Prologue Celine Dela Cruz never imagined na mauuwi sa ganito ang buhay niya. Sa probinsya, simple lang ang mundo niya—gising ng maaga para tumulong sa tindahan ng pamilya, makipagbiruan sa mga kapatid, at mangarap na balang araw… magkakaroon din siya ng love story na parang sa pelikula. Pero isang gabi, habang sabay-sabay silang kumakain, bumagsak ang bombang hindi niya inasahan. “Anak…” mabigat ang boses ng tatay niya. “May kasunduan tayo. Ikakasal ka.” Nag-freeze si Celine. “What? Papa, seryoso ka ba?” At doon niya narinig ang pangalan. Liam Alcantara. CEO ng Alcantara Group. Isa sa pinakamakapangyarihang tao sa Maynila. Mayaman, guwapo raw sabi sa mga balita, pero kilala ring cold at walang puso. Arranged marriage. Hindi niya choice, hindi niya gusto. Pero dahil nalulunod na sa utang ang pamilya niya, wala siyang nagawa. Sa moment na iyon, narealize niya—hindi lahat ng love story nagsisimula sa kilig. Minsan, nagsisimula ito sa kontrata. At minsan, ang taong akala mong magpapabagsak sa’yo, siya pala ang matututunan mong mahalin.

Damn, you're delicious," he murmured into her mouth. "You taste like a goddess." She heard the sound of his belt buckle, and her frantic heart stopped because she knew what was coming. "Damn, I need to be inside you," he declared with a hint of desperation that she loved. She reacted and helped him free himself from his pants because she needed it, too, and she needed it now. But when his member was finally free, and she felt him position himself, his gaze wandered for a moment to a spot behind them. It was only for a second, but that second was enough to see how the entire expression on his face transformed. The desire froze, and instead of the fiery, passionate man from a moment ago, he was that block of ice he usually was again. He took two steps back and looked down. She sat up, confused. "What's wrong?" she asked, baffled. He tensed his jaw and shook his head while zipping up his pants again. A whirlwind of emotions crowded her chest and got stuck in her throat. "Enzo," she called out, but he didn't respond. He bent down to pick up his shirt and walked toward his room without looking at her. "Enzo!" she yelled, but he ignored her and entered his room, slamming the door. She was left on the island, naked, not understanding anything. All the fire went out, giving way to a sadness that settled in her heart. He rejected her. Enzo rejected her. After his wife’s death, Enzo Romano swore his heart was buried with her. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. But when duty forces him into a contract marriage with innocent Arianna, the girl who secretly adores him, she finds herself falling for a man who will never love her back.
