“You were born to be mine… so why make me beg for what’s already mine?” Luca growled, confusion flashing in his eyes. Kiki laughed bitterly. “See? Just look at you. The entitlement. You’re behaving exactly like the Moon Goddess’s puppet… dancing to her sick little tune.” —— Kiki never believed in the mate bond. She’d watched it destroy her mother watched love turn into death the moment her father’s heart stopped beating. That was the day she swore she’d never let the bond control her. So she made a choice.

"Kapag lumalapit ang isang tao sa'yo tapos..tapos..biglang bumibilis ang tibok ng puso mo---" hindi ko na naituloy ang sunod ko pang sasabihin dahil pinutol na niya at diretso siyang sumagot. "Inlove! You're inlove with him!!" "Inlove? S-sure ka?W-walang halong biro?" nakakunot na noo na tanong ko. "Oo. Inlove ka. Bakit? Kanino mo nararamdaman 'yan?" "Ah. Eh. Nevermind." sagot ko na parang walang pakialam sa sinabi niya. Inlove. It can't be. "Kay stranger ka inlove?" "Hindi! Hindi!" agad kong sagot. Sa dinami-dami ba naman ng pangalan na sabihin niya kay stranger pa talaga. ----------------------------------- Basahin ang storya ni Mesaiyah na ikinasal sa estrangherong tagapagmana ng Yakuza. Tunghayan kung paano siya unti-unting mahuhulog dito.

Isang ordinaryong babae si Trina, anak sa labas ng isang prominenteng pamilya, na hindi kailanman inasahan na magiging sentro ng isang nakakagulat na sitwasyon: nagkaroon siya ng marriage certificate na nagpapakita na kasal na siya… sa isang lalaki na hindi niya kilala — si Luke Montenegro, ang misteryosong heir ng pinakamayamang angkan sa mundo. Habang sinusubukan ni Trina na alamin ang katotohanan, natuklasan niya ang masalimuot na relasyon ng kanyang pamilya sa mga Montenegro, at kung paano siya itinuturing na walang karapatan kumpara sa kanyang kapatid na si Gabriela, na nakatakdang pakasalan si Xander Montenegro, ang panganay ng pamilya. Sa gitna ng mga intriga, bulung-bulungan, at paninibugho ng pamilya, napilitang makipag-ugnayan si Trina kay Luke, na sa unang tingin ay malamig, misteryoso, at makapangyarihan. Ngunit habang nagkakaroon sila ng hindi inaasahang koneksyon, lilitaw ang tanong: maaari bang mabuo ang pag-ibig sa pagitan ng dalawang taong napagbuklod ng tadhana sa pinaka-kakaibang paraan? Punong-puno ng drama, misteryo, at romantikong tensyon, ang kuwento ay sumusubok sa hangganan ng pamilya, kayamanan, at kung paano hinaharap ni Trina ang kanyang kapalaran sa piling ng isang lalaking hindi niya inaasahan.

Sa madilim na sulok ng kanyang silid, isinumpa ng isang lalaki ang kanyang kapalaran. Ipinanganak na may birthmark na halos sakop ang kalahati ng kanyang mukha, lumaki siyang iniiwasan ng mga tao—at sa huli, siya na mismo ang lumayo. Ang tanging nagmahal sa kanya ay ang kanyang mga magulang, ngunit kahit ang sariling kapatid ay hindi pa siya nasisilayan. Dahil sa mga pangungutya at pag-iwas ng iba, isinara na niya ang kanyang puso—lalo na pagdating sa mga babae. Hindi na niya hinangad na mahalin o mahalin pa ng iba. Ngunit nagbago ang lahat nang dumating ang isang babaeng katulong sa kanilang bahay. Sa hindi niya maipaliwanag na dahilan, naagaw nito ang kanyang atensyon. May kakaiba rito, at hindi niya mapigilan ang sariling mahulog. Ngunit isang araw, isang lihim na usapan ng kanyang mga magulang at ng babaeng iyon ang kanyang narinig—isang kasunduang pag-aasawa kapalit ng malaking halaga. Isang pagtataksil. Isang panloloko. Sa galit at pagkasuklam, isinumpa niya ang babae. "Gold digger!" Wala itong pinagkaiba sa lahat ng iba pang tao. Mula noon, nagbago ang kanyang pagtingin dito. Hindi na pagmamahal ang nais niyang ipadama—kundi paghihiganti. Pero hanggang kailan niya maitatanggi ang tunay niyang nararamdaman? At totoo nga bang panloloko lang ang naging dahilan ng babae sa paglapit sa kanya? Abangan ang kanilang kwento—isang kasunduang puno ng sakit, galit, at isang pag-ibig na pilit na itinatanggi.
