El autobús en el que viajaban mi suegra Carmen y mi hijo Nacho volcó en una carretera de montaña. El vehículo quedó colgado de un árbol al borde del abismo, a punto de desprenderse. Mi esposo Sergio Mendoza era el capitán del equipo de rescate más cercano, pero la policía descubrió que se había llevado a todo su equipo para acompañar al hijo de su primer amor, Camila López, a un acto escolar. En mi vida anterior, convencí a un amigo mío, Leo Méndez, de que me ayudara a ir al colegio y sacar a rastras a Sergio para que rescatara a Carmen y a Nacho. Pero Camila, avergonzada porque su hijo no ganó el primer puesto, cortó toda relación con él. Además, lo despidieron del equipo de rescate. Cuando Carmen y Nacho salieron del hospital, Sergio nos ató a Leo y a mí y nos arrojó por el acantilado. —¡Si no fuera por ustedes, no lo habría perdido todo! En esta vida, el hijo de Camila consiguió su primer lugar… pero a Sergio ya no le quedaba sonrisa alguna.

Limang taon na ang nakalipas mula nang talikuran ni Nica Mendoza ang lalaking minahal niya higit pa sa sariling buhay. Sa kapalit ng limang milyong piso—at isang pangakong ililigtas ang kanyang ina—iniwan niya si Rafael Watson, ang nag-iisang lalaking pinangarap niyang makasama habang-buhay. Ngunit ang kapalit ng kanyang sakripisyo ay hindi kapayapaan… kundi impiyernong walang tigil. Ngayo’y muli silang nagtagpo—ngunit hindi bilang magkasintahan, kundi bilang amo at kasambahay. Si Rafael, ang ngayon ay tinaguriang Cold Billionaire, ay walang ni katiting na init ng damdamin sa kanyang mga mata. Sa bawat titig, bawat utos, at bawat sarkastikong ngiti niya, ramdam ni Nica ang galit... ang hinanakit... at ang pagnanasang tila hindi nawala sa kabila ng taon. Sa loob ng apat na pader ng marangyang mansion, isang mapanganib na laro ng damdamin ang magsisimula. Isang larong puno ng pagsisisi, pagkakaila, at mga lihim na matagal nang ibinaon sa limot. Pero paano kung ang larong ito ay muling mag-alab—mas mainit, mas delikado, at mas makasalanan? Sa pagitan ng galit at pagnanasa, alin ang pipiliin—ang paglimot o ang muling pagtikim sa isang bawal na pagmamahalan?

After the birth of our daughter, my husband left for a dangerous mission. My in-laws' initial joy soured, and they regarded my baby with disdain. Maria, my mother-in-law, was particularly scornful. In a rare show of familial love, my father-in-law Lincoln took my daughter out for a playdate. I thought he had finally grown fond of her, only for him to strike me the moment he returned. "How dare you betray my son! I'll kill you!" "Yes! Beat that loose woman to death together with that brat!" Shifting my gaze from the report on the floor to my furious father-in-law, I pulled out several photos—my naked mother-in-law Maria, caught with another man. "Let's see who the real loose woman is!"
