Meliza Lizondra was on the run, hiding from a high-profile individual she messed with because she fell in love with someone else. She blamed her foolish heart for the poor choice that made her cut ties with her family and friends. She ended up alone and living her life like hell.

Ethan Almendraz is the most popular bachelor, not because of his good looks and wit but because he is the renowned CEO of one of the country's most powerful conglomerates.

He had been hunting Iza for years because he couldn't forgive her for breaking his heart. His only wish was to make her pay whatever it took to make her realize what she had lost.

One day, Meliza was invited to attend her best friend's wedding, and Ethan was invited to the same event. 

Meliza couldn't believe she would meet Ethan again. He was the reason her life became miserable, and Iza hated him and swore to make him beg for her forgiveness while Ethan was on his quest to make her suffer.

Things became complicated as their worlds collided once again.

Would they succeed in ruining each other or end up falling in love again?

The Social Climber Is Mr. CEO’s First Love

I cried myself to sleep that night after slapping Ethan. I hadn't meant to do it, especially not in front of our friends, but I had to stop him. If he kept talking, I would break. I couldn't tell him I loved him—it hurt too much—so I said the opposite instead.

Hurting him was the only way to make him hate me, and that was my plan. If he hated me, he'd accept my rejection. I couldn't bear to see love in his eyes when I knew I didn't deserve it. I wanted his anger, not his admiration.

I still didn't understand how my mother found out about us. No matter how hard I thought, I couldn't pinpoint who betrayed me. Only Ruby and my manager had her number.

The next morning, Ruby stayed by my side. I was grateful she hadn't left.

"Are you sure about this?" she asked softly.
