To outsiders, Aileen was the adopted daughter of the Jefferson family, dismissed and scorned by all. Yet, in the underground racing world, she thrived as the dark rose, savoring the thrill and speed of night races. But her life took a new turn when Derek returned home, leading to a passionate night that diverted Aileen from the Jefferson family's path. Derek, the ruthless heir to the Jefferson legacy, tactfully steered the family's ambitions. Despite his control, he found himself captivated by Aileen-his adopted sister, business partner, and an exceptional racer-drawn to her enigmatic allure.

"I helped you stay out of trouble. How do you plan to thank me?" asked Aileen Bradley.
In the dance of shadows and light, two figures were wrapped in each other on silk sheets.
Aileen felt the warmth of the man's large hand as it lifted her waist, and she bit her lip to maintain her calm.
"Trouble?" the man groaned, his voice rough. "I thought you were the trouble."
Aileen, filled with anger, bit down hard on his finger. "Derek! You're being unfair! You were the one drugged, and I came to rescue you!"
Derek Jefferson didn't react angrily to the bite; instead, he chuckled. "You no longer see me as your brother, do you?"
Brother?
What kind of siblings were they?
Aileen's mother was the Jefferson family's servant, and her father was their driver.
Later, when Rosalie Jefferson, Derek's little sister, was kidnapped and went missing, Derek's grandmother, Gretchen Jefferson, was devastated. Aileen's parents sent her to keep Gretchen company, and she was taken in by Derek's parents as an adopted daughter.
Over the years, the Jefferson family never truly accepted Aileen as their family. They treated her more like a pet of Gretchen's.
She received a lot of "charity" from the Jefferson family, but no one ever asked if she wanted it.
Her parents were money-minded, and she had a weak younger brother who depended on her.
In contrast, Derek was a graduate of Klaedon University's business school and the recognized heir of the Jefferson family.
Caught between her own family and the Jeffersons, Aileen felt cornered. After years of hardship, she had no option but to lean on Derek for support.
Aileen had heard rumors that someone was planning to entrap Derek, hoping to seduce him and secure a future as the wife of the Jefferson family heir.
Considering her circumstances, she decided to use this opportunity to gain Derek's favor and find a path for herself.
However, ending up as Derek's one-night stand was never part of her plan.
Aileen initially intended to warn him, hoping to earn a favor in return, but she hadn't anticipated Derek's overwhelming lust leading them straight to bed.
After sacrificing her dignity to help him, Aileen was determined to make Derek compensate her.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she suppressed her sorrow and looked at Derek. "I've teamed up with a friend to start a company. Could you allow us to participate in the bidding for the Genesis Plaza project?"
"No." Derek dismissed her request without hesitation.
Aileen was stunned.
She couldn't understand how this man, so passionate in bed, could be so cold and dismissive in conversation.
She clenched her teeth. "It's just an entry to a bidding event. You've slept with me, yet you can't even grant me something so little?"
Derek's passion had faded, and he quickly pulled away and rose from the bed.
He slipped into his pants, picked up his shirt from the floor, and buttoned it methodically.
He transformed back into the controlled and arrogant heir of the Jefferson family.
All the earlier chaos and craziness disappeared in an instant, replaced by indifference and sharp observation in Derek's eyes.
He sat at the edge of the bed, his hand briefly touching Aileen's cheek.
Suddenly, he stopped, feeling her warm tears.
She was crying.
"You could have asked for money, power, or even to be my girlfriend," Derek said, his expression turning to one of surprise and confusion. "But all you wanted was a ticket to a bidding event? Aileen, why don't you just ask me to help you win the bid?"
