Synopsis

Arwena never imagined surrendering to a stranger after discovering that her boyfriend, Jake, was cheating on her with her best friend, Farah. Heartbroken and disillusioned, Arwena left the country, vowing never to return. But five years later, she is back, tasked with reviving her parents’ struggling business. Arwena must face the very people who inflicted her deepest wounds. What she doesn’t anticipate is crossing paths once more with Tandre Denovan—the man with whom she shared a one-night stand and the father of her child.  Will Arwena succeed in reviving her family’s struggling business while facing the painful memories of her past, or will she dare to open her heart to a second chance at love? Can she find the strength to rebuild her life and embrace a brighter future, or will her past continue to cast a shadow over her dreams?

"Let go of me, please!"Despite her dizziness and weakness, Arwena fought hard against the man who was dragging her out of the bar.She kicked and pushed him desperately, hoping to break free. But no matter how hard she tried, he refused to let go. His grip on her waist tightened, and he was practically carrying her."Stop fighting if you don't want to get hurt," he said, his voice sharp and commanding. He grabbed her face roughly, forcing her to meet his cold, menacing gaze.Arwena's cries faltered briefly, her chest heaving with fear. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and her heart pounded so hard she couldn't hear anything else.Without warning, he grabbed her neck and slammed her into the hood of a car.

Chapter 1 "Mistake"
Arwena looked around the room until her eyes landed on the frosted shower door, where she saw the hazy silhouette of a man."What have I done?" she whispered, her hand flying to her mouth as tears welled up.She rose unsteadily, gathered her clothes, dressed hurriedly, and slipped out of the room as quickly as possible.Frustration bubbled over as she repeatedly tapped her forehead. She felt utterly foolish. For so long, she had protected herself, priding herself on self-restraint. It was the reason her ex-boyfriend left her for her best friend. And yet, here she was, giving herself to a stranger."Tandre," she murmured, the name of the man who had saved her—and the man to whom she had surrendered."Arwena! Where have you been?" her mother’s voice, tinged with worry, greeted her as she stepped into the house. Her father shook his head in silent disappointment.She longed to collapse into their arms, to tell them everything—the horrible events of the previous night, her boyfriend's and

Chapter 2 "Moving Forward"
Arwena sighed as she held her cup of coffee, soaking in the silence—far from the people who had hurt and shattered her life. After breaking down and hitting her head in the bathroom during her last conversation with Jake, she finally woke up to reality. She realized that no matter what she did, the pain Jake and Farah had planted in her heart and mind wouldn't easily disappear. She could no longer fake smiles or surround herself with the people responsible for her suffering.And so, here she was, bravely moving to another country, trying to start anew, far away from those who had hurt and crushed her. But despite her efforts, the pain still lingered within her. She hadn’t fully freed herself from the anger."My goodness, Arwena, you've been here for two months and still haven't done anything different. All you do is drink coffee and watch the waves, over and over again. Aren’t you tired of it yet?"She glanced briefly at her friend, took another sip of coffee, then turned her gaze ba

Chapter 3 "Problem"
Archie paced back and forth inside Arwena's hospital room, occasionally glancing at his friend, whose face was still very pale.Earlier, when his friend passed out, he blamed himself. He had insisted on taking her out. But after hearing what the doctor said, he could no longer stay calm. He didn't know how his friend would take the news about another problem in her life.She was beginning to forget the negative events that had befallen her.He stood by the side of the hospital bed, where his friend was still sound asleep. He quietly watched her, praying that her mind would be open and that she wouldn’t lose hope in facing this new challenge in her life."Archie..." Arwena called groggily."Wena, how are you feeling? Are you still dizzy? Nauseous? Is there anything that hurts?" Archie asked, his voice filled with concern as he gently stroked her forehead.Arwena smiled and held his hand. "I'm fine; maybe I just felt overwhelmed by the noise and crowd earlier," she replied.She tightene

Chapter 4 "Plan"
"Arwena, why didn't you go to school again? You haven’t lost anyone, so stop pretending you're mourning?"Archie’s voice was sharp as he flung open her bedroom door. He had been knocking for ages but Arwena didn't bother to answer.Running a hand through his hair, Archie looked at Arwena, sprawled on the floor like a lifeless doll. She looked worse than any street beggar, her hair tangled, and her face smudged with dirt. “Stop this madness, Arwena!” Archie snapped, snatching the bottle as she took another gulp.She used to drown her sorrows in coffee, standing by the window, breathing deeply, as if trying to gather the strength to face another day. But now it was alcohol she clung to, sobbing on the floor like a woman who had lost everything.“Give that back, Archie!" she screamed, pointing a shaking finger at him. “It’s mine! Give it to me!”Like a desperate child, Arwena crawled across the floor, trying to take the bottle he had taken from her.“I don’t know what to do with you any

Chapter 5 "Flesh and Blood"
Arwena sat in the clinic's waiting area, her heart sinking with every passing moment. The air felt thick with uncertainty, and she couldn’t seem to quiet the whirlwind of thoughts clouding her mind. Just yesterday, she had been resolute—so sure about the decision she was about to make. She had convinced herself that ending the pregnancy was the only choice. But now, watching the women leaving the room with tear-streaked faces, the decision no longer seemed so clear. Each sob, each fragile step, planted doubt in her heart.Fear for her future—and her baby—began to overwhelm her, and before she even realized it, a tear had slipped down her cheek. Instinctively, she placed a hand on her belly, feeling the life within her. But she was too afraid to truly consider the consequences of what she was about to do.“Ms. Arwena Dela Torre?” The receptionist’s voice cut through her thoughts, but Arwena remained motionless, as though her very name being called was some kind of final summons she wasn

Chapter 6 "Reason To Live"
As Arwena climbed the stairs to her home, a broad smile spread across her face, knowing exactly what awaited her each time she returned from work. Her heart lightened with the anticipation of seeing her son.“Mommy!” Nathan’s sweet greeting greeted her before she even reached the door, followed by his energetic arms wrapping tightly around her, his tiny body filled with warmth and love. She laughed as she bent down, kissing the top of his head.“How was your day, Mommy?” Nathan asked, his bright smile lighting up the entire room as he looked up at her expectantly.Arwena grinned and playfully pinched his nose. “My day was great! How about yours?” she replied, pulling him into a hug, feeling the familiar rush of joy fill her heart as his giggles echoed around the room.“Awesome!” Nathan beamed, his excitement palpable as he bounced around, filled with the innocent joy that only a child could bring.Five years had passed since that dark chapter of her life, the one where she had once bel

Chapter 7 "Tandre Denovan"
Arwena was boiling with anger as she stared at the coffee shop her parents had built, now under the control of others thanks to the treachery of Farah and Jake. Her parents had trusted them completely—Farah, her former best friend, and Jake, her ex-boyfriend—and had left them in charge of managing the coffee shop and its other branches.Unbeknownst to her parents, Farah and Jake had slowly sold off the shops to a certain Mr. Denovan. Now, he was operating the coffee shop her parents had worked so hard to grow."Good morning, ma'am," the guard greeted Arwena as she entered the coffee shop. She didn’t respond; her mind was clouded with anger. Her eyes immediately locked onto Farah and Jake, deep in conversation at a corner table.She had waited days for the chance to confront the people who had nearly destroyed her life and were now ruining her family’s business.“Is it true that Arwena is back?” Farah asked Jake, her voice low but sharp.Arwena’s hands clenched into fists, her nails di

Chapter 8 "The Past"
Tandre spoke only three words, yet their impact on Arwena was immense. Despite her nervousness, she couldn’t tear her gaze away from his face—especially his dark, penetrating eyes. They were so intense, it felt as if they could consume her soul.“D-Do you know me?” Arwena stammered after a brief moment of staring at him.Though she already suspected Tandre Denovan was the man who saved her five years ago—the father of her son, Nathan—she still wanted confirmation. She needed to hear it from his lips.“Of course. How could I forget the helpless, devastated woman I saved five years ago?” Tandre said slowly, his tone firm.He wanted her to remember. He wanted her to relive everything that had happened that night.“It was you,” Arwena whispered.She had acted as though she didn’t recognize him, but the truth was that her entire body had gone cold. It was as if someone had poured ice water over her the moment she heard those words from the father of her child.What worried her most was the

Chapter 9 "Payment"
Arwena felt an overwhelming sense of frustration as she stared at Tandre's back. She wanted to run up to him and slap him. If only she could confront him and throw away everything she had endured because of their past mistakes. But she couldn’t. She couldn’t let him know the truth—that their past had resulted in her becoming pregnant.She was angry because of his inflated sense of self-worth. Just because he was wealthy, he acted like he was untouchable. She had once thought Tandre, the man who had saved her, was a good person. But now she saw him as a monster, waiting for his next victim. It felt like she was a helpless animal caught in a trap, just waiting to be devoured.Silently, she cursed him over and over in her mind. That was all she could do for now. She knew Tandre was using the coffee shop to try to win her back.Tandre knew how badly she wanted to take ownership of her parents’ shop. But if he was cunning, Arwena was just as sharp. She wouldn’t let him have his way. She wo
