache gnawing at his soul.
