WARNING: SSPG Ang mismong araw na nahuli kong may kinakamang iba ang fiancee ko, ay ang araw na nawala sa akin ang lahat. My grandfather and fiancé betrayed me for the same reason; my half-sister. Kaya naman nagpakalayo ako at nakontento sa isang normal na buhay. Not until I met him... the famous business tycoon, and my rival. Killian Stanislav. He's the CEO of the Thompson Enterprise's rival company. Killian offered me a deal. A contracted deal and that's to be a spy inside my grandfather's company and to be his acting lover. In exchange, ay makakamit ko ang paghihiganti na gusto kong gawin sa mga trumaydor sa akin. It's a win-to-win deal, but little did I know... na kasama pala roon ay ang pagsilbihan siya sa kama. Pero tinanggap ko pa rin, dahil alam kong wala nang mas maganda pang opportunity kesa dito. Pero mayroon kaming isang kasunduan sa kung saan, ako ang talo. During the process of our contract, kapag nabuntis ako ay ipapalaglag ko ang bata sa ayaw o sa gusto ko, dahil kung hindi—the contract will immediately get cancelled. I accepted it again, being certain na hindi ako mabubuntis. But I did. Nabuntis ako, pero ayaw kong malaman niya, natatakot akong pilitin niya akong ipalaglag ang bata—so in the end. I packed my things and left. Without telling him anything at sinakripisyo ang revenge na noong una ay gusto kong gawin kaya nakipagkasundo ako sa kaniya. Pero paano na lang kapag magkita ulit kami? Ano na lang ang mangyayari kapag nalaman niyang itinago ko ang anak niya? May tyansa pa kayang maayos ang relasyon naming dalawa? O tuluyan na itong mababaon sa limot, gaya ng nakaraan kong ayaw ko nang ungkatin pa.
