Bound By Hatred And Betrayl

‘Isang gabi. Isang babae. Isang pagkahumaling na nagpabagsak sa pinakawalang-awang boss ng mafia.” Si Kristoff Ortega ay hindi lang isang pangalan; isa itong batas sa madilim na mundo ng mafia. Siya ang hari—malamig, kalkulado, at walang sinumang nabubuhay na nangahas sumuway sa kanya. Ang buhay niya ay nakaayos sa tatlong bagay: kapangyarihan, pera at ang takot na ibinibigay niya sa lahat. Sanay siyang nakukuha ang lahat, at ang mga babae para sa kanya ay mga pampalipas-oras lamang. Ngunit ang lahat ng ito ay nagbago sa isang gabi. Sa isang pagkakataon na hindi niya inaasahan, nakasama niya ang isang misteryoso at napakagandang babae, si Paola. Hindi siya katulad ng iba; may tapang sa kanyang mga mata, isang apoy na tila hindi natitinag sa reputasyon ni Kristoff. Para sa kanya, ang gabing iyon ay dapat sana’y isa lang sa marami—gagamitin at iiwanan. Ang pagnanais na iyon ay mabilis na naging isang mapanganib na pagkahumaling (obsession). Si Kristoff, na laging sanay na siya ang may kontrol, ay nagsimulang maging pabigla-bigla. Ginamit niya ang lahat ng kanyang kapangyarihan upang hanapin si Paola, na tila naglaho sa mundo. Ang pagkawala nito ay isang direktang sampal sa kanyang pagkalalaki at kapangyarihan. Nang sa wakas ay muli silang magkrus ng landas, natuklasan niyang ang babae ay may sariling mga sikreto—mga sikretong maaaring ikapahamak nilang dalawa. Dito nagsimula ang tunay na labanan ng kapangyarihan. Habang sinusubukan ni Kristoff na ikulong at angkinin ang babae sa ilalim ng kanyang dominasyon, mas lalo itong lumalaban. Ang bawat pagtanggi ng babae ay lalong nagpa-alab sa kanyang simbuyo ng damdamin, na humila sa kanilang dalawa sa isang mapanganib na laro ng pag-ibig, selos, at panganib. Ang babae ay naging ang kanyang kaisa-isang kahinaan—isang bagay na natutunan gamitin ng kanyang mga kaaway laban sa kanya.
