Mariam Dela Cruz is the only daughter of a wealthy and powerful family. Spoiled by her parents and three older brothers, she has grown up getting everything she wants. She dreams of traveling and enjoying her freedom rather than taking over the family business.
Her life changes when Ethan, the son of her family's longtime driver, enters her world. Because of his father's connection to the Dela Cruz family, Ethan becomes closely involved in Mariam's life-eventually working as her driver and bodyguard.
At first, Mariam hates having Ethan constantly around. She sees him as an unwanted shadow who watches her every move and interferes with her freedom. Ethan, however, remains calm and obedient on the surface.
But beneath that quiet exterior is something much darker.
Ethan has known Mariam for years, and his feelings toward her are far more complicated than simple loyalty. He watches her, protects her, and remembers things about her that even she has forgotten. As Mariam grows older and begins to change, Ethan finds it harder to hide his growing obsession with her.
Their relationship becomes a dangerous mixture of attraction, jealousy, secrets, and control.
Mariam eventually discovers something about the past that makes her question Ethan's true intentions-and strangely, she chooses not to reveal what she knows. Meanwhile, Ethan begins to wonder why she is keeping his secret.
Years later, Ethan is still working for the Dela Cruz family. As he drives Mariam around, memories of the past continue to haunt him. He knows there are secrets between them that could destroy everything if they are ever exposed.
And the more Mariam tries to distance herself from Ethan, the more he seems determined to stay by her side.
Because Ethan doesn't just want to protect Mariam anymore.
He wants her.
And he's willing to keep secrets, cross boundaries, and wait as long as necessary to make sure she never truly escapes him.
