In a world ruled by power, fear, and blood, Dante Ricci is nothing short of a walking demon. A powerful mafia boss, he commands respect through sheer brutality, feared by his enemies and even those closest to him. Dante despises weakness, ruthlessly crushing anyone who dares to oppose him or show vulnerability. Cold-hearted, dominant, and cruel, he lives by the law of the underworld—survival of the fittest. On the other side of the city lives Elena Carter, a cheerful and innocent college student. Adopted by parents who despise her, she has always felt out of place in a world that offers her little love. Unbeknownst to her, her real parents were killed years ago, but she knows nothing of the dark secrets that shroud her past. She’s focused on her studies, trying to live a normal life despite her broken family. Fate takes a dark turn when Elena accidentally witnesses Dante in the middle of a brutal murder, crime no innocent eyes should have seen. Dante, always careful to eliminate any loose ends, has no choice but to kidnap her. She’s nothing more than a liability, a weakling in his eyes, and his first instinct is to kill her. As secrets unravel and tension mounts, Dante must confront the demons of his past while Elena fights to survive in a world she never belonged to. Will Dante’s hatred and heartlessness lead him to kill her, or will the unexpected connection between them change their lives forever?

Akala ko tapos na ang gabi. Tahimik na ang buong bahay, pero hindi ang dibdib ko. Kagagaling lang namin sa isang party—hosted by his mother. Ang daming tao. Ang daming mata. Pero kahit na ipinakilala niya akong secretary lang, ramdam ko ang pag-aangkin sa bawat sulyap niya. Lalo na nang may lalaking lumapit sa akin. Lalo na nang ngumiti ako, kahit sandali. Doon ko siya nakita—yung paninigas ng panga, ang lalim ng tingin na parang babagsak ang langit. Kaya hindi na ako nagulat nang may kumatok. Malakas. Walang pasintabi. Pagbukas ko ng pinto, naroon siya. Si Cayden. Nakatayo sa dilim, may halong galit at silakbo sa mukha. Hindi siya nagsalita agad—dumiretso siya sa loob, isinara ang pinto, at hinila ako papunta sa kama. “Cayden, what are you—stop!” Nagpumiglas ako. Umiwas. Pero hinigpitan niya ang hawak sa braso ko. Lumuhod siya sa kama, pinilit akong mapahiga. At saka siya bumulong, malamig ang boses, pero parang nasusunog ako sa bawat salita. “Tonight, whether you like it or not… I’m going to claim you.” Nanlaki ang mata ko. Hindi ito tanong. Hindi ito pakiusap. Ito ang utos ng isang lalaking hindi kailanman tinanggihan. Hindi siya aalis. Hindi siya titigil. At ngayong gabi— Tatatakan niya ako ng pangalan niya. Kahit hindi ako handa.
