Bilang panganay na anak ng isa sa mga pinakakilalang negosyante sa buong bansa, hindi kailanman inakala ni Serene Isla Alonte na masasasangkot siya sa isang iskandalo, isang gabing puno ng pagnanasa kasama ang lalaking hindi man lang niya kilala! At ang mas masahol pa, ang isang gabi na iyon ang naging dahilan ng lahat. Nabuntis siya, at dahil doon, tinanggal siya ng ama sa posisyon bilang legitimate heiress at pinalayas mula sa kanilang tahanan. Lumipas ang ilang taon mula nang umalis siya patungo sa ibang bansa. Ngayon, bumalik si Serene sa Pilipinas kasama ang kanyang kambal na anak upang magsimula ng bagong buhay. Ngunit hindi niya inaasahan na muling babalik ang bangungot ng kanyang nakaraan nang makilala niyang muli si Ethan Davison, ang lalaking walang kamalay-malay na sumira sa kanyang buhay noon, at ngayon ay isa sa pinakamayamang negosyante sa Pilipinas! At ang pinakamasaklap pa, si Ethan na ngayon ang magiging boss niya sa opisina! “Mr. Ethan Asher Davison, please mind your behavior in the office!” mariing sabi ni Serene habang matalim ang kanyang tingin. Napangisi ang lalaki, halatang naaaliw sa reaksyon ng babae. “This is my company. Tell me, who can stop me, Serene, hmm?” sagot ni Ethan na may halong mapang-asar na ngiti. Ramdam ni Serene ang unti-unting pagbalik ng tensyon sa pagitan nila, ang tensyong ilang taon na niyang pilit nilimot. Ngunit ngayong muli silang nagtagpo, tila muling nabubuhay ang apoy na matagal na niyang pinatay sa kanyang puso. Si Ethan na ba ang magiging gamot sa sugatang puso ni Serene gayong isa rin ito sa dahilan kung bakit siya nasaktan noon?

I quit and dipped. City threw a parade. Only Jenna Blake—my oh-so-gifted junior who claimed she could "see through killers' eyes"—lost it. At her celebration banquet, she went full drama queen: "I owe everything to Kate Mercer. Please, bring her back!" I laughed. Cold. Not happening. Last time around, I was the hotshot detective. But every clue I found? She dropped it first like she read my mind. People started saying I was washed. So I went all in—three months, no sleep, cracked a massive trafficking ring. Led the raid myself. She beat me there. Again. Place was cleaned out. Boom. She's the city's golden girl. I'm the clown with no game. Pressure got ugly. My head snapped. I died chasing the last scumbag. Then—bam. I woke up. Same day. Raid morning. Round two.

The day I found out I was pregnant with my second child, the impossible happened: the baby in my womb spoke. "Stupid sister, are you even listening? Mom said that as soon as you graduate, she's selling you off. That money is for my future wedding!" My daughter went still. She didn't say a word, didn't confront me, didn't even cry. She just quietly applied to study abroad. And from that day on, I never heard from her again. My husband, seeing how devastated I was, moved to comfort me. But the baby's voice cut through the silence once more. "Comfort her? You're the biggest fool in this house! When I'm born, I'm not calling you 'Dad.' My real dad is that handsome guy from the bar!" The color drained from Sean's face. Before I could utter a word of explanation, he dragged me straight to the hospital for a paternity test. The results came back quickly—my best friend had pulled some strings to expedite them. And there it was, in cold, clinical print: NO PATERNITY BIOLOGICALLY ESTABLISHED. He didn't let me speak. He filed for divorce immediately. In a panic, the baby's voice cried out from inside me again, "Why is the idiot backing out now? Did he finally figure out Mom tricked him? The one who saved his life all those years ago wasn't her—it was her best friend!" That one sentence shattered my entire world. My husband turned his back on me and married my best friend. As for me… the shock and grief hit me like a physical blow. I felt a hot, sudden gush of blood. Before the doctors could save me, I died on that cold hospital bed, my hands clutching my swollen belly, my mind still reeling, unable to comprehend how my life had unraveled so completely. It wasn't until I was reborn, and once again heard the treacherous little voice inside me, that I finally began to understand the truth.

It's 11:30 pm. Home alone, I decide to order some takeout. When the map shows the delivery guy is zero miles away, I receive a call from him. I pick up, only to hear unsettling silence from the other end. I hang up, annoyed. The next moment, the guy texts me, "Sorry, I'm hearing-impaired and unable to speak. I called to notify you to pick up your food as soon as possible. I can't explain things over the phone, and I apologize for that." Then comes another text. "You must've been waiting for a long time. I've left your order at your door, so please pick it up as soon as you can." Just as I prepare to open the door, I see bars of live comments—reminiscent of livestream chats—floating right before my eyes. "Don't open the door! That dude isn't a delivery guy at all! He's a murderer!" "He called you to check if you're a woman living alone!" "Seriously, why are all thriller story protagonists always so dumb? The delivery guy is obviously suspicious, yet she still wants to open the door."
