Hindi ko kailanman inakala na ang isang pagkakamali ay magdadala sa akin sa mundo ng mafia—isang mundong puno ng kapangyarihan, kasalanan, at lihim. Ako si Freya Alcantara, ang anak ng isang makapangyarihang pamilya na matagal ko nang tinakasan. Rebelde ako, matapang, at handang lumaban para sa sarili kong kalayaan. Pero lahat ng iyon ay nagbago nang makilala ko si Torren Villanueva—ang lalaking kinatatakutan ng buong underworld. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. Ganito siya kilala ng lahat. Pero sa akin… iba ang tingin niya. Mula sa unang sandaling nagtagpo ang aming mga mata, may kakaibang tensyon na hindi ko maipaliwanag. Para bang may lihim siyang desisyon na ginawa tungkol sa akin—at wala akong say sa bagay na iyon. Torren is a man who always gets what he wants.

Pinilit niya akong manatili sa mundo niya—isang mundong puno ng panganib, kapangyarihan, at mga lihim na hindi dapat malaman ng kahit sino. Kahit galit ako sa kanya, kahit pilit kong nilalabanan ang kontrol niya… hindi ko maitatanggi ang kakaibang hatak na nararamdaman ko sa bawat titig at bawat salita niya.

At ang pinaka-nakakatakot na katotohanan? Hindi ko na alam kung gusto ko pa bang makawala sa kanya… o kung unti-unti na rin akong nahuhulog sa lalaking maaaring sisira sa akin.
