Ang paglapat ng titik ang siyang pagbubukas. Nitong isang panibagong mundo, iba't- ibang tinatahak na landas. Isang obra maestrang araw ay nais liwanagan. Kapilas ng pag-iisip ang laman ng plumang may init na tila inapuyan. Naglalagablab ang libog na silaban, Ang isang daan na nais ipatahak kanino man. Nais ipahatid sariling mensahe. Walang pamasahe patago ang atake. Maaring karne o sa buto ng pakwan itinago isang panunudyo at pagtawag sa pagbabago. Nais hubugin ang isang pigurin. Na nagtatago sa lilim at sariling dilim. Pariralang isisiwalat ang siyang maghuhudyat. Sa paglimot ng nakaraang nagliwalil sa pagkataong payat.

To Mayor Wilson Eliseo dela Fuente, it wasn't a huge surprise that it was his turn to get dragged to the sacrificial altar for the sake of his family. Ito na ang kapalaran niya mula pa man noon. He loves being a bachelor, he liked to drink and enjoy to fuck every female that crossed his path, and if she wanted to be part of de La Fuente family, she was going to have to get used to that. Hinding-hindi niya babaguhin ang sarili dahil sa marital status niya. Pero paano kung ang babaeng kanyang pinakasalanan ay isa palang impostora na ang tanging hangarin sa pagpapakasal sa kanya ay para makapaghigante sa kanyang pamilya; the woman he has been desiring ever since.

Seven years ago... I was his stalker. Three years ago... I was his wife. Two years ago... I was his ex-wife. Simula nang hiniwalayan niya ako ay nagkaleche-leche na rin ang buhay ko. Namatay si mommy dahil sa cancer, nalugi ang kompanya ni daddy at dahil sa sobrang hiya, nagpakamatay siya kaya naiwan sa akin ang responsibilidad na bayaran ang natirang utang niya sa banko. Kung dati akong princessa, ngayon ay naghihirap na. Lahat atang pweding racket ay gagawin ko mabayaran ko lang ang utang sa banko. I am a baker on weekdays, dance instructor on Saturdays at dance performer on Friday and Saturday nights. Pero sa kasamaang palad, bumalik ang ex-husband ko kaya lalong gumulo ang buhay ko. He owned the restaurant I worked with kaya nagawa niyang i-assign ako bilang personal chef niya as well as personal assistant. Binayaran niya rin ang dance studio kung saan ako nagtratrabaho and hired me as his personal dance instructor. He hired me as his personal dance instructor for the whole day on Saturdays. Pati na rin ang trabaho ko bilang performer ay nagawan niya ng paraan. He hired me as his exclusive entertainer every Friday at Saturday nights. Do you think that is already worse? The worst thing is - binayaran niya ang utang namin sa banko so I am now obliged to pay him based on his terms. I am Patricia Sandoval, sold to Stuart Cordoval - ako ang personal assistant, private chef, personal dance instructor, exclusive entertainer at on-call bedwarmer ng pinakamamahal kong ex-husband. Masaklap man isipin pero I am sold to my ex-husband. This is the second story about the Adonis series. This time, kay Stuart Cordoval at kay Patricia Sandoval naka-center ang story.
