"Jackson, Pakiusap lumingon ka. Nandito ako!" My eyes cried out for help, even in my helplessness, but no one turned around.

But her seemingly perfect life with Jackson Park, the heir to Astine Corporation, was nothing more than a cruel illusion created by her greedy family.

She gave her body and soul to the man who saved her… never knowing he was the one who slaughtered her family. ​Tanya Vanne Sevilla ay namumuhay sa isang gintong hawla. She looks like a goddess with her brown wavy hair and pale skin—isang kagandahan na naging paboritong obsession ni Thaddeus Hardin. Nang maulila siya sa isang tragic accident, tinanggap niya ang kamay ng kanyang Uncle Thad. He sheltered her inside Hardin State, at sa loob ng isang taon, ang kanilang ugnayan ay lumagpas sa moral na limitasyon. It started in the library, leading to intense, secret encounters bilang pabuya sa matataas niyang marka. She was completely devoted, giving him her body and soul. ​But beneath the passionate nights lies a sickening truth. ​Tanya is the daughter of his older adopted sister—and the spawn of the man Thaddeus loathes the most. Hindi alam ng dalaga na ang "Hero" na sinasamba niya ay ang mismong demonyong pumatay sa kanyang pamilya. At ang mas matindi? Kamukhang-kamukha niya ang yumaong asawa ni Thaddeus na si Anthonia, na pinatay ng sarili niyang ama sampung taon na ang nakakaraan. For Thaddeus, Tanya is a twisted form of sweet revenge... and an undeniable addiction. ​Ngayong nagbabalik ang nakaraan sa katauhan ni Victoria—isang elite assassin at ex-lover ni Thaddeus—kasabay ng pagpasok ng cold-blooded right hand man na si Aodhan, a.k.a. "The Reaper," bilang bodyguard sa school ni Tanya, unti-unti nang nayayanig ang kanilang mundo. ​Bawat hawak ni Thaddeus ay papatindi nang papatindi, driven by the terrifying fear of losing her... just like how he lost Anthonia. ​Malalaman kaya ni Tanya ang madugong katotohanan? paano niya matatakasan ang nag-iisang lalaking nagmamay-ari sa kanya—ngayong ang paghihiganti ni Thaddeus ay naging isang baliw na obsesyon? ​“She really looks like Anthonia... It's like she rose from the dead.”
