Three years ago, on what was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, Lynell Gibbs was left completely broken. It was her 20th birthday — a day she had been so excited for — but instead of candles and wishes, she got heartbreak. Shaun Hernandez, the guy she loved with all her heart, broke up with her. No fight, no warning. Just a simple, cold explanation: “Nagising na lang daw siya at narealize na hindi na niya ito mahal.” Those words haunted her for years. And no matter how strong she tried to be, the pain left a scar too deep to forget. But she survived. She stood up, rebuilt herself piece by piece, and slowly became the woman she never thought she could be — stronger, wiser, and even more beautiful. Gone was the naïve girl who gave everything to someone who didn’t deserve her. She had learned her lesson. She moved forward and opened her heart again. That’s when Martin came into her life — kind, respectful, and everything Shaun wasn’t. For the first time, she felt safe. Finally, she believed she had healed. Until one unexpected announcement shattered her peace. Their company was under new management. At first, she didn’t think much of it — change was normal. But everything came crashing down the moment she heard the name of their new CEO. Shaun Hernandez. The same man who once tore her apart... was now her boss.

In a world where power is measured by blood and betrayal, I thought love had no place. Then I met Raphael. Ruthless, commanding, and utterly captivating, he dragged me into his dark world, a place where enemies lurk in every shadow and danger is the only constant. But there’s more to my story than the whirlwind romance with a man like Raphael. I’m the last heir of the De Luca family—a legacy I didn’t even know I carried. A legacy cursed by a pact made long before I was born. The more I learn about my family’s past, the more I realize that my connection to Raphael isn’t a coincidence. It’s a ticking time bomb. Martin, Raphael’s greatest enemy, knows who I am. To him, I’m not just a woman. I’m a weapon—a means to destroy everything Raphael has built. As war ignites between them, I uncover secrets about myself I’m not sure I want to face. Supernatural abilities. A curse with a cost too terrible to imagine. And a choice that could save Raphael’s life… or destroy everything we both hold dear. In the end, love may not be enough. But if I have to fight to protect Raphael and break the chains of my family’s curse, then I will. Even if it means losing everything. Including myself.
