Sa mata ng lahat, isa lang akong ordinaryong secretary na walang halaga sa pinakamalaking kumpanya sa bansa. Tahimik akong gumagalaw sa opisina habang pinapanood ang mga kasamahan kong halos sambahin ang malamig, makapangyarihan, at walang pusong CEO—si Evander de la Cruz. Para sa kanila, siya ang lalaking hindi kailanman bababa sa antas ng isang tulad ko. Pero ang hindi nila alam… asawa ko siya. Isang taon na mula nang ikasal kami nang palihim. Sa harap ng lahat, ako’y parang alipin lang ng trabaho, at siya nama’y boss na ni hindi ako pinapansin. Pero sa likod ng saradong pintuan ng kanyang opisina, nagbabago ang lahat. Doon, siya ang lalaking sabik sa aking haplos, handang lumuhod para lamang maramdaman ang init ng aking pagmamahal. Pinili kong itago ang aming kasal upang patunayan na kaya kong magsikap gamit ang sarili kong pangalan. Ngunit habang tumatagal, mas nagiging lantad ang pag-aangkin ni Evander—at mas nagiging mapanganib ang mundo sa paligid namin. Lalo na nang magsimulang gumalaw si Clarisse Montenegro, ang ambisyosang team leader na gagawin ang lahat para siraan ako at mapasakanya si Evander. At mas lalong lumala ang lahat nang pumasok sa eksena si Alessandro Cortez, ang tuso at mapanganib na CEO ng partner company na nahulog sa akin at handang gamitin ang negosyo para agawin ako mula kay Evander. Sa gitna ng mga lihim, tukso, at laban sa kapangyarihan, isa lang ang malinaw: kapag ang malamig na CEO ay umibig, hindi siya uurong sa digmaan. At ako ang dahilan ng digmaang iyon.

My fingers brushed against his arm, just enough to make the heat between us undeniable. “Don’t…” he murmured, his voice a low growl that sent a shiver down my spine. But I didn’t move away. I couldn’t. His presence was too much, too magnetic. My body hummed with a hunger I didn’t know how to quiet. His eyes locked with mine, intense, searching, like he knew what I was feeling before I did. “You’re too close,” he whispered. I stayed silent, caught between the urge to pull away and the need to be closer. His breath, warm on my skin, made it harder to think. “Do you intend to trigger your heat again, my pretty little thing?” He breathed out and I could have climaxed right there and then.

I wasn’t supposed to sleep with him. I am straight or maybe was... Hell, I wasn’t even supposed to meet him until one drunken night changed everything. I had no idea who he was. He had no idea I was the brother of the woman he was about to be engaged to. We touched. We kissed. I let him take everything from me. And then I woke up… and realized he wasn’t just any guy. He was Dante Cruz. The heir. The man I'm now forced to work for. Now, I’m stuck pretending like last night never happened. He’s engaged to my sister. And I’m still trying to remember how to breathe every time he looks at me like he wants to taste me all over again. I said it was a mistake. He said I didn’t stop him. One of us is lying.
