"Once you touch me, you're mine!" Yan ang mariin kong sinabi sa fiancé ng stepsister ko. Ako si Grace Cutanda, 25 years old — isang babaeng walang pakialam sa mga taong nasasaktan ko. Mas pinili kong maging matigas at walang puso dahil 'yan ang nagligtas sa akin mula sa mga mapanlinlang na tao. Nagbago ang lahat nang magpakasal ang aking dad sa isang oportunistang babae. Sa isang iglap, ang tahimik naming buhay ay napuno ng kasinungalingan at pagkukunwari. Kasama niya ang anak niyang tila perpektong babae sa mata ng lahat — si Bianca. Pero alam ko ang totoo. Sa likod ng kanyang mala-anghel na mukha ay isang babaeng sanay mang-agaw at manira. Hindi siya nagdalawang-isip na ipakita kung paano siya paborito ng lahat, habang ako ang laging nasa tabi, tila isang anino. At ngayon, ang fiancé niyang si Andrew — isang successful na businessman na may mapanuksong titig at nakakapanghinang presensya — ay parang isang gantimpala na ipinagyayabang niya. Pero sa tuwing nagtatama ang mga mata namin ni Andrew, para bang may lihim na pagnanasa at pagtataksil na bumabalot sa pagitan namin. Alam kong mali. Pero bakit tila ako ang mas nanaisin niyang piliin? At sa huling pagkakataon, binalaan ko siya. "Once you touch me, you're mine." Ngunit handa ba akong akuin ang mga magiging konsekwensya ng mga salitang binitiwan ko?
