Sa mundo kung saan ang pangalan ay mas mahalaga kaysa pagkatao, natutunan kong magsuot ng maskara. Isang gabing nagkunwari akong kabilang sa mga mayayaman—hindi para manglamang, kundi para maranasan kahit saglit ang buhay na hindi kailanman naging akin. Ngunit sa gabing iyon, nakilala ko siya—si Jayden Ryan Fendi. Akala ko sandali lang ang lahat. Isang pagkakamali. Isang lihim. Isang hiya na lilipas din. Pero ang mga ulap ay hindi lang basta naglalaho. May mga bagyong kasunod. Nang mabunyag ang katotohanan, hindi lang reputasyon ko ang nawala—kundi ang tahanang tinawag kong pamilya, at ang pusong hindi ko sinasadyang ibigay. At habang unti-unti akong nawawala sa mundo niya, may mga lihim din pala siyang itinatago. Hindi pala ako ang unang nagsinungaling.

I've been married to Sylvia Fuller, a mafia donna, for ten years. I'm there with her in every life-and-death situation. My hands, which are meant for playing the piano, have developed calluses from using guns. They are also stained with blood from the enemies. But when Sylvia turns 28, she falls head over heels in love with Wilson Hink, the young man she's brought back from the slums. Sylvia has hidden him very well… right until the moment I bump into him accompanying her to a prenatal check-up. Mad with jealousy, I demand Sylvia for answers, but she just passes me a divorce agreement in a lackadaisical manner. "Wilson is a man of religion. He can't sire a child without getting married, so I have to give him a legitimate status. Sign this agreement, and I'll give you 40% of my shares." I refuse to give my position away, so Sylvia keeps forcing my hand. In the end, she even kidnaps my younger brother, who's paralyzed from waist down, and drags him to the spot beneath a hydraulic press. "Sebastian Chance, either you sign the agreement, or watch him get crushed. Your choice." I kneel on the ground and beg Sylvia to stop. But soon, I hear the hydraulic press being activated. It doesn't take long before I'm completely covered in my brother's flesh and blood. I end up collapsing onto the gore-splattered ground. When I open my eyes again, I realize I've gone back in time—back to the time when Wilson has accompanied Sylvia to the prenatal check-up. This time, I don't say anything. Instead, I contact a rehabilitation center located overseas before filing for a divorce and leaving Sylvia behind. But once I'm gone for real, Sylvia actually goes crazy.
