I, Calista Summers, have been in a secret relationship with Vernon Grayson, the boss of the biggest mafia organization in Merdico for five years. To others, Vernon is the epitome of a perfect gentleman, cold yet aloof, attractive yet abstaining from women. With a net worth in the tens of billions, he holds a lot of power. He has also kept himself scandal-free since the start of time. However, not many know that I am his only exception. I am the team captain of the cheerleading squad at Duke City College. I am known to be brave, straightforward, and passionate about everything. Vernon is a whole decade older than I am. He is mature and dangerous, but those are the exact qualities that draw me to him every time. He always lets me rest my head in his lap while in the back of his limited-edition Rolls-Royce, kisses every inch of my body before the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, and takes my breath away in hidden toilet cubicles at major public charity galas. And every time, he's so gentle with me that I keep mistaking his doting on me as his love for me. Yet, he can also get cruel and merciless with me, making me beg and whine at his mercy. As for me, I was really falling for him because Vernon never lets any other woman get close to him. He chooses me every single time, and I believe that's what true love is. However, things change when his first love, Samara Horton, returns from Urop. Vernon starts showing me his cold, aloof side that leaves no room for argument. He stops being gentle with me, his mask falls away to reveal his true colors, and he no longer treats me as his equal who shares his world. At that moment, I finally realize that I am nothing more than a dirty secret he needs to keep hidden from the rest of the world. I am but a pawn that he can easily cast away at his convenience. I choose to put an end to our secret relationship altogether. I leave, taking nothing of his with me except for the baby in my womb. The baby is his heir, but he doesn't even know that he exists.

For seven years of marriage, my Alpha mate, Cassian Blackthorn, slept with thirty-two different women, every single one of them from my circle. I didn’t know how much longer I could endure it. Even when I was seven months pregnant, as I went to my prenatal check-ups alone, I kept enduring. Alas, disaster struck without warning. Cassian’s new fling, Sophia Corwin, led a pack of rogue wolves to ambush me. I clutched my belly with all my strength, begging Sophia to spare me and my child. She only sneered. "Ha. That wasn’t me. If you’re looking for the real culprit, go find them yourself." By the time a passerby found me and rushed me to the hospital, it was already too late. My baby… had died inside me. When my mother heard the news, her heart failed. She was gone, too. These two crushing blows left my world spinning. Hatred, grief, and fury rose inside me like a tidal wave, drowning everything else. Cassian’s father, Leon Blackthorn, came to the hospital to see me. Expressionless, I stared at him. "Let me go, Leon," I said in a raw and hoarse voice. "Whatever I owed you, I’ve paid it back in full."

"Love can be learned." Iyan ang paniniwala ni Seraphina. Kaya nang ipahayag ng kanyang mga magulang na ikakasal siya kay Sebastian Aldridge Singson—isang lalaking may yaman, kapangyarihan, ngunit walang emosyon—hindi siya tumutol. Sa isip niya, matutunan din nitong mahalin siya… balang araw. Ngunit ang kasal niya ay naging isang bilangguan. Kahit anong pagsisikap niyang makuha ang atensyon at pagmamahal ng kanyang asawa, nananatili itong malamig at walang pakialam. Isinilang ang kanilang anak, ngunit sa halip na maging daan upang mapalapit ang kanyang pamilya, mas lalong lumalim ang kanyang pagdurusa. Hindi lang siya itinuturing na estranghero ni Sebastian—pati ang sarili niyang anak ay may hinanakit sa kanya. Sa wakas, napagod si Seraphina sa laban na siya lang ang lumalaban. Sa unang pagkakataon, pinili niyang mahalin ang kanyang sarili. Iniwan niya ang buhay na puno ng sakit at hinanap ang kalayaang matagal niyang inasam. Ngunit sa kanyang muling pagsisimula, hindi niya inaasahan na ang lalaking minsang nagpaikot sa kanyang mundo ay siya ring maghahabol upang maibalik siya sa kanyang piling. Handa pa ba siyang bigyan ng pangalawang pagkakataon ang lalaking minsang bumasag sa kanyang puso? O tuluyan na niyang pipiliin ang isang bagong simula?
