At first, akala ni Callen Moore, natutuwa lang siya sa dalagang si Asia Jade Del Franco dahil sa lantarang pagpapahiwatig nang nararamdaman nito sa kaibigang si Astin. Hindi pala. Nasasaktan pala siya dahil unti-unti na siyang nahuhulog sa dalaga. At nasasaktan na siya sa paulit-ulit na pag-reject ni Astin dito. How he wish na sa kanya na lang nito ibaling ang pag-ibig nito. Dahil sa kabiguan kay Astin, ibinaling ni Asia ang tingin niya sa iniidolong author, kay Ismael. Napag-alaman niyang maliban sa magaling na manunulat, isa itong adonis. Wala siyang pinapalipas na libro nito sa merkado. Kaya mula sa pagkagusto, nauwi iyon sa obsession na makita ito. Ni hindi na nga niya pinapansin ang pagpapahaging sa kanya ni Callen tungkol sa nararamdaman nito, kahit na lagi itong sumusulpot sa tuwing kailangan niya nang karamay. At kung kailan naman nakukuha na ni Callen ang atensyon ni Asia, saka naman na nagpakita si Ismael sa kanya. Tunay nga ang bali-balitang isa itong adonis. Kaya binalewala niya nang tuluyan ang umuusbong na pagkagusto kay Callen. Pero hindi akalain ni Asia na may tinatagong lihim si Ismael. Ano kaya ang gagawin niya oras na matuklasan iyon? Mabibigo na naman ba siya sa pag-ibig?

My stepdaughter, Alana Greenwood, brought me some abortion medicine on her Coming-of-Age Ceremony. Everyone around knew of her little "prank", but none came to stop her. Even my husband just stood and watched. I smiled bitterly as I took the medicine and drank it in one go. I immediately felt the pain in my lower abdomen. My head began to spin, but I could still hear the harsh tone in Alana’s voice. "Well, did you think you could replace my mother after giving birth to your child? Let me tell you this, Dad agreed to marry you back then because I was young and was in need of a free nanny! If you dare think about replacing my mother, you will be kicked out of the Greenwood family!" I covered my stomach and took a deep breath. "There's no need for the trouble. You're an adult now and I've completed my task. I'll leave... tomorrow."

As I gazed into his eyes, I couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity, as if I had known him for years. "There's something about you," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "Something that draws me to you." He smiled, revealing a set of perfect teeth. "I feel it too," he said, his voice low and melodic. "It's like we were meant to meet." I couldn't deny the electricity that coursed through me as he spoke, and I found myself leaning closer to him, wanting to feel his warmth. "Who are you?" I asked, my curiosity getting the better of me. He chuckled softly, his eyes crinkling with amusement. "I'm just a guy," he said. "But I've been told that I have a certain charm." I couldn't help but laugh at his modesty, knowing full well that he was more than just a guy. He had an aura about him, a sense of confidence and self-assurance that was both intimidating and alluring. As we continued to talk, I found myself opening up to him, sharing things that I had never told anyone before. It was like he was a confidant, someone that I could trust with my deepest secrets. And as we parted ways, I knew that I had met someone special. He was more than just a guy, he was a kindred spirit, a soulmate that I had been searching for all my life.
