Despised At First Sight Novel

Maya, a 23-year-old orphan raised in various foster homes, is driven by a single ambition: to reach the pinnacle of her career. Years into her professional ascent, she encounters Mark, a wealthy and arrogant billionaire engaged to the heir of a major shipping and logistics corporation. Despite his handsome appearance, Mark is dismissive, calling Maya a low-life unworthy of his affection. Yet both harbor hidden feelings for each other—Maya fears rejection while Mark is bound by pride. Their complicated dynamic shifts when Tom enters Maya's life, embodying her ideal of a perfect partner. Now Maya faces impossible choices: Can she relinquish her feelings for Mark and accept Tom's love? Will Mark abandon his engagement and truly love her? Can Maya forgive Mark's cruelty and contempt, or will she move forward with Tom? As circumstances evolve, these questions will ultimately determine the course of all three characters' lives.
