Nang mataningan ang buhay ng mag-asawang umampon kay Lily Jane Salvador, nanganganib na itong mapatalsik sa pamilya nila. Para patuloy siyang kupkupin sa pamilya Salvador, isa lang ang hinihingi ng kanyang Lolo: Ang makagawa si LJ ng isang obra maestrang literatura bago siya makapagtapos sa Claremont Institute of Arts. Si LJ ay isang doll-maker at buong buhay niya, alam niyang wala siyang talento sa pagsulat ng literatura. Kaya ngayon, alam na ni LJ na tunay na ngang mawawala ang kaisa-isang pamilyang alam niya. Ngunit, nagbago ang lahat nang ang manika ni LJ na nanalo ng Claremont Centerpiece Award ay ninakaw. Nakita ni LJ ang pagkakataon para makasulat ng isang istorya hango sa pagkawala ng obra niya. Kaya, katuwang si Alistair Archer Wy ng photography department, sinundan ni LJ ang mga bakas ng nangyaring krimen para hanapin ang magnanakaw at ang obra niya. Magtatagumpay kaya sila sa paghahanap sa manika ni LJ para maisulat ang wakas ng kanyang istorya, o tuluyan na itong mawawala kasama ang pag-asang manatili si LJ sa pamilya Salvador? £££ TRIGGER WARNINGS AHEAD.

She's the one that got away. He's the one she can never forget. "You will always want me, Kristina. You want me as much as I want you. Deny it as much as you want but you will never fool anyone. You can't even convince yourself no matter how desperate you are to believe your own lies," he said smiling derisively. The ugly truth hurt Kristina Ivanov like a motherfucker. After everything that happened to them in the past, she was still undeniably attracted to her ex-fiancé, André Decena. Maybe not romantically anymore, but sexually, yes. She was very, very sexually drawn to him. However, that doesn't change the fact that he's the last person she would ever want to be with for he was the man she hates from the hell and back. "Oh, I want you," she purred. "Just not in the way you think I do. I want you dead!" A lie but she spat the words with pure contempt while she was seriously mulling over commiting murder. Ten years ago they would have been married. But due to unpleasant circumstances they never got to that point. And now he wants her back. He would do everything in his power to make her his again. Even if that meant using violence to press her on bad corners that would leave her no other option but to sell herself to him...
