One drunken night led Leila Valderama to marry the love of her life Beau Valencia. But Beau didn’t feel the same. After what happened he despised her. Ngunit sa kabila no’n ay pinakasalan siya nito hindi dahil sa pagmamahal kun’di para isalba ang negosyo ng pamilya nito na nasa bingit ng pagkalugi. Sa kabila ng mga hindi pagkakaintindihan at pagkakaiba nila ni Beau ay pinili niyang maniwala na maaayos rin ang pagsasama nila nito. Pero sa kasamaang palad ay hindi pala kayang turuan ang puso… Sa loob ng pitong taon ay tiniis ni Leila ang harap-harapang pagpapakilala sa kanya ni Beau ng ibang babae.

Pero ang lahat pala ay may hangganan dahil isang araw ay nagising na lang siya at naisip niyang wala ng ibang paraan para maisalba pa ang pagsasama nila. Ang tanging solusyon na lang ay ang sumuko. Ibinagsak ni Leila ang envelope na naglalaman ng divorce papers nila pagkatapos ay isinama ang anak niya para magpakalayo-layo. Desidido siyang baguhin at ayusin ang buhay nila. Sa loob lamang ng isang taon ay umangat ang buhay niya. Isang araw ay nakarating ang balita kay Beau.

Travis Villaflor does not lose. In business, he conquers. In life, he dominates. With godlike beauty, ruthless intelligence, and power that bends men twice his size, he has built an empire where everything and everyone falls into place exactly as he commands. And he belongs to Cathyrine Reva. At least, that is the lie he has repeated for years. Because there was once a boy. Raine Montemayor. Fifteen years of age. Soft-eyed and devoted. Recklessly in love. A boy who trembled but still offered everything. His body, his heart, his soul. And the confession, it terrified him. So he crushed it. “I’m straight,” he said coldly. “I only see you as a brother.” And just like that, he destroyed the only person who had ever looked at him as if he were something more than a god. Raine left for Canada soon after. Travis thought distance would erase the memory. Well, it didn’t. Years later, Raine returns. But the boy Travis rejected is gone. The man who steps off the plane is controlled and polished. Sinfully beautiful. His smile no longer innocent, but knowing. His presence no longer pleading, but commanding. Raine no longer looks like he belongs to him. And that is unacceptable. He has a girlfriend, a reputation and a name built on control. Yet every time Raine turns away from him… every time someone else dares to touch him… Jealousy tastes like blood in his mouth. He wants to drag him close. Mark him. Remind him. “You think you’ve outgrown me?” Travis murmurs one night, voice low and dangerous. “You think you can come back here and pretend I don’t own every part of you? You're wrong baby. You're mine, only mine. Even your brothers can do nothing about it. I possess you.
