The Hontiveros and Gatchalian families have ruled the country's business empire for generations as bitter, wealthy rivals. But when an unprecedented supply chain crisis threatens both of their fortunes, they are forced into an uneasy alliance. The price of peace? An arranged marriage to seal the merger.
Risa Hontiveros-brilliant, calculated, and fiercely independent-is the logical choice to marry the Gatchalian heir, Sherwin. The only problem? They have despised each other since high school, where they constantly battled for the top spot in psychological and academic warfare. Refusing to swallow her pride, Risa rejects the arrangement, forcing her playful yet mastermind younger sister, Pia, to step in and agree to marry Sherwin instead.
While Risa convinces herself that she has escaped a corporate trap, Sherwin's gaze keeps lingering on her, and Pia begins to realize that her sister's hatred looks a lot like repressed passion. When a sudden confession, a rainy-night confrontation, and a desperate runaway-bride scheme culminate in a chaotic wedding day catastrophe, Risa finds herself forced to step into the white gown. Standing at the altar with her ultimate rival, Risa must finally decide if Sherwin Gatchalian is her greatest corporate threat-or the only man smart enough to win her heart.
