Samantha Claire Yao, a prodigious spy with a shadowy past, entwines her fate with the enigmatic Societas Custodes. Trained from a young age by a criminal syndicate and skilled in the art of subterfuge, Claire infiltrates the Brotherhood with a singular objective - to dismantle its structure from within. As she navigates the treacherous landscape of espionage and subversion, Claire finds herself drawn to Nieves Arquillano Vista, a vengeful military veteran who is also a pillar of Societas Custodes. As their paths converge and secrets unravel, Claire and Kill must confront their conflicting loyalties and undeniable attraction. Bound by duty and embroiled in a web of treachery, they must navigate a perilous dance of trust and betrayal in a world where alliances are fragile, and danger lurks in every shadow. Two things are what keeps them on track though: the unyielding pursuit of justice in a realm where nothing is as it seems is; and, the supposed successfully avenged past... despite the blurred lines between duty and desire.

Killian Theron Salvacion, an exceptional soldier from the Philippine Army, who was hailed as the "hero of no killings" got terminated overnight-due to a single failed mission that caused countless deaths, including his girlfriend. After two years of grieving, he returned as the Finance Director of the Societas Custodes-an organization that offers salvation to people's misery. He is now in his thirties but he is not even bothered to find a new girlfriend as he promised to himself to never love again. Ngunit tila yata mababali ang sinumpaan niyang pangako nang dumating sa buhay niya ang isang makulit na babae na walang ibang ginawa kundi ang magpapansin sa kaniya. Serena Aeri Morelli, the cherished adopted daughter of the Morreli Family, was known for her upbeat personality and mischievous antics. But behind her dazzling face and glamorous smile, is a lady who has survived physical abuse and inhumane experiments. Hindi sana maayos ang buhay niya ngayon kung hindi niya nakilala si Killian Theron Salvacion, who became her own salvation. Since the day she met him, she has already fallen for him. Kaya pinangako ng dalaga na gagawin niya ang lahat mapalapit lang sa binata, kahit kasama pa roon ang maging trainee ng organization na kinabibilangan nito. Ngunit tila yata mailap sa kaniya ang suwerte at mukhang suntok sa buwan na mapaibig niya ang binata dahil hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ito nakakalimot sa dati nitong nobya. As their paths continue to collide, will Killian be able to keep his promise to never love again? Magtagumpay naman kaya si Serena na mapaibig ang binata? Or will she soon forget all about him and find someone else who can give her the love she seeks?
