Two months after I died, it finally occurred to my parents that they'd forgotten to bring me back from their trip. My father scowled in frustration. "She was supposed to walk back herself. Does she really need to make such a big deal out of it?" My brother, ever smug, opened our chat and sent an emoji, along with a message. [You'd better die out there. That way, Scarlett and I will split Grandma's inheritance.] He received no reply. With a frosty expression, my mother said, "Tell her if she shows up for her grandmother's birthday on time, I'll let the whole pushing-Scarlett-into-the-water thing go." They never believed I hadn't made it out of those woods. After digging six feet into the ground, they finally found my bones deep in the forest.

Sabrina defends her mother after her father, lying lifeless on the floor, followed what Sabrina's mom ordered her to do with a gun in her hand. After hearing the police siren, her mother left her alone at the door with the gun in her left hand. As her mom says out, the police did not do anything to her, simply because she was a child. Even though they sent her to an orphanage, an older gentleman arrived and took her out, offering Sabrina to stay with his family at their mansion. Sabrina met the mafia's son but he walked away. He was always rude to her and he always pushed her away, but before his parents died, his father left him on a mission in order to protect Sabrina, even if he was the Mafia Bos's son.

One childhood crush. One unbreakable rule. One mansion where every hallway feels like a trap.

The billionaire who built an empire from nothing has spent the last six months trying to become a better man, and the shy girl in oversized hoodies who just moved into his guest wing is the most dangerous temptation he’s ever faced.

What begins as whispered confessions and almost-kisses explodes into a secret affair neither wants to end, even as the lies stack higher.

Noah must prove he’s finally ready to risk everything for the one woman he swore he’d never touch. Some rules are made to be broken. Some hearts refuse to stay forbidden.

Si Yana "Kelly" Reyes, medical graduate na maling inakusahan ng plagiarism at itinakwil ng sariling pamilya, ay tumatakbo sa kanyang nakaraan sa pamamagitan ng pagtatrabaho bilang nurse sa MS Pacifica, isang mamahaling cruise ship na naglalakbay mula sa Pilipinas patungo sa Europa. Si Kapitan Lucas "Alex" Montenegro, ang matapang, gwapo, ngunit lubhang misteryosong pinuno ng barko, ay una nang nagdududa kay Yana — akala niya ay isang espiya o mandaraya. Ngunit habang nakikita niya ang kanyang katapatan sa pag-aalaga ng mga pasyente at tapang na harapin ang sunud-sunod na kakaibang pangyayari sa barko (misteryosong sakit, nawawalang gamot, pati na rin ang mga nakakatakot na "aksidente"), unti-unting nahuhumaling si Alex sa kanya. Habang mas malalim na iniimbestigahan ni Yana ang mga kaganapan, natuklasan niya ang isang malawak na sabwatan na kinasasangkutan ng mga mayayamang negosyante, pulitiko, at maging ang sariling pamilya ng barko — isang sabwatan na hindi lang nasa MS Pacifica, kundi may malalim na ugnayan sa kanyang sariling iskandalo noon. Kasama si Alex, na may sariling nakaraan na kinasasangkutan din ng sabwatan, kailangan nilang harapin ang panganib, linisin ang kanilang mga pangalan, ilantad ang buong katotohanan, at ipaglaban ang isang ipinagbabawal na pag-ibig na maaaring magbago ng lahat ng kanilang alam.
