In the bustling capital city known simply as Capital Z, SKY Corporation reigns supreme under the leadership of its formidable CEO, Bill Sky. From a young age, Bill was groomed by his father, Ed Sky, to take over the family business. By the time he took control after studying abroad, Bill tripled the company's profits within just two years and maintained this upward trajectory. Known for his ruthlessness in business and an unyielding pursuit of success, Bill has built a reputation that none dare challenge. To him, being first is the only option, and failure or even hesitation is not tolerated.
Bill's life revolves around work, and he views everything through the lens of business. His personal life is equally stringent; he engages in contractual sexual relationships with prominent women but forbids any romantic attachments, dedicating all his time to his career. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when his father, Ed, falls ill with a rapidly growing brain tumor. Faced with mortality, Ed insists that Bill find a wife to secure the future of the family line, giving him an ultimatum: choose a wife or have one chosen for him, with Jane Foster, the daughter of old family friends, being proposed as a potential match.
Unwilling to let his parents dictate his personal life, Bill decides to bring someone forward as a potential partner to satisfy his parents' demands without intending to pursue a genuine relationship. In search of a solution, Bill frequents 'Luxury Bar,' where he encounters a mysterious woman who kisses him passionately. This encounter leaves a lasting impression on him, both from the intensity of the kiss and the audacity of the act. The woman, later identified as Arabella Jones, is a professional makeup artist living a simple life away from the high society circles.
Arabella's life has been tumultuous recently. She discovered her father's infidelity, which shattered her idealized view of her family. Shortly after, her long-term boyfriend Jason Hansen, who she thought would be her perfect match, broke up with her upon learning that his new girlfriend was pregnant. Devastated by these betrayals, Arabella decided to start anew, renting a modest apartment and applying for a job as a makeup artist. Her life takes another unexpected turn when Bill's men come calling, summoning her to meet Bill at SKY Corporation.
During their meeting, Bill reveals that he wants Arabella to compensate for the incident at 'Luxury Bar.' Despite her initial attempts to apologize and distance herself from the situation, Bill surprises her with a proposal—to marry him. This proposition sets the stage for an intricate story of power, revenge, and possibly redemption, as Arabella finds herself entangled in the world of Capital Z's most powerful man.
