Kate Artemis Herrera was an only daughter of a single mother who loved her from the moon and back. She would do anything for her mother even if she sold herself. But an unexpected tragedy happened, and her mother was accidentally lacerated on her neck by an addict while selling Balut on the street.

She sold herself and surrendered her virginity to the mysterious man that had an alias of Don Apollo, who bought her for one billion pesos just a night, and they went to his mansion to have sex. But she put in her mind that after that night, she would run away, and never crossed-paths again with the mysterious man who claimed her virginity, and accidentally got her pregnant. But little did she know that she was carrying inside her womb the babies of the mysterious man who wasn’t just an ordinary powerful man, because he was a Mafia Lord named Orion Dio del Sole that would hunt her, and make her life upside down.

The Garcia family's notorious illegitimate son — violent, obsessive, and dangerously unstable — had sent out a public marriage summons. One of us, my sister or I, was to become his bride. My father, with his career in ruins and his influence dwindling, had no choice but to agree. In desperation, I begged my boyfriend Eric Jordan to return home and make our engagement official. He did rush back, travel-worn and anxious — but only to ask for my sister's hand in marriage. Shattered, I demanded to know why. Eric frowned, his voice icy. "You're just a foster daughter of the Lynch family. You've eaten their food, lived under their roof for years. And if it weren't for Willa, you would've frozen to death on the street. Now's your chance to repay her. Don't be ungrateful." I refused to stay silent. He shoved me aside in frustration. "I told you — Willa and I are only pretending. Once she's out of danger and that lunatic forgets about the proposal, we'll divorce. I'll come back for you. However, stop embarrassing yourself like this — it's pathetic." What Eric did not know was… Willa Lynch escaped the marriage. However, I did not. Later, on the day of the wedding, as the bridal car passed the Jordan family estate, I looked out the window — and locked eyes with Eric. His face turned pale as a sheet.
