Hindi dahil bitter siya, kundi dahil masyado siyang abala sa pagpapatakbo ng imperyo ng pamilya. At kung tutuusin, ayaw niya talaga sa istorbo. Malapit na siyang tumuntong ng kwarenta, pero ni minsan, hindi niya naramdamang may kulang. Para sa kanya, sapat na ang katahimikan at kontrol sa buhay—dalawang bagay na sa tingin niya ay mawawala kapag may babae sa paligid. Pero isang pabor ang babaligtad sa takbo ng lahat... ang pag-aalaga sa inaanak niyang si Yvonne, na ngayon ay isa nang makulit at maganda nang dalaga. At sa bawat araw na magkasama sila, hindi lang ang pasensya niya ang sinusubok, pati ang pagpipigil sa sariling naaakit sa isang bagay na hindi dapat. Makakaiwas ba siya? O tuluyan na siyang matatalo sa tukso ng isang bawal na damdamin?
