They came to celebrate love, but leave with blood on their hands. Brielle Champagne has it all: beauty, brains, and the perfect fiancé. Or so it seems. Behind the sparkling estate gates, her engagement party is nothing more than a high-society stage for lies, betrayal, and blackmail. Her sister, Draya, is back in town with secrets sharp enough to cut through the family’s carefully crafted image. Her best friend, Monty, is a temptation she can’t quite outrun. And her fiancé, Kannon Maxwell, is hiding the kind of truth that could shatter them both; a truth her powerful father is using to control everyone in the room. By the end of the weekend, hidden affairs will be exposed, old flames will reignite, and one devastating revelation might rip the Champagne family apart for good. Money can buy silence and the perfect party, but it can’t buy forgiveness.

I asked as his large callous hand wrapped itself around my left breast, clutching the lump in a tender yet firm grip. "Your heart remains calm like ocean when with my brother but flaps like a caged bird when I am around. Suspicious, isn't it?" he rasped while drawing circles over my palpitating heart with his thumbpad. I could sense it. He is close to finding out the truth. That I am his mate and that he has a daughter.

Si Veronica ay isang simpleng babae na buong buhay ay inilaan sa pag-aalaga kay Nanay Belen at sa kanyang kinakapatid na si Barbara. Si Barbara ay maganda, matalino, at palaging nakukuha ng gusto niya, ngunit sa likod ng kanyang perpektong imahe ay isang spoiled brat na sanay sa pagmanipula ng mga tao. Habang nag vi video call si Veronica sa kanyang boss na half-Filipino, half-Italian na si Anthony Rossi ay agad niyang napansin ang kagandahan ni Barbara. Nabighani ito kaya't dali daling pumunta ito ng Pilipinas bitbit ang kanyang 6 years old na anak na si Bianca at ang kanyang pilipinang ina upang kuning magmodelo ng kanyang merch at magtayo na din ng kumpanya. Inisip niyang seryosohin ang pakikipag relasyon nito ngunit nang masaksihan niya kung paano nito tratuhin ang sariling ina, naisip niyang hindi ito ang babaeng para sa kanya. Nang magkaroon ng problema si Bianca sa eskwelahan, napagtanto ni Anthony na kailangan nito ng isang maternal figure. Sa isang praktikal na desisyon, inalok niya si Veronica ng isang kasunduang kasal—hindi para sa pagmamahal kundi para samahan si Bianca. Ngunit sa kabila ng kasunduan, isang damdaming hindi nila inaasahan ang unti-unting umusbong dahil sa kabila ng ka walang personalidad na itsura sa panlabas ng assistant ay may nakatago itong ganda at higit sa lahat-mabuti itong tao. Nang malaman ni Barbara ang tungkol sa kasunduan, gumawa ito ng eksena—sinaktan ang sarili at muntik nang kitilin ang sariling buhay. Sa gabing dapat ipagdiwang ang engagement nina Veronica at Anthony, isang rebelasyon ang yumanig sa kanilang mundo—buntis si Barbara, at si Anthony ang sinasabing ama. Totoo kaya ito? O isa na namang kasinungalingan upang wasakin ang kanilang pag-iibigan?

“Let’s make a deal. Papayag ka sa kasal—just for show. Para kay grandpa. Name only, no real marriage. No interference in each other’s lives. Kapag gumaling si Lolo, magdi-divorce tayo. Bilang kapalit, bibigyan kita ng financial compensation.” Napamaang si Nathalie. Compensation? Hindi niya naituloy ang pagtanggi. Naalala niya ang kapatid niyang naghihintay ng pambayad para sa gamutan. Isa pa, kaya naman talaga siya pumunta sa Zamora ay para humiram ng pera. Nakita ni Cedric ang pag-aalinlangan niya. Dagdag pa nito, “As long as you agree, kahit magkano—ikaw ang bahala.” Tahimik na nagbilang si Nathalie ng hininga. Ilang sandali pa, tumango na siya. “Okay, I agree.” Bahagyang ibinaba ni Cedric ang paningin, tinatago ang malamig na ngiti sa kanyang mga mata. ‘Isang babaeng kayang ipagbili ang kasal para sa pera… how cheap,’ naisip niya.
