After losing her bodyguard-boyfriend during an ambush, Maddison decided never to agree to having a bodyguard again. She didn't want any more lives to be sacrificed on her account. The pain and guilt of what happened haunted her, and she still blamed herself for the lives lost that night. But with threats continuing to come, her parents decided to strike a deal with her. She wouldn't have multiple security personnel like she used to; instead, she would have only one who would be with her at all times. Left with no choice, she agreed but secretly planned to do everything she could to make that person quit and leave her alone. She thought it would be easy, but when she met Duke Dela Cruz, making him leave seemed to become the hardest thing she'd ever do. The conceited and annoying bodyguard, who swore to protect her with his life, refused to leave no matter how hard she tried to piss him off-even seducing him! But even with the annoyance she felt towards him, love found its way to come between them. Would she let him sacrifice his life, too, just to ensure her safety? Could she endure the pain again if she ever lost him as well?

"H-Hanggang k-kailan m-mo ba ako ikukulong dito A-Alas?" tanong ko na niyakap ang dalawang tuhod habang hilam sa luha ang mukha. Itinaas niya ng Zipper ng pantalon niya at lumapit sa akin. So close that I can smell his breath. Hinawakan niya ang baba ko at tumingin ng diretso sa mga mata ko. Anger, hatred and lust was visible in his eyes. "Until I die." aniya na mabilis hinalikan ang labi ko. I closed my eyes and cried. Sa sakit at awa sa sarili. "If you want to leave this hell, kill me." mas lalo akong napaiyak.
