Masaya na at kuntento kahit naghihirap sa buhay ang dalagang si Janiya. Para sa kanya, lahat ay makakaya at malalagpasan niya basta't kasama niya ang kaisa-iss na lang niyang pamilya- ang Papa Crisanto niya. Pero paano kung isang araw, bigla na lang siyang iwan ng pinakamamahal niyang ama? Iniwan siya nito nang wala kahit maayos na paalam man lang. Iniwan siya nito nang walang kahit ano maliban sa isang pirasong papel kung saan nakasulat ang dalawang address ng mga lugar na hindi niya alam. Isa na roon ang lugar na tinawag nitong "Mansion de Castillejos". Doon umano nakatira ang matalik na kaibigang babae ng ama niya- si Yvonne. Ngunit nang marating na niya ang mansiyon, isang nakakagulat na rebelasyon ang sumampal sa kanya- dalawang taon na palang patay ang babaeng pakay niya. At ang tanging naiwan nito sa mansiyon ay ang katulong na si Gervacia at ang nag-iisa nitong anak na lalaki, si Strike Vicencio o "SV"- isang kilalang CEO hindi lang dahil sa kagwapuhang taglay nito kundi lalo na sa pagiging enigmatiko at misteryoso- na walang pagdadalawang-isip na inako ang pangangalaga sa kanya pansamantala habang hindi pa bumabalik ang ama niya. Ano ang nakatakdang mangyari sa pagsasama nila ng binata sa iisang bubong? At paano kung unti-unti ay makaramdam siya ng pagtatangi sa lalaki? Lalabanan ba niya ang sariling nararamdaman o ipaglalaban at gagawin niya ang lahat para maangkin ang supladong bilyonaryo, kahit na sampung taon ang agwat ng edad nila sa isa't-isa at nalalapit na rin itong ikasal sa iba?

Si Phoebe Concepcion ay isang babaeng nawalan na ng pag-asa. Matapos silang palayasin ng kanyang ama kasama ang kanyang ina at mga kapatid na babae, inakala niyang makakabuo pa rin sila ng isang payak ngunit masayang buhay. Ngunit nagkamali siya dahil sunod-sunod na trahedya ang nangyari sa buhay niya. Namatay ang kanyang ina dahil sa sakit na cancer at ang panganay na kapatid niya ay namatay dahil sa isang aksidente. Pakiramdam niya ay wala nang patutunguhan ang kanyang buhay, at ang tanging liwanag na lang na natitira ay ang bunsong kapatid niyang si Quila. Labis niyang kinamumuhian ang ama dahil mas pinili nito ang ibang pamilya kaysa sa kanila. Sa gitna ng kawalang pag-asa, nakilala niya si Darius Villarosa — isang lalaking wasak at walang-awang makitungo. Her late sister left a massive debt to Darius, and with no means to repay, he offers a cold solution: a marriage contract. Wala nang ibang pagpipilian si Phoebe. Desperado at walang matatakbuhan, tinanggap niya ang alok. The contract binds them, but will it also warm her heart, or will it shatter her completely? Sa pagitan ng dalawang taong parehong sugatan, may puwang pa kaya ang pagmamahalan o mananatiling malamig na kasunduan lamang ang lahat?

Amelia's heart filled with fear as the kanye Male Alpha approached her. She had always been taught that Alphas only mated with other Alphas, and now she was face-to-face with one. She cowered as he inhaled her scent at her neck, then moved southward between her thighs, causing her to gasp and stiffen. Suddenly, the male looked up, snarling angrily. "What is this?" he growled. "You smell like an Alpha, but you're not one." Amelia trembled, unsure of how to respond. The male continued to explore her body, sniffing deeply into her womanhood. She felt completely powerless. Then, the male abruptly looked up again, his hair touching her chin as he glared at the others. "Mine," he snarled. "She's MINE!" Amelia realized with a sinking feeling that she had become his property. She was subject to his dominance and control, and there was nothing she could do to stop him.

I died the night before my wedding to Christopher. But on the wedding day, a giant screen showed photos of me in bed with another man. In a fit of rage, Christopher smashed the screen and got engaged to my sister, Elizabeth. When my father informed him of my disappearance, Christopher sneered. “Disappeared? With the disgusting things she has done, she’s probably too ashamed to show her face!” My brother joined in with a scornful yell. “She hurt Liz, and now she has done such shameless things. I refuse to acknowledge such a wicked sister!” The shock and anger led to a fatal stroke, and my father died right there. Since then, I was despised by everyone in Cloud City. What they did not know was that it was the seemingly gentle Elizabeth who had brutally stabbed me to death and dumped my body in the river. Two months later, a fisherman found my body washed ashore.
