Before heading out on her undercover mission, my daughter Anna Stone left me a farewell letter. My husband, Wayne Stone, who adores her, reads it and immediately posts her photo on Instagram. His caption reads, "I heard Anna's on a mission. Let's see how many drug dens she'll take down this time." Anna's devoted husband, Gabriel Morrison, barely glances at the letter before dropping her exact location online. Anna's twin brother, Casper Stone, has always been inseparable from her. However, after reading the letter, he goes straight to the drug dealers and brings them to her. Anna's cover is blown, the mission fails, and all 37 officers are wiped out without a trace. I collapse in despair, lashing out at them with desperate questions, only to be bound and sent to Mirewick, a notorious criminal den. When I open my eyes again, I find myself back on the day Anna sets out on her mission.

My name is Evelyn Brown. I represent the company in the IPO bidding process. Halfway through my presentation, I notice everyone in the room staring at me with puzzled expressions. In that instant, I realize my PowerPoint slides have been swapped for a "Paid Surrogate" advertisement. The wording is utterly humiliating. "I've lived the first 20 years of my life in a poor mountain village. I'm healthy and can promise a son. My price is negotiable." I rush backstage, only to see the impoverished student my father, Eric Brown, has sponsored for years laughing uncontrollably. Leaning against my fiance, Dwayne Woodruff, Katherine Cadwell says, "Oh, Ms. Brown, don't be upset! I was just teasing you to lighten the mood. You just got back home. Don't stress yourself out so much." I grab her arm, insisting she come out and explain herself. But out of nowhere, Dwayne shoves me to the floor. "You've just returned," he says. "We only pulled a little prank on you because we didn't want you to be too tense. If you can't handle even this amount of pressure, how can you be expected to take over the company?" I can't help but scoff. Right in front of them, I send the live recording straight to my father, the CEO. Without a second thought, I dial his number. "Dad, look at what your 'star scholarship student' just pulled. Can we have her and Dwayne kicked out of the company?"

Dahil sa iskandalong nangyari sa unibersidad na pinasukan ni Aria Calvari, ipinadala siya ng kanyang madrasta sa probinsya. Ayaw ng kanyang madrasta na ang pamilyang Calvari ay malagay sa alanganin. Ngunit akala niya’y tahimik ang buhay na naghihintay sa kanya roon. Sa halip ay napunta siya sa bubong ng kanyang Uncle Lucio. Si Uncle Lucio Navarro ay isang misteryosong lalaki. Hindi ito tunay na tiyuhin ni Aria dahil orphan si Uncle Lucio na itinuturing na kapatid ng yumaong ama ni Aria. Gayunman, maraming naririnig na tsismis si Aria. Si Uncle Lucio ay isa rawng babaero, kriminal, dating sundalo at posibleng isang mamamatay-tao. Noong una, puros kaba ang nasa katawan ni Aria dahil sa malamig na tingin at mapang-akit na katahimikan ni Uncle Lucio. Habang lumalalim ang kanilang pagkakaibigan ay mas lumalalim din ang pagnanasa nila sa isa’t isa. Pinipigilan lamang ni Uncle Lucio ang kanyang sarili dahil alam niyang bawal ang kanyang iniisip na nagkagusto kay Aria. Ngunit ang ginawa ni Aria, inakit siya nito. Makasalanan ang dalaga. Masiyado itong dalaga dahil malaki ang agwat ng kanilang edad. Masyadong delikado at higit sa lahat ay ang masyadong malapit sa kanyang nakaraan. Sa gitna ng lahat, kahit anong layo niya kay Aria, siya namang patuloy na paglapit nito. Hanggang sa hindi na niya na pigilan ang kanyang sarili. Ang makasalanang gabi nilang dalawa ni Aria ay nasundan pa ng maraming beses. At kung kailan nagkaroon na sila ng magandang ugnayan, siya namang pag gitna ng mga tsismis. Muling nabuhay ang akusasyon laban kay Uncle Lucio. Maraming nagsasabi na isa raw siyang salot na sumisira sa buhay ng babae? Ngunit para kay Aria, handa ba siyang tumakbo palayo, o panindigan niya ang lalaking unang nagturo sa kanyang umibig ng totoo, kahit sa madilim na oras? Ano ang pipiliin ni Aria?

"Mo*n louder, Raphael—let the whole palace hear who you belong to." "I hate you. *h—Xavier!" "If you hate me, then why are you drip*i*g all over my c*ck, little prince?" He’s my stepbrother. My enemy. The man I swore to ruin. I wear my pride like armor, and my hatred like a crown. He killed my mother. Stole my dreams. Took the throne I was born for. And yet, on the night I was to marry another… Xavier found me drugged and trembling—and buried himself so deep inside me, I shattered. "You were supposed to belong to him," he growled, thrusting until I sobbed, "but this h*le was made for me." I clawed at his back, cursed him, begged for more. My body? A traitor. "H*rd*r… F*ck, Xavier—d**per—" "You’ll ta*e every inch and thank me." I lied. Told the world he r***d me. Watched the king whip him bloody. It hurt to see. But revenge tasted sweeter. Later, I seduced his enemy. Let another man put a baby inside me—just to break him. But Xavier—cold, ruthless, and proud—still shields me from the shadows, even as he spits hate. And when he f*cks me, it’s war. "You want my hate?" he snarled, balls slapping against me, "Then take it. Take every inch until you forget how to lie." We are poison—dripping obsession, burning pride. And we’ll burn down heaven if it means one more night like this.
