Isabela’s world shatters when she sees her father being arrested on live television for the murder of Congressman—a crime she knows he didn’t commit. Desperate, she rushes to the police station, only to find herself trapped in a frenzy of flashing cameras and reporters hungry for a scandal. Before she can reach her father, Governor Richard Montevista, the congressman’s only son and the most powerful man in their province, arrives. With his cold, calculating eyes locked on her, Richard does the unthinkable—he exposes her identity to the media, branding her as the "criminal’s daughter." In an instant, Isabella's life crumbles. She becomes a public pariah, losing her job, her friends, and any hope of a normal life. Worse, her father’s case is rigged, leaving her powerless to prove his innocence. Isabella has no choice but to accept the governor’s cruel bargain—to live in his shadow as his bed warmer, a prisoner—a woman bound to a man she despises. Richard treats her with indifference, his sharp words cutting deeper than any blade. To the world, he is a respected and just leader, but to her, he is heartless and merciless, reminding her every day that she is paying for her father’s crime. Can Isabella get the justice for his father's wrong verdict and get out from the shadow of the governor or will she be trapped into him forever?
