At isang batang naghihintay sa pagmamahal ng isang ina. Si Vanessa De Jesus ay isang masayahin, palabiro, at walang preno kung magsalita. Sa paghahanap ng trabaho, hindi niya inaasahang mapapasok siya sa kakaibang mundo ng mayamang negosyanteng si Vincent Curt Lee—isang malamig, istrikto, at halos walang pusong lalaki pagdating sa negosyo. Ang trabahong inaalok sa kanya? Magpanggap bilang si Chelsea Jimenez Lee, ang nawawalang asawa ni Vince at ina ng batang si Vincent. Sa mata ng publiko, buhay pa si Chelsea. Ngunit sa katotohanan, nababalot ng misteryo ang kanyang pagkamatay. Upang mapasaya ang anak na may sakit at nangungulila sa ina, pumayag si Vanessa na gampanan ang papel na hindi niya akalaing babago sa buhay niya. Sa loob ng mansyon, nagsimula ang isang kontratang puno ng mahigpit na patakaran—lalo na ang isang rule na tila pinakamahirap sundin: “Don’t you dare to fall in love with me.” Ngunit paano kung sa bawat pagtatalo, sa bawat banggaan ng personalidad, at sa bawat sandaling magkasama sila, unti-unting nabubuksan ang pusong matagal nang nakapinid? Habang lumalalim ang kanilang pagsasama, mabubunyag ang mga lihim sa likod ng aksidente ni Chelsea. Aksidente nga ba ito? O may mas malalim na dahilan sa likod ng pagkawala? Sa pagitan ng pagpapanggap at katotohanan, sa pagitan ng obligasyon at tunay na damdamin— maaari bang mahalin ng isang puso ang someone like you?

Zarek has always understood his role, an Omega constrained by the unforgiving regulations of the Red Claw pack, merely a pawn in the manipulative games of ruthless Alphas who view him as nothing more than a means to an end.

Still, shadows from both his history and the present refuse to release their grip, with threats lurking in every direction. In a realm where loyalty is scarce and power dictates fate, Zarek must discover his inner strength and learn what it genuinely means to be free. Will he allow Kaidon to be his redemption, or gamble everything to shatter the chains by himself?

For ten years, my family had called me a jinx. When I was three years old, my dad claimed that he lost a major project because he had to take care of me due to my illness. My mom wanted to buy me sweets, only to end up getting hit by a car in front of a candy store. That was how she hurt her arm. My older sister, Siena Bell, often claimed that she screwed up in her tests simply because I kept breaking her pens. One day, my mom invited a shaman named Mr. Reyes over. After inspecting the house, he contemplated for a while. "This child is affiliated with misfortune by nature. She's a walking jinx who absorbs the entire family's luck." He then added, "But if she has a life of misfortune, you will regain your luck." At first, I felt aggrieved and tried to fight back by throwing tantrums. I tugged at my mom's sleeve while arguing loudly, "I'm not a jinx!" But my mom just looked at me calmly. There was a hint of eerie calmness in her eyes. She said, "Mr. Reyes said that you have to accept your fate. Someone has to bear the sacrifices no matter what." Her icy words doused out the hope in my heart. In a way, this twisted dynamic actually worked. My dad's business went steady, whereas Siena started getting better grades. At one point, I even started thinking that I was a real jinx. But… why was it that my family was haunted by more misfortune after my death?
