Wealth. Power. Freedom. Arcelli Giselle "Silver" Cregencia has everything anyone could ever dream of. From businesswoman to model to actress, she excelled. But there's someone she also wanted to get. That is Hadeon Vittori— billionaire. She has no romantic or sexual interest in him. She wanted him because she heard he was popular with supermodels and actresses, including Allison Klare Beltran, who had previously stolen her ex-boyfriend. The presence of Hadeon by her side causes people to weep and be jealous of her. She claimed that they are already engaged, despite not even knowing each other personally, so that someone would reveal their relationship to the public, and then she will dump him after that. That is it. However, Hadeon didn't deny her claim. Instead, he asked her to act not only as his fiancee but his wife to hide his relationship with her lover, Dr. Lindsay Almojera, from his parent, who strongly disapproves of their relationship. As the actress who started the game, will she continue to play along with it?
