Tatlong taon na ang lumipas mula nang iniwan ako ni Cassiel Esquivel—the man who once owned me in every way. A trillionaire tech mogul. Ruthless in business and even more ruthless in love. Akala ko ligtas na ako. Akala ko tapos na ang lahat sa amin. But one day, I woke up in his private jet—kidnapped, disoriented, and furious. “I’m saving your life,” sabi niya, “because you clearly have no idea what kind of danger you’re in.” Pero ano nga ba ang mas delikado? ‘Yong mga taong humahabol sa akin… o ‘yong lalaking minsan ko nang minahal at winasak ang puso ko?

It feels like I’m running straight toward it. Or worse—like it’s running toward me. Roman Ward. The bane of my existence. And God help me… the only man I can’t escape.
