Ikakasal na rin naman ako, bakit hindi ko pa hayaan ang sarili kong sulitin ang gabi na 'to dahil kinaumagahan pag-aari na ako ng iba. "Laze," matipid na tawag ko sa kaniya. "Hindi mo na ako gusto, 'di ba?" Kwestyon ko na ikinatigil niya. "Hindi na." Sagot niya kaya mapait akong ngumiti at tsaka ako tumayo. "I am a horrible woman, Laze. You'll hate me after this, your girl might even curse me to death but I don't care. I want to play," nangunot ang noo niya habang nakatingin sa akin na nakatayo sa bandang harapan niya. "What? Are you gonna kill me?" Nakangisi niyang sabi at naguguluhan, pero tinitigan ko ang mukha niya at tsaka ko pinantayan 'yon. "I'm going to do the things I'm not good at," binasa ko ang labi at tsaka ko sinunggaban ang labi niya, dahil sa ginawa ko ay napasandal pa siya sa wall. Ipinikit ko ang mata at lakas loob na nanatili sa pwesto ko ngunit nang maramdaman ko ang pag awang ng labi niya ay hindi ko na alam ang gagawin kaya napapahiya akong hinawakan ang pisngi niya. Bago pa man ay natigilan ako humiwalay siya at hindi ako makapaniwalang tinitigan, "This is cheating Hakuna Miran," hindi makapaniwalang sabi niya. I know, I know it well. Napatitig ako sa labi niya tsaka ako ngumisi, "That's why I called my self horrible." Seryoso ang mukha niya at tsaka siya tumikhim at umayos ng upo. Parang hindi makapaniwala sa inasta ko, "Do you hate me now?" Ang malamlam niyang mata ay tumitig sa mata ko. Napatitig ako sa kaniya ng dahan dahan siyang tumango, "Yes." That pierced my heart.

I hired him to shatter his father's heart. He trapped me in his bed to break my rules. Isang luxury resort. Isang mamahaling singsing sa ibabaw ng mesa. At isang masakit na panloloko. Akala ni Lysandra Albrecht, sa kaniya ang singsing na iyon—isang pangako mula sa kaniyang bilyonaryong kasintahan na si Garrick. Ngunit gumuho ang lahat nang makita niya itong may pagnanasang humahalik sa legal nitong asawa. Lysandra was never his future. Siya ay nanatiling isang maruming sikreto sa dilim. Binalot ng matinding poot at uhaw sa ganti, hinukay ni Lysandra ang pinakamalaking alas ng lalaki: ang kaniyang 22-year-old na anak, si Dixon Hawthorne. Isang billionaire heir na may mapanganib na titig, lethal confidence, at matitigas na anim na hiwa ng abs na tila ginawa para sa mga makasalanang gabi. Naglapag si Lysandra ng kontrata at pera sa harap ni Dixon. Isang pekeng relasyon para durugin ang dangal ng ama nito. Ang batas niya? Strictly business. Walang totoong haplos. No kissing. Ngunit nagkamali si Lysandra ng kinalabang leon. Dixon doesn't play by the rules; he dictates them. Seductive, wild, at laging gutom sa kaniyang balat, binuwag ni Dixon ang bawat harang ni Lysandra gamit ang isang mapang-angkin at dahan-dahang dominasyon. Habang nagpapanggap na masayang pamilya ang mga magulang nito sa ibaba, nagniningas naman sa wild at walang prenong pagnanasa sina Lysandra at Dixon sa loob ng penthouse. Nang malaman ng pamilya ang nakaraan ni Lysandra at piliting ipakasal si Dixon sa iba, susuko na sana siya. Ngunit hinarangan siya ni Dixon gamit ang sports car nito, sabay kabig sa nanginginig niyang katawan dikit sa nag-aapoy nitong dibdib. "I know her past. At poprotektahan ko siya—kahit laban sa inyo." Tapos na ang laro. Dahil walang balak pakawalan ni Dixon ang kaniyang pinakamasarap na addiction mula sa kaniyang kama at kaniyang buhay.
