Nang mamatay ang ama ni Maureen, halos gumuho ang mundo niya. Naiwan siyang mag-isa, at kasabay nito ay ang milyong-milyong utang na hindi kayang bayaran ng kanilang bahay o negosyo. Ang madrasta niyang ubod ng sama, na tila kamag-anak ni Lucifer, ay sinisi siya sa lahat ng kamalasan. Pinagbantaan pa siya nito na kung hindi makakapangasawa ng mayaman ay papalayasin siya nito, na ikinatakot niya, dahil wala na siyang ibang matatakbuhan. Parang pinagsakluban siya ng langit ng matanggal pa siya sa trabaho. Pero biglang nagbago ang lahat nang ipatawag siya ng boss niyang ubod ng lamig. Inalok siya ng kasal. “Marry me, I'll pay your debt and I'll introduce you to my family to be able to receive my heritage from them. Just contract marriage, no feelings involved, let's call it business.” Dalawa lang ang pagpipilian ni Maureen: maging palaboy o tanggapin ang alok. “Deal,” sagot niya.

Nagdadalawang‑isip pa siya kung tatanggapin na ba niya sa kanyang sarili na ang boss niyang nyebe ay mahal niya na o tatapusin niya na lang ang kontrata at magsisimulang mamuhay muli na walang boss na nyebe sa kanyang buhay.
