“Hindi kita puwedeng gawing kaibigan lang. I want you as my wife.”

Dominique’s father believed it was his duty to find her a husband because she couldn’t do it in her own. All her life, she lived in seclusion. At dahil hindi niya kailanman sinuway ang kanyang ama ay napilitan siyang sumang-ayon nang sabihing pakasalan niya ang lalaking napili nito.

The man was Rodrigo Ambrosia—a millionaire, a rock star, dashing and smooth, isang lalaking kailanman ay hindi mahuhulog ang loob sa kanya. Paano mangyayari iyon gayong hindi nagsisinungaling ang salamin sa tuwing titingin siya roon at makikita niya ang kanyang hitsura?
