I've just returned from the world's biggest tech summit when my mentor, who's like a father to me, calls. He tells me he's arranged for me to marry his close friend's son, Jonathan Ford. Jonathan is one of Javron's rising stars. A few of my patents are licensed to his company, and they form the core technology of his new product. I work late to wrap up everything in the lab. Then, I dress up and head to the engagement ceremony. Unexpectedly, I'm stopped at the door by Jonathan's secretary, Linda Jones. She wears a lavish gown and looks more like the bride than I do. "Turn around and scram if you know what's good for you," she says with a sneer. "You're just an orphan from the countryside—think twice about whether you're worthy of our CEO." I ask, "Does Jonathan know you're making decisions for him like this?" She lets out a contemptuous laugh. "You're nothing but a pretty face who needs to ride on her mentor's reputation to get married. How can you possibly understand the weight I carry in Mr. Ford's heart?" A blush spreads across her face as she speaks. I study her for a few seconds, then call Jonathan. "If your idea of courtesy is leaving your fiancee standing outside the venue, then here's how I'll repay the favor. I'll let you read the contract and watch as I sell my patents to your competitor. How does that sound?"

"I'm not worth it of your love, Tazu. I'm married. Yes, I love you but that's not enough. Sa mata ng batas at sa mata ng tao kasal ako." He looked at me with desperation. "Divorce him, Tam. Mahal kita at sa mata nating dalawa ay ito ang tama," Love is beyond predicted. When you love someone you fight for them pero hindi sa lahat ng oras pwede kang lumaban sometimes find someone to fight for you. Para ipaglaban ang pagmamahalan niyo.

Labindalawang taon ng pag-ibig, katapatan, at pangako—winasak sa isang iglap ng putok ng baril. Buong akala ni Andrea, alam na niya ang tunay na kahulugan ng pagmamahal. Sa loob ng higit isang dekada, ibinigay niya ang lahat—tiwala, pasensya, at sarili sa lalaking tinawag niyang fiancé. Para sa kaniya, ang pag-ibig ay pananatili. Pagpili araw-araw. Kahit masakit. Hanggang sa Araw ng mga Puso. Habang nasa bingit sila ng kamatayan, isang baril ang nakatutok at sa sandaling iyon, malinaw na malinaw kung sino ang pinili ni Edward. Hindi si Andrea. Kundi ang ex niyang si Margaret. Siya ang niyakap. Siya ang pinrotektahan. Si Andrea ay iniwang duguan, sugatan, at parang hindi kailanman minahal. “You almost died!” sigaw ni Lira. “And he didn’t even look at me,” sagot ni Andrea, basag ang boses. “Parang wala lang ako.” Sa pagitan ng wasak na puso at natitirang dangal, gumawa si Andrea ng isang desisyong walang atrasan. Pinakasalan niya ang pinakamakapangyarihang kaaway ni Edward, ang lalaking kinatatakutan sa mundo ng negosyo na si Dylan Reed Romero, bilang paghihiganti. Ngunit si Dylan ay hindi simpleng rebound. Siya ay dominante. Mapanganib. Mapang-angkin. At sa kabila ng lamig niya ay may isang uri ng proteksiyong hindi kayang ibigay ng lalaking minsan niyang minahal. Ngayon, nahaharap si Andrea sa pagitan ng isang pag-ibig na bumigo sa kaniya, at isang lalaking maaaring humingi ng higit pa kaysa sa kaya pa niyang ibigay. Sa huli, magiging una na ba siya sa puso ng isang tao—o tuluyan na niyang mawawala ang sarili habang sinusubukang magmahal muli?
