But whatever his persona is, his only desire is to hunt down the mastermind of his family's massacre and find the woman he loves. Lee Hyun-woo, known as Baek Chang Seol, the heartless and ruthless mafia boss of the "Diamond Kkhangpae," has three rules: strict obedience, absolute loyalty, and compliance with extreme punishment for transgression. No one has seen his face, for he always wears a mask, and so he can only be identified by a three-diamond tattoo on his left arm. Jeong Hyeo-ri, in her new identity as Park So-hee, became an undercover agent, skilled in martial arts who went back to South Korea to avenge her father's death and find her mother, who went missing seven years ago. After Jeong Hyeo-ri performed an undercover operation, the "Diamond Kkhangpae" caught her and brought her to the mafia boss. Knowing how skilled she was, Lee Hyun-woo wanted her to work for him, but she would only accept it if he would reveal his true identity. Lee Hyun-woo accepted the challenge on one condition—she had to defeat him in a duel. But what if the so-called duel ends up in bed; would it change everything?

WARNING: SSPG Ang mismong araw na nahuli kong may kinakamang iba ang fiancee ko, ay ang araw na nawala sa akin ang lahat. My grandfather and fiancé betrayed me for the same reason; my half-sister. Kaya naman nagpakalayo ako at nakontento sa isang normal na buhay. Not until I met him... the famous business tycoon, and my rival. Killian Stanislav. He's the CEO of the Thompson Enterprise's rival company. Killian offered me a deal. A contracted deal and that's to be a spy inside my grandfather's company and to be his acting lover. In exchange, ay makakamit ko ang paghihiganti na gusto kong gawin sa mga trumaydor sa akin. It's a win-to-win deal, but little did I know... na kasama pala roon ay ang pagsilbihan siya sa kama. Pero tinanggap ko pa rin, dahil alam kong wala nang mas maganda pang opportunity kesa dito. Pero mayroon kaming isang kasunduan sa kung saan, ako ang talo. During the process of our contract, kapag nabuntis ako ay ipapalaglag ko ang bata sa ayaw o sa gusto ko, dahil kung hindi—the contract will immediately get cancelled. I accepted it again, being certain na hindi ako mabubuntis. But I did. Nabuntis ako, pero ayaw kong malaman niya, natatakot akong pilitin niya akong ipalaglag ang bata—so in the end. I packed my things and left. Without telling him anything at sinakripisyo ang revenge na noong una ay gusto kong gawin kaya nakipagkasundo ako sa kaniya. Pero paano na lang kapag magkita ulit kami? Ano na lang ang mangyayari kapag nalaman niyang itinago ko ang anak niya? May tyansa pa kayang maayos ang relasyon naming dalawa? O tuluyan na itong mababaon sa limot, gaya ng nakaraan kong ayaw ko nang ungkatin pa.

Noah's Pov: "Ready ka na, iho?" tanong sa'kin ni mama nang makababa ako sa hagdanan ng bahay namin. "Uh..huh!" sagot ko agad. Isasama niya daw ako sa party ng kaibigan niya at ipapakilala ako sa mga kaibigan nito na matagal niya nang gustong gawin. Bihira lang kasi ako dito sa Pilipinas. Madalas ay pinagbabakasyon lang ako ni papa kaya ako narito sa Pilipinas. Kadarating pa lang namin sa party when i saw this girl, she had a very adorable and innocent look. I was only ten pero pakiramdam ko ay bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko pagkakita ko pa lamang sa kan'ya. "Karina Villafuerte," tawag ng isang batang babaeng nagbeso sa kan'ya. She had a distinctive and unique appearance even at a young age with her genuine smile and a playfull expression, which i found endearing. She's wearing a white long gown with a big ribbon on the back of her gown. She's like a princess with that flower crown on her hair. Nagpatiim-bagang ako nang makitang ngumiti siya sa batang lalakeng lumapit sa kan'ya. Tss! mas gwapo ako d'yan! I was about to walk away nang makaisip ng paraan para mapansin niya ako. Mabilis akong naglakad papunta sa likod niya. Patay malisya kong inapakan ang nakalaylay niyang gown na ikinalingon niya bigla. Damn! Did i hear a ripping sound? Lagot na! ang balak ko lang ay apakan ang gown niya para mapansin niya ako. Pero hindi ko gustong mapunit iyon. "Oh my God! What did you do?" halos mamutla ako sa tanong niya. Oh, great! You really did a great job! You've got her attention: now what? Akala ko ay hahampasin ako nito ngunit bigla na lang itong naupo sa harap ko at tahimik na umiyak.
