"I'll make sure my kiss burns into you, driving you wild and haunting your dreams every night." Hinding-hindi makakalimutan ni Clein ang araw na iyon. Ang araw ng kasal ng bestfriend niya at ang araw rin kung kailan siya unang nabastos sa buong buhay niya. Akalain mong paglabas niya ng cr sa hotel ay may isang gwapo at matangkad na lalake ang humarang sa kaniya at nag-offer ng blank cheque para lamang maikama siya! Clein shredded the check and threw it in the man’s face. “He’s insane! Oh, my, I can’t believe those kind of men exist! Kahit guwapo siya ay wala akong pakialam! Ang bastos! Ang pangit rin ng ugali niya!” Humiling siya na sana ay hindi na niya muling makatagpo ang lalake ngunit pinaglalaruan talaga siya ng tadhana! She discovered the man was none other than Clauze Lexus Ravano, an arrogant billionaire with the world at his feet-and worse, he was a close friend of her boss.

How long could Clein resist when everything about Clauze drew her in, even the darkness beneath his intentions?

"Ano? Sa tingin mo ba, I’d fall for you if you sweet-talked me?" Anya ni Claire na sinamahan niya pa ng nakakadismayang iling. "I waited for you for five long years, Luke. Five years and now that I am finally over you and dating your best friend," dagdag niyang pailing iling ulit habang unti unting umaatras si Luke sa pader, "—you dare do this to me, wreaking havoc on my emotions? Gago ka ba talaga ha?!" "I can't stop myself. I love you and I won't give you up that easily, Claire. I won't. I can't." "I want you." "You know you can't have me," she murmured and bit her lips, begging him to kiss her. Just kiss the hell out of her para matauhan siya sa kahibangang nararamdaman niya ngayong yakap yakap siya ni Luke. "It’ll be risky if you stay another minute, Claire. Get out now before I lose my mind completely," he murmured between heavy breathing and gazing at her lips. A muscle in his jaw twitched, knowing full well that their close proximity made his blood warm and tingly. God, he wanted this woman so bad. Yes, he wanted her so much that he risked his friendship with Owen. And yes, he was insane for doing so.

"There is no alpha that weak as you." I couldn’t help but be offended by what he said. "Also, woman you shouldn't be fighting. Do you know where you fit in? At home, cleaning dirt inside your house." My fist turned to his face causing him to scream out loud. Don't you ever underestimate women like us. Because we can also fight. Because I’m disgusted with him, I pushed him causing him to fall on the cement. "You thought I’m weak? But I pushed you and knocked you down. You said you were an alpha. But why are you so weak?" I brought my face close to him causing him to swallow hard. "Try to insult me again. I can do even worse for you." I kissed the edge of his lip and slowly stood up.
