시누이가 나를 대리모로 쓰기 위해 임신을 시키려고 갖은 거짓말을 다 했는데 사실이 알려진 뒤에도 남편과 시어머니는 오히려 시누이를 싸고돌며 발버둥 치는 나를 기절시켜 시누이 남편의 침대에 눕혀놓았다. 하지만 그렇게 10달이나 품고 세상에 나온 내 딸은 남자아이가 아니라는 이유만으로 미친 시댁 식구들에 의해 바닥에 내팽개쳐졌다. 그리고 내 몸에서 돈이 되는 모든 장기를 다 빼가서 또 시누이를 위해 대리모를 찾아주었다. 짐승 같은 인간들 손에서 드디어 벗어난 내가 다시 눈을 떴을 때 나는 시누이가 도와달라고 무릎 꿇고 비는 그날로 돌아가 있었다.

늦은 밤, 주서예는 재발한 암으로 인해 극심한 고통에 시달리며 남편에게 간절히 애원했다. “제발, 병원에 데려다 달라고...” 그러나 남편은 그녀를 외면한 채 서슴없이 첫사랑에게로 향했고, 차가운 한마디를 남겼다. “네 연기가 점점 더 실감나는데?” 그녀가 바쳐온 지난 10년의 사랑은, 결국 비수가 되어 돌아왔다. 얼마 지나지 않아 남편의 첫사랑이 교통사고를 당했고, 생명을 구하려면 긴급한 심장 이식이 필요했다. 서예는 주저 없이 자신의 심장을 내어주었다. 그렇게 생을 마감한 그녀. 그러나 서예가 사라지자, 한때 그녀를 철저히 외면하던 남편은 서서히 무너져 갔다. 미쳐가기 시작했다.

10 years have passed and she got everything, so they said. A face that no one could ever deny its beauty, a body that makes men go crazy and a successful career in the legal profession. She has it all, except him- the man she so dearly loved but has to let go of for her to get all these things she has now. Cattaleya Rillera really thought then that it would be worth it. Afterall, she was only 17 at that time when an elderly couple chose her to be their adoptee. Hindi niya inakalang may magkakagustong ampunin pa siya dahil sa edad niya. When she reached the age of 16, hindi na siya nangarap pang may magkakainteres sa kaniyang maging parte ng kanilang pamilya dahil isang taon na lamang ay aalis na siya ng bahay-ampunan dahil magiging isang ganap na siyang maygulang. At ngayong may gusto siyang ampunin, hindi niya papalampasin. This is all she ever wanted. Lahat naman sila doon sa bahay-ampunan. Thus, she consented to such an adoption even if she would have to break her promise to the boy she loves- Caleb Sanchez- the boy she promised to marry when she left the orphanage. Isa ding orphan na naunang umalis ng orphanage dahil mas matanda ito sa kanya ng 2 years. Ang taong nangakong magsisikap para makapag-ipon at paghandaan ang kanilang pagsasama sa oras na umalis siya sa bahay-ampunan. Now that she has finally achieved the success of her chosen career, she thinks it's time to locate him. And if she succeeded, she could only pray that he was still single and that he would find it in his heart to forgive her.

However, she's proved wrong, by her mate nonetheless. TRISTEN SLADE is a determined, yet surprisingly kind dragon prince-- but only to his kind.

His only mission was to find the Heart of Magic, a gem that would return his kind to their original glory, but when a certain little human practically runs into his arms, scared, terrified and lost, he's brought into something anew...and beautiful. Will this forbidden toxic love save both kinds? Or will it destroy them both? After all, it was one impossible love.. Cover by @.SeashelI on quotev.
