Para kay Dhalia Augustine Madrigal, ang buhay ay isang serye ng pagsubok—lalo na nang tanggapin niya ang trabahong maging sekretarya ng malupit at istriktong bilyonaryo, si Henri Yanno Garciaz. Habang lahat ng naunang sekretarya ay hindi nagtagal, siya lang ang nagtiis at nakasabay sa ugali nito. Ngunit hindi niya inasahan na ang trabahong ito ang magdadala sa kanya sa isang alok na magpapabago sa kanyang buhay. Isang kasal kapalit ng sampung milyong piso. Para kay Henri, si Dhalia ang perpektong sagot upang makaiwas sa isang sapilitang kasal sa kanyang unang pag-ibig. Ngunit sa kabila ng kasunduang iyon, hindi niya maitanggi ang lumalalim niyang damdamin para sa babaeng laging naroon para sa kanya. Unti-unting nagbago ang kanilang relasyon, at sa kabila ng mga pagsubok, natagpuan nila ang tunay na kaligayahan sa isa’t isa. Ngunit sa isang iglap, nagbago ang lahat. Isang rebelasyong nag-ugat sa nakaraan ang gumulo sa buhay ni Dhalia—isa pala siyang Lim, kapatid ng dating minahal ni Henri. At ang mas matinding dagok, isang larawan ang sumira sa kanilang tiwala—isang larawan na nagpatunay na may ibang babae si Henri. Sa gitna ng sakit at kahihiyan, pinili niyang lumayo, dala ang lihim na siya rin ay nagdadalang-tao. Limang taon ang lumipas, at sa kabila ng pagtatago ni Dhalia, hindi siya tinantanan ng lalaking minsan niyang minahal. Ngayon, muling bumalik si Henri sa buhay niya, handang patunayan ang isang bagay—na sa kabila ng lahat, si Dhalia lang ang babaeng nais niyang makasama habambuhay. Ngunit sapat ba ang pagmamahal upang paghilumin ang sugat ng nakaraan?

*My mate turns out to be the mafia king?!* “Stop flirting with my staff.” My head snaps toward the guy I’ve run into twice today. I thought he was just an average school playboy. “Your staff?” I ask stupidly. He smiles widely. “That’s right, sweetheart. This is my club.” * “W-what are you doing?” I whisper, but the look in his eyes says it all. “Do you feel that?” He asks.

Millie caresses my cheeks and a shiver runs down my spine. “I can't pretend anymore, Grace. It's getting really hard” she whispers in my ear and I squirm.
