Anastasia Celeste Montano — a secretive, manipulative, and ambitious wife of the number one business tycoon in the country — Frederick Maxwell Dominguez. Dahil sa kagustuhang umangat at makaahon sa kahirapan ay nagawang akitin ni Anastasia ang nag-iisang tagapagmana ng KeyStone Legacy Builder — isang kumpanya na siyang nangunguna sa bansa pagdating sa construction supplies. Ngunit lingid sa kaalaman ni Anastasia ay hindi lamang pala siya ang nagmamanipula sa mga nangyayari. Dahil sa kagustuhan ni Frederick na magustuhan ng ama at maipamana sa kanya nang tuluyan ang kumpanya ay pumayag siyang maikasal kay Anastasia kahit hindi niya naman talaga mahal ito, sa kadahilanang ang angkin nitong talino at galing sa lahat ng bagay ay lubos na makakatulong sa kanyang sariling pag-angat. Samantala, sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon ay nahulog ang loob nina Frederick at Anastasia sa isa’t isa sa kabila ng lahat ng pagpapanggap at lihim na kanilang itinatago sa bawat isa. Ngunit walang kasinungalingan ang hindi nabubunyag. Nalaman ni Frederick at ng kanyang pamilya na si Anastasia ay hindi pala nagmula sa mayamang pamilya dahilan upang kamuhian siya ng mga ito dahil sa kanyang ginawang panloloko, lalo na ng ina ni Fred na isang matapobre. At hindi rin nakaligtas ang pagbunyag ng isang sikretong tuluyang nakasira sa kanila. Nalaman ni Anastasia na ang nakababatang kapatid ni Frederick ay anak pala nito sa unang kasintahan. Naging sanhi ito ng kanilang paghihiwalay. Ngunit dahil sa tagal nilang naging magkasama ay napalapit na pala ang loob ng ina ni Fred kay Anastasia kung kaya’t siya mismo ang nagpumilit na makipagbalikan ang kanyang anak sa asawa nito. Maaari pa kayang maibalik ang relasyong nasira? O tuluyan na itong mawawala?

[Synopsis] Ryella was the lawyer who swore she would never cross the line. Vladimir was the billionaire mafia king who lived by breaking every law. Nang mapilitan ang ambisyosong abogada na si Ryella Cruz na ipagtanggol ang pinakamapanganib na tao sa lungsod, umaasa siyang isang matinding labanan lamang sa loob ng courtroom ang kanyang haharapin. Ngunit ang hindi niya inaasahan ay ang labanan sa kanyang kalooban—ang pang-akit ng kapangyarihan ni Vladimir, ang pagtuto ng kanyang pagdampi, at ang tukso ng isang mundo na isinumpa niyang hindi niya kailanman papasukin. Si Vladimir Valente ay walang awa, hindi mapipigilan, at lubos na na-obses. Para sa kanya, si Ryella ay higit pa sa kanyang depensa—siya ang kanyang premyo, ang kanyang obsesyon, ang kanyang ipinagbabawal na reyna. Ang bawat sulyap, bawat pabulong na pangako, at bawat mapanganib na halik ay naghila sa kanya nang mas malalim sa imperyo ng pagnanais ni Vladimir. Ngunit sa isang mundong binuo sa dugo at pagtataksil, ang pag-ibig ang pinakamapanganib na krimen sa lahat. Kailangang magpasya ni Ryella: ipaglalaban ba niya ang hustisya, o susuko sa lalaking kayang sirain ang kanyang karera, ang kanyang moralidad, at ang kanyang puso? Isang kontrata. Isang paglilitis. Isang obsesyon na maaaring sumunog sa kanilang dalawa. Maligayang pagdating sa Imperyo ng Pagnanais—kung saan ang passion ay isang sandata, at ang pagsuko ay ang sukdulang kasalanan.

I took a deep breath again and again as I finally knocked twice. And after a couple of minutes a baritone yet cold voice spoke. "Come in." My brows furrowed and my chest was pounding so loud when I heard Sir JR's voice. This is the first time he showed himself to us but... this was not the first time I met him. At sana wala rin siyang maalala pa. Pinilig ko ang ulo at pilit tinatanggal ang mga nasa isipan at dahan-dahang pinihit pabukas ang pinto. Biglang nanindig ang balahibo ko dahil sa lamig sa loob ng opisina ni Sir. "Hmm..." tumikhim ako upang agawin ang atensyon niya na nakatalikod mula sa akin at prenteng nakaupo sa swivel chair niya. "Good afternoon, Sir." I greeted politely. He stayed silently, he stayed in his place and he didn't respond to me. Hindi rin siya lumilingon kaya napakamot ako ng ulo. "Sir? What can I do for you? Is it because I'm late this morning? I'm sorry Sir, there's an emergency in our home, the reason why I'm late. I'm sorry." I explained but he remained silent. Dahan-dahan akong napayuko. Mukha ngang bad mood siya dahil hindi man lang lumilingon sa akin. "How old are you?" Wala pa sa isang segundo akong nag-angat ng tingin sa kaniya. "Hmmm, 24, Sir..." I answered lowly. "Married?" I swallowed as I responded. "No." "Single?" he asked again. "Opo." "Any relationship? Boyfriend? Ka live in?" "Wala po, Sir..." Pilit kong sinasagot ang mga tanong niya kahit alam kong confidential na iyon. Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit iyon ang naging binungad niya sa akin na hindi ko inaasahan. Nabalot kami ng katahimikan hanggang sa muli siyang magtanong na ikinamilog ng mga mata ko. "Virgin or not?" My mouth opened a bit 'coz of his inappropriate question.
