Mercedes Isadora, born into a wealthy family immersed in a cult, was raised to be obedient to the High Priest, maintain an immaculate appearance as a woman of High Power, and accept her role as the one of their priest's mistresses. However, she differed from her cult peers, seeking knowledge beyond their beliefs. Before turning twenty, she planned to escape the cult's clutches, but her attempt led her to be captured by a man suspecting her family's involvement in a series of women disappearances. Now facing an uncertain fate, Mercedes grapples with the dilemma of whether escaping the cult was a blessing or if the new danger posed by her captor is more formidable. Her desire for a normal life clashes with her new mission to prove her innocence by helping him unravel her family and the cult's secrets.

Nadia de Marco knew what she wanted in life and that is to be the most powerful woman in the country. Growing up in the Philippines, she knew that it would be an uphill climb. There is misogyny everywhere, but instead of fighting it, she decided to use it to her advantage. That is probably the upside of being undermined, being almost invisible-people will never see you coming. While she was watching everyone's moves, no one was watching hers. Things were going according to plan until Avery Brienne Eliseo came into the picture. Suddenly, she got an enemy. And unlike Avery who has her cousin by her side, she has no one. And she needs to have someone. She's been looking for so long until she found Archibald Reign Gallego-the perfect partner in crime... or so she thought.
