Shantel Hale has spent her life trying to live above the dark shadows her mother’s reputation cast over her. 

She has seen powerful men fall at Jessica Hale’s feet— the infamous seductress popularly termed the modern day ‘Jezebel’ only to be left ruined afterwards.

But unlike her sisters, who embraced their mother’s legacy to build fortunes and secure influential husbands, Shantel, the seventh and youngest daughter of Jessica Hale, had carved her own path in secret, gathering several awesome identities for herself. 

One of them was the elusive Elsa—an influential force in the corporate world, sought after by the most powerful executives. Invincible CEOs vie for her counsel, but she has consistently refused to step into the limelight while offering her services.

Meanwhile, in a desperate bid to salvage his company that was crumbling after a scandal, Richard Domango turns to Elsa, convinced that she is the only one who can save him.

Seeing that Richard had played right into her hands, Shantel will stop at nothing to demand for her pound of flesh from Richard for humiliating her in the past.

But neither is ready for the sparks that begins to fly between them, especially Richard after finding out that his saviour, whom he fell helplessly for at first sight, is none other than Shantel Hale— ‘the seventh daughter of Jezebel’ and the very woman he’d felt nothing but blatant disdain for all his life. 

Will they allow their past to chart a vengeful path for them, or give in to the all consuming attraction   growing between them in leaps and bounds by the day?

The staff was already shaking like a leaf. He couldn't even speak as he stared at the ground.


"Since you chose to disobey me, consider yourself fired… And if anyone dares to hire you in the entire Rovencia, I will make sure their entire brand never sees the inside of any Domango-affiliated venue again."


The staff dropped down to his knees instantly, holding onto Shantel's legs.


"Please, Ms Hale. Spare me. This is my only source of livelihood. How will I ever eat or take care of my siblings? We're orphans and have no one else to turn to. My three siblings all depend on me as the eldest for survival. We will all die of hunger if I am kicked out of work not to talk of finding work anywhere. Please pardon me."


Then Richard turned fully to Monica. "You're done here."
