"Mahal ko siya, pero hindi pa ako handa" "My instinct was wrong about him and my best friend, now that I can say I'm ready..." "Doon palang naging huli na ang lahat" ---Athena Delight Teneza "I like you... No- that's not the right word..." "I love you..." "Turns out, you love someone else..." "I want to forget you, and look for someone who will love me back... Until I realized, I'm not loving her back... Ikaw parin talaga kahit ituon ko Ang pansin ko sa iba" --- Justin Meyer Cruz Minahal nila ang isa't isa sa hindi naaayon na panahon, dahil sa mapaglarong tadhana... Nauwi sa 'huli na ang lahat' ang 'handa na ako'. Ngunit paano kung sa pagdating ng panahon na masasabi mong 'magmumove forward na ako' ay mauuwi nalang sa 'fiance ko ang Ex ko'?? Magkasintahan sina Athena at Justin mula kolehiyo. Naghiwalay dahil sa isang serye ng mga maling akala at nasirang tiwala. Ngayon, sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon, sila'y pinilit magpakasal sa papapamitan ng arrange marriage na napagkasunduan ng kanilang mga pamilya. Mas pinili nilang maging estranghero at wala sa kanila ang nagpaalala tungkol sa kanilang nakaraan. Sa kanilang pagsasama ay unti-unti nilang narirealize ang tunay nilang nararamdaman sa isa't isa. Lihim silang may malalim na pagmamahal sa isa't isa. Sa panahong napagdesisyonan nilang aminin at ituon ang pagmamahalan nila sa isa't isa ay muling magbabalik ang dahilan ng naging hiwalayan nila sa nakaraan? Paano kung dumating ang pagkakataong pagdedeaisyonan ni Justin ang pagpayag sa debusyong kagustuhan ni Athena? Ano nga ba ang dahilan ni Athena sa divorce na hihilingin kay Justin? Katapusan na nga ba ng kanilang kwento o simula pa lamang ito ng masalimuot na kabanata ng kanilang relasyon?

After I hand over my five-million-dollar commission to my departmental colleagues, they drag me to a hotel and celebrate with me for three days straight. But when I walk past the bathroom, I overhear a conversation between two of my colleagues that stops me cold. "Have the results of the vote been released yet?" What vote? Confused, I check my phone and find that I've been removed from the Project Department's group chat. "Who else could it be? Our hero, Zane Carter, received 11 votes. It was unanimous, and the motion was passed." "Serves him right. I've never liked him anyway." I freeze. I can't believe that my colleagues would betray me after what I've done for them. After taking a moment to calm down, I immediately decide to resign. The next thing I know, I receive a call from the company chairman, Wilson Smith. "Have you made up your mind? Quitting now would breach your contract. As a result, your five-million-dollar commission would be revoked. "You're also a key technical staff member. If you leave, your entire department would most likely be dismissed. Once that happens, your colleagues will end up unemployed. Are you sure about this?" I lower my gaze and let out a cold laugh. "Absolutely."
