Hayaan mo lang akong mahalin ka kahit sa paraang tahimik." Hindi inakala ni Lorraine Sarmiento na ang bagong trabaho niya bilang executive assistant ng isang multi-billionaire CEO ang magpapabago sa takbo ng buhay niya. Si Alessandro “Sandro” Navarro—isang seryoso, tahimik, at imposibleng basahin na bilyonaryo—ay isang lalaking bihirang magpakita ng emosyon. Pero sa bawat tingin nito sa kan’ya, may tila bumabalot na tensyon. Parang may bigat. Parang may alaala. Hanggang sa isang araw, inalok siya nito ng kasal na labis kinabigla ni Lorraine. Hindi niya inaakalang gano’n kadesperadong makasal ang boss niya. Walang ligawan na nangyari. Walang paliwanag. Isang kontrata lang na may halong emosyon at sikreto. Sa pagdaan ng mga araw, natuklasan ni Lorraine ang dahilan kung ba’t siya inalok ng kasal ng boss niya. Iyon ay dahil kamukhang-kamukha niya ang namatay na fiancée ni Sandro. At ngayon, hindi niya alam kung siya ba talaga ang gusto nito o ang multo ng babaeng minahal nito ng sobra na matagal nang wala. Pero paano kung kailan natutong tumibok ang puso ni Sandro para sa kan'ya… saka naman ito nadulas sa mga palad niya at inangkin ng iba?
