I'm Bianca Reyes, 22 yrs.old, full of dreams and innocence, virgin, walang karanasan sa mundo ng desire. Excited akong mag-apply sa Sovereign Seduction, ang company ni Renzo Valderama, pantasya ng lahat. Dala ko ang aking sketches, designs na puno ng Filipino touch, pero hindi ko inexpect na ang unang hakbang ko sa Valderama Towers ay magiging gateway sa isang obsessive nightmare at thrill. Pagpasok ko sa room, nakaharap ko siya..si Renzo, matangkad, dominant, eyes almost chasing my soul. "Strip," utos niya, bago ko ma-realize, naka-cuff na ako sa couch, kamay niya sa zipper ko, hawak ang sex toy na nagpapakaba sa akin. Halos magpumiglas ako, yung init ng tingin niya, yung hininga niya sa leeg ko, awakening something dark inside me. Wrong room, wrong time, pero bakit parang right ito? Humiliated, I walked out, yet his offer... eighty thousand... Enough for therapy ni Mommy Edith, tuition ni Diane, kaya nagpasakop ako. "My terms," sabi niya, at nagsimula ang erotic journey. Sa fittings, hinahawakan niya ako, introducing toys na nagpapaexcite sa buong katawan ko, edible sprays na dinidilaan niya mula sa dibdib ko pababa, BDSM ropes na nagbibigkis sa amin sa obsessive pleasure.

Yet, with Renzo, our sex is thrilling, adventurous jets, obsessions, devouring each other hanggang umiyak ako sa ecstasy. He falls for me, possessive, but I evolve into fierce, dominant, owning him. Now, I'm the Queen of Seduction.But what if our love becomes our ultimate test?

Days before my wedding, I received a video of my fiancee, Alice Moore, being violated against her will. By the time I find her, she's covered in bruises, her body bare. She wails as she punches me in the chest, demanding to know why I didn't come to her sooner. She says her life has been ruined. As I hold her close, I make her a promise, saying that I would never scorn her. I even promise to give her 10% of my company shares as a wedding gift, hoping that it will put her at ease. Everyone says I've lost my mind for going to such lengths for a woman who has been sullied by another man. But then, I end up overhearing Alice giggling away with her friend in the bathroom. "That fool actually believed me and thought I'd been abducted. Cole and I went at it for three days in a row. I had the best time of my life! Oh, well. Since I can't marry Cole, my only option is to let him be the first man I take to bed before I get married." Miranda exclaims in shock, "What if Luke finds out about it? Aren't you afraid of that happening?" "He's a complete idiot. He even promised to give me his company shares as a wedding gift!" Alice retorted derisively. "There's no way he'd find out about this. I'm only marrying him because his family is one of the richest in the city. Otherwise, you couldn't even pay me to date him. Who would want a guy as boring as him?" I remain frozen outside the bathroom, feeling like I'd just taken a plunge into icy water. So be it, then. The wedding ceremony will proceed as scheduled, but I'll have to make some adjustments as to who the bride will be.
