My name is Akira Sy, or rather, Akira Sy Montenegro—18 years old. Yes, I’m married to the man I love most, Kyle Xavier Montenegro. He’s a businessman—handsome, incredibly successful, and has everything. I fell in love with him when I was 16, always dreaming that one day we’d be together, and yes, my dreams came true. The next morning, I woke up to a cold sensation on my face. I opened my eyes and realized it was water, soaking my entire face. I looked up and was met with Kyle’s dark, piercing gaze. I immediately felt a wave of anxiety. “K-Kyle,” I stammered, my voice trembling. He closed his eyes tightly, as if burdened by a huge problem. “Stand up, wh*re. I’m hungry. Cook for me, NOW!” he ordered with authority, making me scramble to get up without even bothering to wipe my face or change clothes. No, we don’t sleep in the same room. He’s in the master bedroom while I stay in the guest room because he finds me disgusting. It hurts so much when those words come from him. He’s always like that. I rushed down the stairs, tying my robe as I went, heading straight to the kitchen to prepare his breakfast. Yes, I’m his secret wife. No one knows except our parents and a few friends. Since we got married, there hasn’t been a day when he didn’t remind me that he doesn’t love me. Not a day goes by without him hurting me, but it’s okay because, like I said, I love him so much that I’m willing to do anything just for him to love me back.

Isang gabi lang. Isang salitang masakit. That's all it took para mawasak si Naomi Chavez. "Boring." Iyon ang last insult ng ex niya before he walked away—para sa babaeng "mas adventurous," "mas marunong mag-satisfy." Pissed off and humiliated, Naomi made a reckless choice: she'll find someone to teach her all the things she's been too scared to try. Every touch. Every sin. Every filthy secret na hindi niya pa alam. And there's only one man qualified for the job—Raze Vitale. Raze is danger wrapped in expensive suits. He doesn't do romance. He doesn't do sweet. He does raw, rough, and relentless. A man who thrives sa init ng gabi and the sound of his name being moaned. Kaya when Naomi showed up with a proposition too tempting to refuse, he said yes. But every lesson has a price. Every moan has consequences. Revenge turned into craving. Lessons turned into obsession. But sa larong ito, who's really winning? The innocent student learning to sin... or the ruthless teacher who's slowly losing himself?
