Contrôlant

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. Sa pagitan ng mga scripted na halik sa harap ng kamera at mga gabing puno ng katahimikan, may damdaming unti-unting nagigising. Hanggang kailan sila magtatago sa likod ng kontrata? 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?
