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?

Six années de mariage… seulement des étreintes fiévreuses la nuit, jamais une once de tendresse en plein jour. Sylvie l'a aimé de tout son cœur, avec une dévotion presque aveugle. Mais leur fille, n'a jamais eu le droit de l'appeler « papa », tandis que le fils de l'autre femme, a été choyé sur ses genoux. Toute la famille a traité ce fils adoptif comme un héritier précieux, pendant que leur fille a été considérée comme une tache honteuse à cacher. Ce n'est qu'en payant le prix ultime - sa vie et celle de sa fille - qu'elle a compris. Il a signé sans hésiter leurs documents de crémation, puis il a assisté au banquet organisé pour le retour de son grand amour. Ce jour-là, elle a réalisé : un cœur sincère ne s'échange pas contre un autre, et les êtres froids et égoïstes n'en ont simplement pas. Que le ciel ait pitié…Revenant à la vie, Sylvie a juré de de tirer un trait définitif sur ce mariage fait d'humiliations. Dans sa vie précédente, elle avait abandonné ses études pour devenir femme au foyer en dévouant corps et âme à sa famille. Cette nouvelle vie, elle a déposé sans hésiter les papiers du divorce et a pris sa fille pour l'arracher à ce marécage. Et puis, elle a repris sa carrière, déterminée à retrouver son éclat d'antan, à reconquérir les sommets ! La première semaine après le départ de Sylvie, Alain a cru qu'elle faisait juste un caprice. Le premier mois, il n'a pas pris la peine de s'en soucier et l'a laissée faire. Mais des jours plus tard, alors qu'il assistait à un sommet réunissant l'élite de son milieu, il l'a revue. Sylvie, rayonnante, au sommet du podium. Sylvie, s'est concentrée sur sa carrière. Sa fille, s'est mise en tête de lui trouver un nouveau papa. L'homme a perdu toute raison. Alain Chéron, toujours si froid, si arrogant, qui n'a jamais plié devant personne, s'est jeté au-devant de Sylvie. La voix tremblante : « Chérie, je t'en supplie… Est-ce que tu pourrais m'aimer encore une fois ? »

" You'll have to warm my bed every single night, you will always be available for me. And during this period you will not come in contact with any men- " Mr. Noah puts out his conditions, his voice emitting authority. " I'm not in a relationship with anyone so I won't be having sex with anyone except you, you can trust me on that one. " I reply quickly. " Oh no sweetheart, I'm not talking about that. You will not talk to any man or come in contact with them, as long as you are my mistress. You see I am a bit possessive of my things. " He says with an evil glint in his eyes, standing awfully close to me. " I'm not a thing but a human being. " I object. " Doesn't matter now. You're body is my property for the entire month. " He replies carelessly. " As I was saying, you'll be my mistress and work for me in this office at the same time. You'll be my personal secretary. Make coffee, fetch me lunch, mop the floors if I say so and much more." He states. " And one more thing waitress, I hate disobedience and disrespect. Make sure you have no trace of that when appearing in front of me or else I'll make you hate your existence." He threatens, who does he think of himself to be, God? I just nod to his unfair demands, bowing my head down. This is more like slavery. But what other choice do I have? Blackmailing the most notorious Billionaire in America can't end so well, now can it? Well Emma made the mistake, and now the devilish Billionaire will make her pay for it!
