“You clawed your way into this position, Arniya. Now sit there like a good girl”- Nathaniel Verano. ~ “Let me take you away from all this. You don’t belong in their cage.” - David Sev Calderon. ~ "Everyone has their agenda. I just know how to play their tricks” – Arniya Belle Santillan. ~ Arniya Belle Santillan thought she had her future figured out. Arrange marriage with Nathan Verano, the man she once looked at with nothing but love, she believed she was walking into a life of stability—maybe even happiness. But the more time passes, the more Nathan starts to feel like a stranger. Cold. Controlling. The kind of man who only cares about keeping his family's image spotless, no matter the cost. Trapped in an engagement she no longer wants and expected to play the perfect fiancée to a man she barely recognizes, Arniya starts to lose herself. Then, she meets David—a man with a quiet intensity, and his reasons for hating the Veranos. He offers her something no one else ever has: a way out. But it comes with a catch. Now, Arniya is torn between the life she’s always known and the unknown path David opens for her. Can she risk everything to break free and take back control of her life, or will she end up stuck in a world that’s always told her who she should be?

Sa mata ng lahat, parating pinapagalitan ni David si Helena—his ever so "clumsy" secretary. Pero ang hindi nila alam, hindi naman talaga dahil sa trabaho kung bakit siya parating pinapatawag ni David sa opisina. They’re actually fuck buddies, and Helena doesn’t mind. Kasi kahit bawal, mahal niya si David. Pero isang araw, out of nowhere, sinabi ni David na tapos na sila. Just like that. Wala nang paliwanag, except sa isang bagay na nagpasakit lalo sa puso ni Helena. Ikakasal na siya. At parang hindi pa sapat ‘yon, nalaman ng mommy ni David ang tungkol sa kanila, at kinuha lahat ng meron si Helena. Ang bahay na bigay ni David? Wala na. Ang stability niya? Wala na rin. So wala siyang choice kundi lumayo at kalimutan ang lahat. Pero paano niya kakalimutan kung may iniwan sa kanya si David? She’s pregnant. Years later, nakabangon na rin siya, ready na to start fresh with a man na tanggap siya at ang anak niya. Pero ang plot twist? Ang fiancé niya… half-brother ni David! Anong gagawin niya ngayong muli silang pinagtagpo ng lalaking pilit niyang tinatakasan? Is this fate… or just another heartbreak waiting to happen?
