Feeling lost and heartbroken, Mia crosses paths with her ex fiancé's wealthy and enigmatic uncle, who happens to be in need of a wife. In a twist of fate, they enter into a contract marriage, hoping to fulfill each other's needs. However, as they spend more time together, their connection deepens, and they find themselves falling in love. Their blossoming romance faces numerous challenges, including the jealousy of Mia's ex-fiancé and various obstacles that test their commitment. Will their love prevail against all odds, or will they succumb to the pressures surrounding them?

On Mia Larson’s birthday, her mother, who had been her anchor, passed away. Her husband, Nick Ford, did not celebrate her birthday, nor did he attend her mother’s funeral. Instead, he was at the airport, picking up his one true love.

In the two years after Bradley Vaughn's so-called "memory loss," we divorced seven times—all to keep his childhood crush Vivian Monroe happy. Number eight? Because Vivian got pregnant. "You can't have kids anyway. Once Vivian has the baby, we'll get back together. You can raise the kid." That was his usual ice-cold line as he slid the papers across the table. That night, he kicked me out—said Vivian got nauseous just seeing me. I moved into another house. Alone. In the rain. Even after I landed in the ER from a near assault, he didn't bother asking if I was okay. Then one day, I spotted him at a clinic with Vivian. He rubbed her belly and laughed, "So what if she finds out I faked the amnesia? She can't live without me. Toss her a bone, she'll come crawling." I looked away, steady. Then my phone buzzed. [How did your checkup go?]

Separated by fate, haunted by the past-- that's how they live. Until they meet again; they built hatred, showed agony, betrayed friends, wanted to be loved and learned how to sacrifice one's happiness. Remember those nights that I've been disturbing you, it's because I can't say what I need to say. Remember the time that I didn't disturb you; I've been holding so much, hoping that you'd be the one to call me first- and you did. Every time I hurt your feelings, I'm hurting too. I- I just don't know how to tell you the exact words, so I keep on annoying you. I'm sorry for all the troubles that I have caused- "I know," I said and I hug him. I can sense the same pain as what he is in my dream. Confessing is not bad. I'm just overwhelmed kasi I feel the same. "I like you too, Alex. I don't know how, I don't know why but that's how I felt. I hate you harassing and annoying me but I missed it when you don't!" I smiled. There fate is twisted.

“You can call me when you’re lonely. I’ll be your temporary fix.” Those were the words that he said to me and it was plain simple, he wanted nothing but sex and I wanted nothing more than too. I was the kind of girl who was too scared of falling in love again because I feel like there is something more in life than being mournful over a guy who never actually gave a hell. I deserve something more than pain and misery over a stupid heartbreak. Since then, I got too scared of commitment that I no longer wanted to be in one. I wanted fun and I wanted to feel like I am alive again. He was the kind of guy who was too busy for permanent relationships. The superstar that all women wanted to bang with. The kind of guy who would have any girls kneel down in front of him because well, he is that kind of guy. He was a guy with a hectic schedule, sold out world tours, drinking champagne in private jets, holding a mic in one hand and conquering all over the world on the other. Maybe I needed someone to show me how to live again and he needed someone to show him how to love.

UNDER HEAVY EDITING. ***** He chuckled at her desperate attempt to make the lie believable. "Pretty little liar, your face betrays a lot, sadly" he placed his hand on her cheeks, his face dark "you can't run from me, Maya; no matter how hard you try to, I'll always find you. Even in the deepest part of hell, And when I find you, you get punished according to how long you were away from me, understand?" His tone was so soft and gentle it could have fooled anybody but not her. She could see through him, and She trembled under his touch. "Y-yes, maestro" **** Though her sister commits the crime, Maya Alfredo is turned in by her parents to be punished by the Ruthless Don Damon Xavier for selling information about the Costa Nostra to the police. Her world is overturned and shattered; she is taken to the Don's Manor, where she is owned by him and treated like his plaything, meanwhile knowing his intentions to destroy her.

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?
