Walong taon na ang nakararaan ay niloko at sinaktan ni Lauradia ang damdamin ng tanging lalaking minahal niya - si Raiven Montemayor. Nang muli silang magkita ay hindi nito itinago ang galit na nararamdaman pa rin nito para sa kaniya. Lalo at nakita siya nito sa isang hindi magandang sitwasyon. "Instead of looking for other men to seduce, you will warm my bed as long as I want to. Of course, I will make sure to compensate you. However, I will not love you and you are not to fall in love with me. I will not marry you either. Are you willing to throw away all your love for money?" Parang patalim na sumaksak sa puso niya ang sinabi nito. Pero tinanggap niya iyon kasi umaasa siya na baka kapag hinayaan niya itong saktan siya ng ganoon ay mapatawad siya nito. "Matagal ko ng itinapon ang sinasabi mong pag-ibig Raiven." Iyon ang lakas loob niyang sinagot dito. Kahit ang totoo ay mahal na mahal pa rin niya ito...

Broken-hearted si Carol nang unang magkrus ang mga landas nila ni Leandro 'Lian' De Marco. Gwapo ito, matangkad at simpatiko.

Habang lumilipas ang mga araw, nahuhulog si Carol dito. Kaya naman masayang masaya siya nang ligawan siya nito at tanggapin niya ang pagmamahal nito. Pero isang araw, bigla na lang itong naglaho. Pagkatapos ng halos dalawang taon, muli silang nagkita. Leandro has temporary amnesia. Nakahanda siyang gawin ang lahat para ipaalala sa lalaki ang nakaraan nila pero paano kung kasabay ng pagbabalik ng ala-ala ng binata ay ang pagbabalik din ng pagmamahal nito sa babaeng dahilan kung bakit sila pinaglapit noon ng tadhana? ♥

"Our next is a girl of eighteen summers. She has smooth, unblemished skin and has been schooled in the arts of love and seduction. But most of all, she is untouched." my auctioneer and captor said as he paraded me in front of the men. They eyed their fill of my body but they were forbidden to touch. "Bidding starts at two hundred pieces of silver." I was returned towards the stage as the men stated their prices. I was a rare commodity: a slave girl yet untouched, eighteen, fertile when the land has been struck with a plague that left women barren. The price for me reached eight hundred silver coins and many have already backed down. "Two hundred gold coins!" a man spoke up. It was he, the man who stared at me with passion and desire in his eyes moments ago. That was quite a sum for a slave! "Two hundred gold coins going once, twice... Sold to the King of Ivaris!" the auctioneer shouted. There it was. My fate was sealed. I am a love slave and it is just my luck that I am sold to the same cruel king that destroyed my kingdom. *A story of love, of gods and goddesses, of reincarnation and magic, intrigue and betrayal, of kings and war...*
