Sa mundo ng mga trillionaire, hindi sapat ang pera upang makuha ang lahat—ngunit para kay Fortuna Han, isang pastry chef na lumaki sa simpleng buhay, kaya niyang gawin ang lahat, kahit pa ito’y maging kasalanan, basta’t mapasakanya ang lalaking matagal na niyang minamahal. Si John Tan, isang brilliant, CEO ng isang IT company, cold-hearted computer engineer at tagapagmana ng pinakamalaking business empire sa bansa, ay may isang pangakong kailangang tuparin—ang mapangasawa si Senyora Abedida, ang tanging babaeng tinatangi niya simula high school. Ang mundo nila ay naaayon sa isa’t isa, at walang puwang para sa isang babaeng tulad ni Fortuna. Ngunit hindi iyon naging hadlang kay Fortuna. Sa isang mapanganib na laro ng pag-aakit, pagsisinungaling, at panlilinlang, ginawa niya ang lahat upang maagaw si John mula kay Senyora. At nang tuluyan niyang nakamit ang lalaking matagal na niyang inibig, isang hindi inaasahang rebelasyon ang bumulaga sa kanya—matagal na palang nakatakda ang kasal nila ni John dahil sa isang arranged marriage na pinlano ng kanilang mga pamilya noon pa man. Dahil sa galit at panlilinlang, si John ay napilitang pakasalan si Fortuna sa ilalim ng isang kontrata—dalawang taon lamang silang magiging mag-asawa, at pagkatapos noon, tuluyan na siyang mawawala sa buhay nito. Para kay John, ito ay isang laro ng kapangyarihan. Para kay Fortuna, ito ang katuparan ng kanyang pangarap. Ngunit paano kung sa gitna ng kasunduang ito, may isang gabi ng kapusukan ang tuluyang magtatali sa kanila magpakailanman? Paano kung ang babaeng itinuring niyang mang-aagaw ay siyang magbibigay sa kanya ng bagay na hindi niya kailanman inakala—isang anak? At paano kung sa paglipas ng panahon, ang malamig na poot at galit ni John ay unti-unting mapalitan ng isang damdaming pilit niyang nilalabanan? Si Senyora Abedida, na hindi kailanman papayag na maagaw si John nang ganoon lang.

On Valentine's Day, I set up a candlelit dinner and waited. At 9 PM, my husband, Alfred Johnston, finally texted. [Something came up at work. Don't wait for me.] Then I saw her post. [On a business trip with the CEO for Valentine's Day. Every hotel is fully booked—awkward...] Vivian Bianca, his secretary. Attached was a photo of a guy in a bathrobe, standing by a floor-to-ceiling window. The comments were all 'ooh, CEO's so hot and girl, you're in for a night.' Vivian? Just dropped a smug emoji. So that's what "something came up" meant—a romantic getaway with his secretary. I screenshotted it, posted it on my own feed, and added a smiling emoji. A second later, Alfred called, fuming. "Vivian was joking! Why are you so petty? She's young, not as calculating as you!" I didn't let him finish. "Then let's get a divorce. That way, I won't have to care when you screw around and catch something."

My boyfriend is a forensic artist. He was forced to make a harrowing decision to save his first love. At the killer's demand, he created a portrait from a photo—he never realized that the young girl in the photo was me in my childhood. Two weeks later, the police investigate a grisly bomb explosion and dismemberment case. The victim's identity was unrecognizable, and the investigation dragged on for days as the authorities desperately searched the blast site, looking for my remains. After three days and nights, they finally recovered enough of my remains to reconstruct my face. When my boyfriend unknowingly brought the shattered fragments back to life with his art, he was confronted with a horrifying truth—one that drove him to the edge of madness.

The moment he turns and leaves, I can no longer hold back my tears. All along, Andrew's heart belonged to someone else. Later, I contact my best friend, Selena Jones, through the mind link. "My bonding ceremony has been canceled," I say flatly, my voice thick with helplessness. "Didn't you want me to lead the research team at your institute out of town? I'll do it. When do we leave?"

My husband's first love had been trapped in a car for an hour. After they pulled her out, his rage shifted onto me. “It’s your fault she got hurt,” he spat, his eyes blazing as he grabbed me. Before I could make sense of what was happening, he forced me into a wooden box, slamming the lid down with a deafening crack. “You’re going to feel every ounce of the pain she went through,” he hissed, nailing it shut. I pounded on the walls, my screams tearing through the air. “Please, I didn’t do anything! Let me out!” My throat burned with the effort, my fists aching, but nothing stopped him. “Stay in there until you’ve figured out how to act like a decent human being,” he said, his voice cold, dripping with contempt. Hours passed. My body twisted unnaturally in the tight space, bones throbbing as blood smeared the wood beneath me. I whispered into the dark, the pain unbearable. "Please… just let me out…" But he didn’t care. A week later, he returned, his laughter echoing with hers as they entered the house, carefree from their trip. He finally opened the box. But by then, I was already gone. The woman he locked away was no longer breathing, no longer pleading. Just a cold, silent corpse.
