But one fateful night at an elite party, where she worked as a part-time server, everything changed as she caught the intense eyes of a stranger—a man whose allure was impossible to resist. And against her better judgment, she broke that rule of hers, surrendering to a night of passion and desire that left her breathless. But when she woke up in the morning, the bed was empty, and the stranger was gone, leaving Billy with nothing but memories of that night. Weeks later, she discovered the consequences of that night: she was pregnant. With no clue, and no way to find that stranger, she braced herself to face motherhood alone. Months passed, and Billy landed another job—serving at the engagement party of one of the city’s most powerful billionaires.

As their shared desire reignites, the boundaries of their lives blur. But with secret and lies threatening to destroy them, Billy and Marcus must confront the question: Was their night of passion a fleeting mistake, or the start of something far more dangerous?

“Huwag ka ng umasa na tatanggapin pa kita ulit. Dahil hindi ko masisikmurang magmahal ng isang tulad mong may dugong kriminal.” Si Rocky Bouchard ay isang ulila sa Canada na inampon ng mag-asawang Mary at Roen Bouchard noong sampung taong gulang pa lamang. Hindi nila alam kung sino ang tunay na magulang ni Rocky dahil wala rin naman itong maikwento sa kanila sa tuwing tinatanong nila. Kalaunan, naging legal na Bouchard si Rocky na siyang lumaki sa isang mayaman at respetadong pamilya sa Canada. Pagkalipas ng ilang taon ay isa na siyang successful na corporate lawyer. Sa hindi inaasahan, nahulog ang loob niya sa pamangkin ng kanyang foster mom na siyang nakatadhana na rin sa iba. Napagdesisyunan niyang ibaon na lamang sa limot ang nararamdaman at mag-focus sa career. Sa kabilang banda, si Cristianna Erica Rowanda ay lumaking breadwinner simula noong hindi na bumalik mula sa Canada ang OFW niyang ama. Wala na silang naging balita rito na para bang naglaho gaya ng isang bula. Dahil dito, kinailangan niyang magtrabaho para mabigyan ng magandang buhay ang pamilya niya. Sa kasamaang palad, siya ay napagbintangang magnanakaw ng pera ng kumpanya na siyang naghatid sa kanya sa rurok ng kahirapan. Wala siyang kapera-pera dahil ang araw na inaasahan niyang unang sahod niya ay nauwi sa pagkakakulong. Nang kunin ni Rocky ang kanyang kaso, nagawa niya itong ipanalo at patunayan ang kainosentehan ni Cristianna. Gayunpaman, pagkatapos ng dalawang buwan ay muli silang nagkita bitbit ang kani-kanilang problema—si Cristianna na hindi makahanap ng trabaho at si Rocky na pressured ng parents na magkaroon ng asawa. Isang kontrata. Dalawang taon. Nag-iisang krimen na akala nila ay nabaon na sa limot. Magagawa kaya nilang ipanalo ang kanilang pagmamahal kung gayong ang dugo na nananalaytay sa kanilang katawan ay siyang hahatol sa isang ipinagbabawal na pag-ibig?

It all started with one encounter. One night with a man whose touch felt like sin and whose scent still haunts my skin. I never meant to fall — but when I caught my boyfriend, the Alpha’s son, cheating on me, something inside me broke. And that’s when he found me — a stranger cloaked in dominance and danger. His hands promised ruin, his lips whispered damnation. I gave in. Just once. Or so I thought. Now, I’ve been hired as the Alpha’s new secretary. And when I walked into his office, the world stopped. Because he’s not a stranger. He’s him. The man from that night. The man I should have never touched. The father of my ex. I tell myself I can resist him — that I can keep my secret buried. But every time his gaze lingers, every time that deep, commanding voice wraps around my name, my resolve burns away. This isn’t love. It's an obsession. Possession. Darkness disguised as desire. And I know one thing for sure — once an Alpha sets his eyes on you… He never lets go.
