Victor Alvares—ang malamig at walang-awang CEO ng isa sa pinakamalalaking kumpanya sa bansa. Isang pangalan na sapat na para manginig ang buong siyudad. Sa isang salita niya, bumabagsak ang mga negosyo; sa isang desisyon, nasisira ang mga reputasyon. Ngunit sa kabila ng kapangyarihang iyon, may isang laban siyang natalo—ang panatilihin ang babaeng minsang naging mundo niya. Si Elera Alvares, ang ex-wife niyang kasing talino at kasing-yaman niya sa industriya, ay ang babaeng iniwan niya sa katahimikan kapalit ng ambisyon. Trabaho ang pinili ni Victor, at sa bawat gabing wala siya, unti-unting naubos ang pagmamahal ni Elera—hanggang sa tuluyan itong bumitaw. “I’ll do anything to make you mine again, Elera—and I’ll make sure of that.” Handa siyang gawin ang lahat—gamitin ang kapangyarihan, impluwensya, at kahit ang sarili niyang dilim—para mabawi ang loob ni Elera at mapasakanya muli. Sa muling pagharap nila sa isa’t isa, magsisimula ang isang laban. Isang laban kung makukuha niya pang muli ang babaeng mahal niya, o kung ang galit at tensyon ang tuluyang mananaig at wawasak sa pagitan nila.

Kehidupan Wa Lang di Bumi berakhir sia-sia. Miskin, sendirian, dan terlupakan. Kematiannya pun tak mulia. Namun, ternyata menjadi awal mimpi buruk baru.

They named me Rose, but they forgot one thing: every rose comes with thorns. And mine are finally sharp enough to draw blood. In my past life, I was the fool who mistook a snake for a husband and a vulture for a best friend. I let them poison my father, steal my inheritance, and lock me away in a damp basement to rot while I was six months pregnant.

Three months before my wedding, I found my fiancé buried deep inside my maid of honor. ​I gave Leo five years of my life. I ironed his shirts, managed his stress, and sacrificed my own dreams to build our perfect future. My reward? Standing in the doorway of our bedroom, listening to him call me "boring" while he ruined our bed with my best friend. ​Shattered, humiliated, and completely alone, I ran out into the freezing, torrential rain with nothing but the clothes on my back. I thought my life was over. I thought I had hit rock bottom. ​Until a massive black umbrella blocked out the storm, and a heavy, expensive suit jacket was draped over my trembling shoulders. ​Alexander. Leo’s incredibly wealthy, terrifyingly ruthless Godfather. ​He is older. Untouchable. The most feared man in the city and the patriarch who controls Leo’s entire inheritance. He is the ultimate forbidden fruit. ​He didn't look at me with pity as I sat bleeding and broken on the pavement. He looked at me with a dark, consuming hunger that made my breath hitch. Kneeling in the wet street, he wiped a tear from my jaw and whispered a promise that would change my life forever: ​"Tell me who did this to you, and I will ruin his life by morning." ​I only wanted a place to dry off. I only wanted a little bit of revenge. I never meant to let him back me against the marble counters of his penthouse. I never meant to crave his rough hands, his possessive growls, or the intoxicating danger of his bed. ​If Leo’s family finds out, it will destroy Alexander’s empire. ​But once the Godfather claims you... there is no going back.
