Tahimik akong gumagalaw sa opisina habang pinapanood ang mga kasamahan kong halos sambahin ang malamig, makapangyarihan, at walang pusong CEO—si Evander de la Cruz. Para sa kanila, siya ang lalaking hindi kailanman bababa sa antas ng isang tulad ko. Pero ang hindi nila alam… asawa ko siya. Isang taon na mula nang ikasal kami nang palihim. Sa harap ng lahat, ako’y parang alipin lang ng trabaho, at siya nama’y boss na ni hindi ako pinapansin. Pero sa likod ng saradong pintuan ng kanyang opisina, nagbabago ang lahat. Doon, siya ang lalaking sabik sa aking haplos, handang lumuhod para lamang maramdaman ang init ng aking pagmamahal. Pinili kong itago ang aming kasal upang patunayan na kaya kong magsikap gamit ang sarili kong pangalan.

Sa gitna ng mga lihim, tukso, at laban sa kapangyarihan, isa lang ang malinaw: kapag ang malamig na CEO ay umibig, hindi siya uurong sa digmaan. At ako ang dahilan ng digmaang iyon.

We’ve been working hard and tirelessly to make this happen but dreams don’t come cheap. Jake has a good job, but me? Not so much.
