She joins the passengers on Queen Odette, a cruise ship that promises her the best month of her life. As she takes in the elegance of the ship and is pampered by their first-class services, she starts to believe that the promise will be fulfilled. But her hopes of a perfect vacation are thrown overboard when she finds out the man staying in the suite next to hers is none other than the love of her life,Ex-boyfriend and reason for all her suffering.

Hans Griffin is that psychopath. He craves his office’s cold glass walls and despises his luxurious suite aboard Queen Odette and is beginning to despise his best friend for convincing him to do this. Work helped him forget his demons but this ship is made to tear down the walls he spent the last two years rebuilding and after meeting the woman staying in the suite next to his, he fears those walls might be reduced to nothing but piles of rubble before the month is over. How will Hans endure one month with just a wall separating him and the woman who scarred him? How will Vienna keep her distance from the one man she’s forbidden to be with when she’s stuck on this cruise with him? But most importantly, what secrets will be revealed before the thirty days are over?

Sa mundo ng mga mayayaman at makapangyarihan, ang kasal ay hindi palaging tungkol sa pag-ibig. Minsan, isa lang itong kasunduan. Solen Mira Callisto, isang occupational nurse sa Monteverde Lines Inc., ay biglang nabaon sa utang matapos pumanaw ang kanyang ama. Dalawang milyong piso—isang halagang hindi niya kayang bayaran sa loob ng tatlong linggo. Sa gitna ng kanyang desperasyon, dumating ang isang hindi inaasahang alok mula kay Leonidas “Leon” Monteverde, ang matikas pero mailap na COO ng Monteverde Lines. Bilang susunod na tagapagmana ng kanilang shipping empire, may isang kondisyon bago niya makuha ang kumpanyang matagal nang itinakda para sa kanya. Kailangan niyang magpakasal. Isang kasunduan ang nabuo. Isang taon ng pagpapanggap bilang mag-asawa. Walang damdamin, walang komplikasyon. Para kay Leon, ito ay isang kasunduan lang. Para kay Solen, ito ang kanyang tanging paraan para mabawi ang lahat ng nawala sa kanya. Dapat ay simple lang, pero bakit parang hindi lang basta umaarte si Leon? He’s too convincing and too protective. Sa tuwing tatawagin siyang "asawa ko" sa harap ng iba, hindi niya alam kung dapat ba siyang mataranta o kiligin. Unti-unti, nagiging malabo ang linya sa pagitan ng kasunduan at katotohanan. Sa mundo ng kapangyarihan at intriga, paano kung ang isang relasyong nagsimula sa papel… ay mauwi sa isang bagay na totoo?

When powerful mafia boss Nico Ricci's sheltered younger sister Aleta suffers a mysterious hit-and-run that leaves her with complete amnesia, fate places her in the hands of her brother's greatest rival—Elio Castellano. Elio, thirteen years her senior and harboring deep resentment toward the Ricci family, recognizes her immediately. Instead of returning her to her brother, he seizes this opportunity for revenge by convincing the vulnerable Aleta that they're secretly married. What begins as a cold deception grows complicated as their chemistry ignites into passion. As Aleta gradually recovers fragments of her memory, she discovers they have a forbidden history: a summer romance in Italy years ago that her brother ruthlessly ended with lies and manipulation. But Aleta's accident wasn't random. As Nico tears the city apart searching for his sister, dark secrets emerge about his criminal empire that even Aleta wasn't meant to discover. The hit-and-run that stole her memory may have been ordered by someone much closer than either Elio or Aleta could have imagined. Caught between family loyalty and consuming love, Aleta must decide whom to trust when her full memory returns. Meanwhile, Elio faces an impossible choice between his thirst for vengeance and the woman who has unexpectedly captured his heart. In a world where passion and danger collide, Aleta and Elio are on a treacherous path toward truth and redemption. Their journey exposes the thin line between love and revenge, proving that some vows, even forgotten ones, are destined to be remembered—and some secrets are meant to be revealed.
