Limang taon na ang lumipas nang durugin ni Elly Panganiban ang puso ni Carl Montesantos at lisanin ang billionaire world nito. Ginawa niya ito upang protektahan si Carl, kapalit ng isang lihim: ang kanilang kambal na anak, sina Liam at Lia—ang lihim na bunga ng pag-ibig na kailangan niyang itanggi. Ngayon, napilitan si Elly na magtrabaho sa Montesantos Holdings, ang imperyo ng kanyang Billionaire Ex na si Carl. Ang pag-ibig ay napalitan ng matinding pagkamuhi at paghihiganti. Araw-araw, sinisiguro ni Carl na maramdaman ni Elly ang pait ng pag-iwan, tinatawag siyang "walang-kwenta" at "basura" sa trabaho. Mas lumala ang sitwasyon sa presensya ni Sharon Montemayor, ang fiancée ni Carl, at ni Theo Ramos, na nagpaalab ng selos sa Bilyonaryo. Sa gitna ng tensyon, nagbigay ng walang-awang kasinungalingan si Elly: "patay na" ang ama ng kambal. Ngunit ang lahat ng galit at paghihiganti ni Carl ay guguho sa isang iglap! Sa Lobby ng kumpanya, nakita ni Carl ang kanyang anak na si Liam. Ang bata, na eksaktong kopya niya at may matatalim na asul na mata, ay sumigaw ng katotohanan: Siya ang ama! Hindi siya namatay! Dinoble ang kanyang pamilya! Ang mga mata ni Carl ay biglang nagbago, mula sa poot tungo sa pag-angkin at walang-sawang possessiveness! Simula na ng giyera! Paano itatago ni Elly ang lihim kung ang Bilyonaryong Ex, na ngayo'y nag-aapoy sa galit, ay handa nang angkinin ang kanyang dugo at lahi?!
