Nadia de Marco knew what she wanted in life and that is to be the most powerful woman in the country. Growing up in the Philippines, she knew that it would be an uphill climb. There is misogyny everywhere, but instead of fighting it, she decided to use it to her advantage. That is probably the upside of being undermined, being almost invisible-people will never see you coming. While she was watching everyone's moves, no one was watching hers. Things were going according to plan until Avery Brienne Eliseo came into the picture. Suddenly, she got an enemy. And unlike Avery who has her cousin by her side, she has no one. And she needs to have someone. She's been looking for so long until she found Archibald Reign Gallego-the perfect partner in crime... or so she thought.

"I-Im sorry." malakas ang kabog ng dibdib na wika ko. He's looking at me dangerously. Palapit siya ng palapit sa akin Habang ako naman ay paatras ng paatras hanggang tumama ang likod ko sa pader. "Ahh!" sigaw ko sa takot nang bigla niyang suntukin ang pader na nasa gilid ko. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at malakas na kumabog ang dibdib ko dahil sa takot. "Sorry? Its not something that we can resolve by saying sorry." mapanganib na wika niya. Nanlilisik ang mga mata niya at nagtatagis ang kanyang mga bagang. Kita ko sa mata niya ang poot pero wala akong magawa kung hindi humingi ng tawad. "I-Im sorry Jaxon. I-Im sorry." humahagulgol na wika ko. Hinawakan niya ang panga ko at itiningala sa kanya. Masyado iyong mahigpit at nasasaktan na ako pero hindi ko magawang umangal. "Damn you! I dont need your sorry. And dont act scared with this kind of thing! Mas malala ka dito! You're a murderer and I will do everything to make your life a living hell." mabalasik na wika niya bago ako marahas na bitawan. "I will see you again Xhia. I will make sure of that." aniya bago ako iwanan. Napaupo ako sa sahig at napahagulgol. Nanginginig ang kamay ko at malakas ang kabog ng dibdib ko. What have I done?
