He married her for revenge. Now he won't let her go.
Three years ago, Gideon Valderama stole his brother's bride.
Hindi dahil sa pag-mamahal, kundi dahil gusto niyang manalo.
Now, Ava Cortes is trapped in a marriage built on revenge. Her husband is cold. Her heart is bruised. And the divorce papers sitting on his desk come with a three-million-peso price tag she can't afford to pay.
Comes, Celestia Cruz, Gideon's ex and the divorce lawyer handling their case. She's beautiful, brilliant, and determined to make sure the marriage ends. Even if she has to destroy Ava in the process.
Enters Benedict Gilson, Ava's Lawyer, predatory, cunning, and maneuvering every bit the end of Ava's marriage.
And when Giovanni Valderama, the younger brother Gideon betrayed-- returns from exile, everything changes more.
Suddenly, Gideon isn't so eager to let Ava go. He watches her. He protects her. He looks at her like she's his.
Ava doesn't know who to trust anymore.
The husband who won't love her.
The ex-fiancé who might destroy her.
The attorney disguising his control through protection.
Or the woman who wants to take everything she has left.
And Gideon might realize crying would be too late.
