Sa madilim na sulok ng kanyang silid, isinumpa ng isang lalaki ang kanyang kapalaran. Ipinanganak na may birthmark na halos sakop ang kalahati ng kanyang mukha, lumaki siyang iniiwasan ng mga tao—at sa huli, siya na mismo ang lumayo. Ang tanging nagmahal sa kanya ay ang kanyang mga magulang, ngunit kahit ang sariling kapatid ay hindi pa siya nasisilayan. Dahil sa mga pangungutya at pag-iwas ng iba, isinara na niya ang kanyang puso—lalo na pagdating sa mga babae. Hindi na niya hinangad na mahalin o mahalin pa ng iba. Ngunit nagbago ang lahat nang dumating ang isang babaeng katulong sa kanilang bahay. Sa hindi niya maipaliwanag na dahilan, naagaw nito ang kanyang atensyon. May kakaiba rito, at hindi niya mapigilan ang sariling mahulog. Ngunit isang araw, isang lihim na usapan ng kanyang mga magulang at ng babaeng iyon ang kanyang narinig—isang kasunduang pag-aasawa kapalit ng malaking halaga. Isang pagtataksil. Isang panloloko. Sa galit at pagkasuklam, isinumpa niya ang babae. "Gold digger!" Wala itong pinagkaiba sa lahat ng iba pang tao. Mula noon, nagbago ang kanyang pagtingin dito. Hindi na pagmamahal ang nais niyang ipadama—kundi paghihiganti. Pero hanggang kailan niya maitatanggi ang tunay niyang nararamdaman? At totoo nga bang panloloko lang ang naging dahilan ng babae sa paglapit sa kanya? Abangan ang kanilang kwento—isang kasunduang puno ng sakit, galit, at isang pag-ibig na pilit na itinatanggi.
