But then his father makes him an offer he can't refuse, and he has no choice but to turn to the one woman he can't stand—Holly Anderson. She's everything he hates in a woman: incredibly spoilt, short-tempered and too damn self-absorbed. And the biggest red flag? She's his frenemy's little sister and comes with a giant warning label. But with the body of a goddess and the untamed spirit of a gladiator, she tempts him beyond measure and makes him want to break all his rules and risk it all… Holly Anderson didn't become a national treasure through talent alone. Hell, she's had to work hard and fight everyone and everything, including all kinds of temptation.

I've raised my son, Caleb Bennett, for nine years, but today I found out he was never mine. Claire Bennett, my wife, shamelessly tells me to leave with nothing. She says Caleb's real father is Lincoln Lancaster, heir to the most powerful family in Berglaton. The Lancaster family has few direct heirs left, so if Lincoln acknowledges Caleb as his son, Lincoln can easily surpass his frail uncle and become the rightful successor. Caleb says, "You think you deserve to be my dad? My real father could crush your whole family with a snap of his fingers!" Margaret Quigley, Claire's mother, adds, "If Claire hadn't gotten pregnant with Lincoln's child back then, do you really think we'd have let someone like you marry into our family?" I don't fight back. I just sign the divorce papers in silence. After that, I take out my phone and call my father, James Lancaster, who has been waiting for me in Berglaton all these years. "Come pick me up on Christmas Eve," I say. "I'm ready to go home and take over the family."

[WARNING: SPG] Gwapo, playboy at malakas ang appeal. Iilan lang iyan sa mga katangian ng bilyonaryong si Kian Fuentavilla kaya napakaraming babaeng nagkakadarapa sa kanya—maliban kay Jhymea Madrigal. Isang dalagang manang kung manamit at madalas pang napagkakamalang lola at mambabarang. Panget si Jhymea, at aminado naman siya roon, pero para sa kanya ay may karapatan pa rin naman siyang mamili kaya inayawan niya si Kian na kahit mala-Adonis na ang datingan ay ubod naman ng yabang. Unang pagkikita pa lang ng dalawa ay nagkairingan na sila. Labis na dinibdib ni Jhymea na tinawag siyang ‘janitress’ at ‘ipis’ ng binata at ganun din si Kian sa kanya nang mapunit ang pwètan ng slacks nito dahil sa dalaga. Halos isumpa nila ang isa't isa hanggang napagdesisyunan ng kapatid ni Kian na si Nexie Fuentavilla na mag one-night stand silang dalawa. Kapalit nun ay ang impormasyong hinihingi ni Kian tungkol sa ex niyang si Tanya, at pera naman para kay Jhymea para mapauwi na niya sa bansa ang ina niyang OFW na kay tagal niyang ‘di nakasama. Dahil sa pagiging maloko ni Kian ay pinalabas niyang nabutas ang còndom na ginamit niya sa pakikipagtalik sa dalaga. Ilang linggo iyong iniyakan ni Jhymea kasi ang buong akala niya ay hindi na siya makaka-graduate, ngunit nahuli niya ang binata nung minsan ay may kausap ito sa telepono at inamin nito ang lahat. Doon ay naisip na gumanti ni Jhymea at pinalabas na totoong nabuntis nga siya ng binata. Nakarating ang tsismis na yun sa ina ni Kian na si Mrs. Anita Fuentavilla. Nagkukumahog na nagpaliwanag ang dalawa na hindi totoo ang lahat pero huli na kasi nagawan na sila ng kontrata ng ginang sa nalalapit nilang kasal. Matakasan kaya nila ang kapalarang nagsimula sa isang laro lamang? O mauuwi na ang lahat sa totoong pag-iibigan?

Moments later, my dad took his last breath, his eyes wide open in a final, stark gaze. As I fulfilled his last requests, organizing everything as he had instructed, I decided to let Jeffrey go. It was only then that he began to regret everything…
