When Lance Navarro whispered "I do..." Erika Rose saw hatred and contempt in his eyes. Pero hindi doon natapos ang galit ng bunsong lalaki ni Franco Navarro. Minutes after the forced wedding, dinala siya nito sa kaibigang tattoo artist and to her horror, Lance branded her for life. At bago siya nawalan ng malay, she saw cruelty imprinted in his eyes. Iyon ang huling pagkakita niya kay Lance for he left her on the same day he married her. At sa loob ng tatlong taon, tinaglay ni Erika Rose sa tapat ng puso ang tatak ng kalupitang iyon.

Ang magkaroon ng hindi inaasahang bisita mula sa madilim na karagatan sa ganoong oras ay bahagi lang ng pagkamangha niya. What took his breath away was the fact that the woman who climbed up to his deck was wearing nothing but seawater dripping down her body!
