"She looks like a nerd... until the billionaire discovers his 'SEXY-tary." ****** Two days before her wedding, Ellaine Cruz thought she was about to marry the love of her life. Instead... she caught her fiancé in the arms of her own best friend. Heartbroken and betrayed, Ellaine disappears without a trace, leaving behind her wealthy family, a canceled wedding, and the life everyone expected her to live. Determined to start over, she hides her true identity behind thick glasses, braces, oversized clothes, and an awkward appearance. Under a new image, she lands a job as the secretary of the country's most notorious billionaire CEO... Westley Madrid Vidal. A brilliant businessman. A shameless flirt. A playboy who changes girlfriends as often as he changes neckties. Westley has one strict rule: Never trust a beautiful woman. But among dozens of glamorous applicants, only one catches his attention... The nerdy secretary who doesn't seem interested in him at all. What Westley doesn't know is that the plain-looking woman behind those thick glasses is actually the missing heiress of the powerful Valderama family. And what Ellaine doesn't know... is that pretending to be invisible is the biggest mistake she'll ever make. Because the more Westley teases her... the more he finds himself falling for the one woman who never tried to seduce him. But when the truth finally comes out... Will the billionaire still choose his nerdy secretary? Or will Ellaine lose her heart for the second time? "Sometimes, the woman hiding behind the biggest glasses carries the biggest secret of all."

Tatlong buwan matapos mamatay ang kanyang ama, napilitang lumipat ang dalawampu't dalawang taong gulang na si Celine Rivera sa Hacienda Villafuerte sa Moncada, Tarlac—ang tahanan ng bago niyang stepfather at ng lalaking unang araw pa lang ay gusto na niyang layuan. Sa unang gabi, dahil sa nakaawang na pinto ng lumang library, aksidente niyang nasaksihan ang isang pribadong eksenang hindi niya dapat nakita. Mula noon, tuwing magkakaharap sila, gusto na lang niyang lamunin siya ng lupa sa sobrang hiya. Ang mas malala? Ang lalaking iyon ay si Allister Dela Rosa—ang guwapo, dominante, at kilalang playboy na itinuturing ng lahat bilang ampon ng kanyang stepfather. Habang nauuwi sa walang tigil na asaran ang bawat pagkikita nila, napapansin ni Celine na may mga bagay tungkol kay Allister na hindi maipaliwanag. May mga gabing bigla itong nawawala. May mga armadong lalaking yumuyuko at tumatawag dito ng "Supremo." At kahit hindi ito kilala ng publiko, may mga makapangyarihang tao na tila nanginginig sa pagbanggit ng codename nitong... White Demon. Ngunit ang pinakamalaking sikreto... Hindi aksidente ang pagpasok ni Allister sa Hacienda Villafuerte. Pitong taon na siyang nagpapanggap na ampon ng lalaking pinaghihinalaan niyang pumatay sa kanyang mga magulang. Pitong taon na siyang naghihintay ng pagkakataong pabagsakin ang imperyong itinayo sa kasinungalingan, dugo, at nakaw na kayamanan. Ngunit habang papalapit siya sa katotohanan, may natuklasan siyang hindi niya inaasahan. May isa na namang pamilyang unti-unti nang nahuhulog sa parehong bitag na minsang sumira sa kanyang buhay. At sa pagkakataong ito... Kasama roon si Celine Rivera. Paano kung ang lalaking una niyang kinaiinisan... Siya rin palang misteryosong bilyonaryong namumuno sa kinatatakutang underground organization na White Demons? At paano kung ang "malaking sekreto" na una niyang nasaksihan sa library... Ay iyon pa lang ang pinakamaliit na lihim na itinatago ni Allister?

Lumaki si Alyannah Saavedra sa Amerika, malayo sa alitan ng dalawang pamilyang matagal nang nilamon ng galit. Sa buong buhay niya, iisa lang ang paulit-ulit na itinanim sa kanyang isipan ng kanyang ama— Ang mga De Vega ang sumira sa pamilya nila. Kaya nang utusan siyang magtago sa ilalim ng pangalang Nadine Buenavista at maging Executive Secretary ng tagapagmana ng De Vega Global Holdings, buong puso niyang tinanggap ang misyon. Hindi para sa sarili, kundi para sa ama na pinakamamahal niya. Ang tanging layunin niya... Makakuha ng ebidensiya — Makuha ang tiwala ng CEO, at tuluyang pabagsakin ang De Vega Group. Ngunit walang nagsabi sa kanya na ang lalaking dapat niyang bantayan ay si Ethan De Vega— Ang pinakamakapangyarihan, pinakamatalino, at pinakakinatatakutang bachelor sa bansa. Isang lalaking malamig. Dominante. Mapang-asar. At tila kayang basahin ang bawat kasinungalingang nakatago sa mga mata ng isang tao. Habang unti-unting nahuhulog ang loob ni Alyannah sa lalaking itinuring niyang kaaway... Unti-unti ring nababasag ang mundong matagal niyang pinaniwalaan. Dahil may mga katotohanang mas mapanganib kaysa sa kasinungalingan. May mga lihim na mas mabigat kaysa paghihiganti. At may mga taong handang isakripisyo kahit ang sariling pamilya, alang-alang sa kasakiman. Paano kung ang taong buong buhay niyang ipinaglalaban... ...ang siya palang tunay na sumisira sa lahat? Paano kung ang lalaking isinumpa niyang kaaway... ...ang unang taong tunay na mag proprotekta sa kanya? At paano kung ang misyon na ipinagkatiwala sa kanya ay isa lamang piyesa sa isang larong matagal nang nakaplano? Sa digmaan ng dalawang pamilyang nilamon ng poot, may pag-ibig pa bang kayang maghilom ng sugat ng nakaraan? O mapapatunayan nilang... ang pinakamapanganib na haplos ay hindi nagmumula sa isang kaaway... ...kundi sa katotohanang matagal nang ikinubli ng taong pinakamamahal mo.
