Betrothed by her grandparents, Zoey, despite her opposition has no way but to agree and accept her despicable fate. Pikit-mata niya itong tinanggap kahit pa man ay isang taong nakatadhang buong buhay na yata niya kamumuhian. Francis, Anak ng maimpluwensyadong pamilya sa kanilang lugar. Lahat ng katangian nito ay kinakainisan niya na. Pinaka-aayaw man nila'y ito naman ang pinakahihintay ng nakararami. To be able to finally tie the knot between two influential families would be one, great event in the history in their town that everyone has long been waiting.Isang matagal ng pangako na pinangarap ng dalawang pamilya na pilit tinutupad sa henerasyon nila. Sa araw-araw ng kanilang pagsasama, walang panahon na hindi nila ipinakita sa isa’t-isa ang lantarang pagkadisguto. Ngunit sa likod ng kaniyang di maintindihang ‘di pagkakaunawaan ay nakakubli ang isang damdaming di maipaliwanag. Damdamin na lumukob sa kanyang buong pagkatao na kailanman ay hindi matutugunan. Sapagkat, pinagmamay-ari niya man ang buong pagkatao nito, hindi naman ang puso. Sa dumaang panahon ay tuluyan na ring nagbago at naglaho ang dating Francis na kilala niya- total opposite na ito ngayun lalo pat magkakaanak na sila. Ngunit, sadya yatang mailap sa kanya ang tadhana. Ang dagling kaligayahan ay naglaho ng bumalik sa buhay nila ang babaeng iniirog, hanggang sa nakunan siya. Ang minsay naging maalab na damdamin ay napalitan na ng ga-lawak na nagyeyelong lawa. Ang minsa’y matamis na mga salita ay naging isang parang nakalalasong damu na namiminsala sa gitna ng nangingintong hardin. Nakaya pa kaya niyang panindigan ang kasabihang “Love pulls stronger than of pain and hatred”? Paanu nga ba iyon kung sukdulang sakit na ang iyong naranasan, pikit mata na lang ba? Tunghayan natin ang kwentong magpapa-iyak at magpapaibig sa atin, kwento ng makabagong henerasyun na nagapos sa napaglumaan nang pangako ng kahapon.

BREE LEV. I thought it stands for something simple until I heard his deep soulful voice. A single hello was all it take for him to have my undivided attention. Akala ko hulog siya ng langit. Isang anghel na magsasalba sa akin. I was all wrong. He's a fallen angel with dark blue eyes and cold leather-covered hands. A man mantled with power and veiled with sin. We're opposites. I'm weird and a social butterfly. He's terrifying and brooding. A lone wolf. I love pinks and swirls. He prefers pointed knives and black guns. Darkness seems to be his fave companion and death his pastime. I, on the other hand, will always choose life. He told me to stay away from him. Guess, you know by now, that I did the exact opposite, right? I stayed 'cause I want him so bad, it hurts. I, Bree De Veyra, daughter of one of the families of The Council, lay my life to the head of the Foedus Corp– Lev Petrov. My father's sworn enemy. The master manipulator and my protector. Or my destroyer? LEV Three years ago, one phone call, two minutes. I swore I will kill her. Four weeks before her 16th birthday, I did the unthinkable. I destroyed her trust and left her. Broken and beyond repair. Twenty-four hours before her 18th birthday, nagbalik ako para bawiin s'ya. Twelve hours after I abduct her, we exchange I dos. Eight seconds after our first kiss, I know I will protect her with my gun and with my life. I, Lev Petrov, Heir to a fallen empire, vows to avenge Bree from all of the people that wronged her. It will be my life's mission until the last drop of my sinful blood...I will never let them rest in peace.
