Sa taong 2030, sa lungsod ng Maynila, magtatagpo ang dalawang taong galing sa magkaibang mundo. Elaine Santos—isang simpleng babae mula sa isang maralitang pamilya, determinadong gawin ang lahat para mailigtas ang kanyang kapatid na may malubhang karamdaman. Nang mawalan ng pag-asa at pagkakakitaan, mapipilitan siyang tanggapin ang isang alok na magbabago sa kanyang kapalaran. Aidan Velasquez—isang batang negosyante at bilyonaryong kilala sa kanyang lamig, determinasyon, at pusong sarado sa pagmamahal. Sa mata ng publiko, siya ay perpekto. Ngunit sa loob, siya'y wasak—binuo ng pagkabigo, at nilason ng isang nakaraang hindi niya matahimik. Ang kanilang landas ay magtatagpo sa pamamagitan ng isang kasunduan—isang isang-taong kasal kapalit ng tulong pinansyal para sa kapatid ni Elaine. Sa simula, malinaw ang mga hangganan: walang damdamin, walang komplikasyon, isang kontrata lang. Pero sa bawat araw ng pagiging "asawa" ni Aidan, mararamdaman ni Elaine ang paglamlam ng kanyang mga pader. Unti-unti, binubuksan niya ang pintuan ng kanyang puso—hindi lang kay Aidan kundi sa lahat ng taong nakapaligid dito. At si Aidan, sa kabila ng kanyang malamig na maskara, ay masusubok harapin ang katotohanan ng kanyang nakaraan—lalung-lalo na ang sakit na iniwan ni Selene Navarro, ang babaeng minsan niyang minahal. Habang tumatagal, mas lumalalim ang komplikasyon. Lilitaw ang mga lihim. Mabubunyag ang mga sugat. At masusubok ang tibay ng damdamin sa gitna ng mga kasinungalingan, takot, at responsibilidad. Sa huli, ang tanong: Ang pag-ibig ba ay kailangang ikontrata—o ito'y malayang nararamdaman sa tamang panahon?

Sombre Ténèbre Dans le faste discret d’un hôtel de luxe au cœur des États-Unis, Nahia Velasquez, jeune femme sans histoires, vierge et désespérée, accepte de remplacer son amie call-girl pour une seule nuit , mais c'est une erreur , cette nuit avec un inconnu. Il ne dit pas son nom. Il ne pose pas de questions. Il la prend sans douceur, sans promesse. Et marque sa chair d’un désir qu’elle ne comprend pas. Elle pensait disparaître au matin, oublier cette nuit volée à sa propre vie. Mais il la réclame le lendemain . Quand elle refuse, il comprend. Elle n’est pas une prostituée. Elle n’aurait jamais dû être là. Mais Salvatore Caruso, chef incontesté de la mafia italienne, n’est pas un homme qu’on repousse. Il est à New York pour affaires. Il repartira bientôt pour Rome, où l’attend un empire bâti sur le sang et la peur. Il n’a pas le temps pour les jeux. Alors il lui fait une offre glaciale : 5 000 000 de dollars pour qu’elle soit à lui pendant six mois corps et âme . Elle signe un contrat , mais c'est une cage dorée et le diable comme geôlier. Nahia accepte parce que sa mère est mourante, et que les frais d’hôpital s’accumulent. Ce qu’elle ignore, c’est qu’elle vient d’entrer dans un monde où l’amour est une faiblesse, où le désir peut tuer, et où l’on ne s’enfuit jamais vraiment. Car Salvatore ne connaît ni la tendresse, ni la pitié. Il prend , il garde , il détruit. Mais Nahia n’est pas qu’un jouet. Elle pourrait bien allumer l’étincelle que même un roi des ténèbres ne saurait maîtriser. Ou se perdre à jamais dans ses sombres ténèbres.
