Isang matapang na dalagang negosyante si Ysabella Cruz na handang gawin ang lahat para mailigtas ang pamilya nila sa pagkakautang—kahit pa ang kapalit ay isang kasunduang kasal. Ang catch? Ang lalaking papakasalan niya ay si Mayor Alaric Dela Vega—bata, makapangyarihan, at misteryosong lider ng kanilang bayan. Hindi inaasahan ni Ysabella na ang lalaking minsang tumulong sa kanya noong kabataan pa sila ay siya ring magiging "asawa" niya ngayon—ngunit sa papel lamang. May sariling dahilan si Mayor Alaric kung bakit pumayag siya sa kasunduan: kailangan niyang mapanatili ang imahe niyang "settled" upang matuloy ang pagtakbo sa mas mataas na posisyon sa pulitika. Ngunit habang lumilipas ang mga buwan sa ilalim ng iisang bubong, unti-unting nabubura ang hangganan ng kasunduan.

At kapag dumating ang oras ng pag-pirma ng annulment papers, sino ang unang aatras—ang pusong natutong magmahal o ang pusong takot masaktan muli?

He threw them on my face and gestured me to pick them up. I glared at him, refusing to listen. "Come on, pick them up" he ordered like he was talking to a pet dog. When I didn't listen he crouched down to my level and picked them up himself. "Do you know what it is? It's our marriage contract, read it!" He threw them on my face again. "I said fucking read it!" He yelled loudly. "Don't make me do something, you'll regret afterward, read it, I'll beat you if I have to" he threatened. I picked them up with trembling hands and blurry vision. I saw my signature at the bottom of the page, my breath seized as I stared at it. "Read it!" He ordered, standing tall before me. 1. I will not work. 2. I will respect my in-laws. 3. I will do whatever my husband tells me to. 4. I will take care of my husband as an obedient wife whether I am treated like a wife or not. 5. I will bear children for my husband, I won't have any parental rights over them. My husband will have their sole custody. 6. Finally, I will be ready to go to bed with my husband at his wish whether I like it or not. A single tear fell on the page followed by many others. He snatched the contract back from me. "Now you understand your place?" He asked menacingly.
