Alyssa Aragon believed that a person can fall in love many times. She easily falls in love to a man who's sweet and with good looks. Everything changed the moment she met Ezekiel Joachim Valmont. It wasn't just her heart that stayed loyal, but also her heart, mind, and... lips? 
She doesn't want to like him because he's serious and mysterious. But at the back of her head, lies the number one reason why she forced herself to hate this man. He hurt someone who's important to her. She hates him for what he did... or so she thought.
Cold and aloof, Ezekiel Joachim Valmont whose name was popular in the business industry, didn't care about anything except his brother. What he hates most is betrayal. 
In a world full of love and heartaches, he shielded his heart from it, until he met Alyssa. He tried hard to stay away, for her sake. But... like a rubber band, it still bounces back even when stretched. And just like a rubber band, it was never broken... and so is his feelings.
He woke up and found himself swimming in the ocean no matter how deep it gets.  
And the farther she stayed away, the deeper his feelings grew. 
Can the cold and aloof billionaire be able to capture the wounded beauty who's trying to flee? And can she accept the wounded billionaire?
Covered with secrets and lies due to fears, worries, hesitations... will they be given a chance to be together once they unveil the scars of their past?
