Pas facile de séduire une aristocrate de haut-rang, quand on tombe de Charybde en Scylla. Surtout quand débarque à l'improviste Anita, sa plus que torride ex-femme, une bombe italienne au caractère aussi incendiaire que ses tenues vestimentaires...

Sabiana Zoreta was bought for fifteen million pesos. At the very young age of twenty, she was being bid in an elite club. She was taken there to be sold and included in an auction. Kidnapped at the age of five by her father from her wealthy known stepdad, she later questioned why he would sell her when she grew up. Could a father really sell his own child? For her father, the answer was yes. Pinalaki siya para pagkakitaan, but the man who bought her didn’t want her for just one night. He wanted her to be his lover—Lennox Montebello, the prince of the underground organization, dirty, dangerous, and dark.

At first, I thought life was so easy but as the years had passed, I realized that life is obnoxious, specially for those poor who pray every day to win in a lottery. Since I was a kid, I already had carried a big responsibility in my arms, sometimes making me question myself whether I was born to live happily or the other way around. My mom and father had a divorce when I was a kid, and unluckily, she made me choose between her and papa. And now, too bad but I regretted nothing. On that day, I chose my dad, and never in million of years would I become jealous to my sister (who had chosen mom) just because she is rich and can buy anything she wants. I was used at buying my only basic needs, securing the rest of my money for future because I know I will still be the only one who can benefit at the end. I was just living peacefully, without having any regrets and doubts, but there is a man named Spencer whose arrogance could reach the planet Jupiter. And I can't deny he got the looks that made everyone to flicker after him. But never in million years would I become fluttered just because of silly and corny jokes from him. But I became tongue-tied for predicting everything. Because I was wrong for judging him like that.
