After I'm abducted, I call my mother, a policewoman, for help. However, she hangs up on me and stays by my adoptive sister's side. "Go to hell if you're so keen on it!" she snaps. I calmly watch as the abductors pluck my nails and torment me until none of my skin is left unharmed. In my past life, my mother actually came to my rescue. She left my adoptive sister by the roadside, and the latter ended up being violated and murdered. From then on, I became a criminal in my mother's eyes. She received an anonymous text on my adoptive sister's death anniversary. "I bet a good girl like you wouldn't want your mother to know you hired us to abduct you, right?" She thought I orchestrated the abduction because I wanted to vie for her attention. She thought that was the cause of my adoptive sister's death. "I've saved people all my life. I never would've expected my flesh and blood to be such a shameless monster! You should go to hell as atonement for killing Charlene!" She sewed my mouth shut, shattered every bone in my body, and threw my ashes into a junkyard. When I open my eyes again, I find myself back to the day my mother makes her choice.

Hindi kailanman ginusto ni Selene na magkaroon ng kahit anong kinalaman kay Lucian Black — ang malamig at tusong CEO na may masalimuot na pagkahumaling sa kanyang ina, isang bangungot na binalot sa katahimikan at hindi kailanman binigyang-linaw. Buong buhay niyang iniiwasan ang anino ng lalaking iyon… hanggang sa isang internship sa kumpanya nito ang nagtulak sa kanya sa mismong gitna ng mundo nito. Pero may iba pang habol si Lucian. Ganti ang kanyang layunin. Ginagamit niya si Selene bilang kasangkapan — at gantimpala — sa isang mapanganib na laro kung saan bawat titig at bawal na haplos ay may kasamang panlilinlang. Para saktan ang babaeng minsang nagtaksil sa kanya, handa si Lucian na angkinin ang nag-iisang bagay na dapat ay pinrotektahan nito: ang sariling anak. Ngunit malayo si Selene sa inosenteng batang babae na inakala niyang madali niyang malilinlang. At habang unti-unting nabubura ang hangganan sa pagitan ng galit at pagnanasa, ang apoy ay mas lalo pang nagliliyab. Hindi kailanman bahagi ng plano ang pag-ibig. Mas lalo na ang magkaroon ng koneksiyon sa isang tao na minsan ng sumira sa buhay nila. Para kay Selene, si Lucian ang tao na hindi dapat ibigin. Para naman kay Lucian, si Selene ang bagay na gagamitin niya para gumanti. Pero sa bandang huli, ito pa rin ba ang kanilang gusto? O tunay na pag-ibig ang siyang mabubuo?

Her back leaned against his desk as her eyes locked with his. He was something words can't describe. " Why are you scared of me, Ariel?" " I'm not..." She stuttered. She seems to lose her breath at just his sight. " What if I kiss you right now?" That made her heartbeat skipped. They were inches apart and all she could feel was his hot breath against her neck.

I was in a temporary shock from an allergic reaction. The two guys I had grown up with didn't even look my way. One of them was busy helping Vivian Byrd carry a pile of gifts, while the other was snapping pictures of her at some popular social media spot. It was a stranger passing by who called an ambulance and got me to the hospital, saving my life. The next day, Vivian called, her tone almost smug. "Trish, Zeke and Hendrick were so exhausted after shopping with me yesterday. I heard you threw a tantrum and ended up in the hospital. Should I come visit you?" I simply replied, "No need." Zeke Benson and Hendrick Peay were my childhood friends. They once treated me like I was everything to them—promising to pluck the moon and stars from the sky and to protect me forever. But ever since Vivian came into the picture, their world no longer revolved around me. I thought for a moment and then dialed my mother's number. "Mom, I'll accept the marriage arrangement."
