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 door burst open then, and one of the field officers rushed in, his expression grim.


"Boss, you need to see this, it's— " he suddenly stopped when he noticed something different, then froze at the sight of the mysterious woman in the room


"That's the boss," Zephyr introduced. "Whatever you need to say, you can say it in her presence."


"Ms— Ms Vale," the poor man stammered. He's been hearing about the mysterious lady boss but hadn't had the good fortune of meeting her. 


So this was her? Even with a mask on, her stunning features could not be concealed. As a matter of fact, they seemed to be enhanced. But why did she look so young? Barely in her thirties.


"Kent?" Zephyr prompted, grounding him.


"I—I'm sorry. The— I mean, you should come and see. It's outside."


"Lead the way," Shantel ordered without a second thought.


The young man nodded and led them outside and headed towards the eastern section of the site.
