"No, I don't." He opened his bedside drawer and pulled out a classy looking gun. "Take this. I might be busy with a couple of business associates. You have my permission to shoot any motherfuker that pisses you off."

Ugo Chike, a gorgeous successful lawyer from Fairview, did not see marriage as a necessity. Unless, of course, it has to be with a man that ticks all the right boxes.

But when she took up a court case that had the Mafia written all over it, she ended up on the bad side of some people that wanted her dead.

After a few attempts on her life, Ugo decided to take a break and visit home only to find out that the people she was running from were already at her home, messing up with her family and the only way to save herself and her loved ones was to agree to an arrangement that might destroy her.
