After achieving everything he ever wanted, Jacob Coleman's life took a traumatic and unfortunate turn. Now, isolated in Red Falls, a small town in Oregon, he´s dedicated into rescuing abused and distressed animals, so Jacob has neither the time nor the intention of pursuing any romantic interest. Who would want to be with a bitter man that is physically scarred by life? Or at least that's what he thought until the new veterinarian arrives to The Eden. Veterinarian and mother of a precocious seven-year-old girl, Vivienne Sweet, had only one thing in mind since she was little. That was to work with farm animals. So, what´s better than a small-town animal shelter where she can spend her free time with Taylor? Or the spectacular and reserved man who runs The Eden? Vivienne never thought she would find such perfection in that place, but what she did know was, that she would not miss the opportunity to get to know Jacob Coleman in depth. No matter how much Jacob resists, Vivienne has already made up her mind, and she won't give up on it until she achieves her goal: to have him for herself.

“In every enchanting story, there's a beast that will beat you up. At ikaw 'yong beast na binabanggit ko.” I have a boss who is always telling about how slow-witted I am. He's sharp-tongued with a rough attitude and unyielding standards. “Parang lahat na yata ng masamang pag-uugali ay nasa iyo na.” I thought there's no romantic between us that blooms amidst the chaos. Our relationship has not been good, but we prove that hates and opposites truly attract. — Helliry Chrysopeleia Flieyh Dizon. His Slow-witted Maid

Ayon kay Lao Tzu, a Chinese philosopher, be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you—na siyang isinasabuhay ko. I only have my mother and my two friends, Charlynn and Reisha. My mother works for Charlynn's family. We are not really poor and definitely we're also not rich but we're living comfortably. Nevertheless, I am contented with my life. But, after meeting the man that I like, I started to dream for more. I started to ask for more just to equal his riches even though I know for sure that it was impossible. Life is meaningful. Full of life lessons, full of challenges, and battles that you need to surpass. Pero no'ng nawala sa akin si Mama, iyon ang hindi ko kinaya. Sinisi ko sa lahat ang pagkawala niya. Nagtanim ako ng galit sa pamilya na tinuturing kong pangalawa kong pamilya. And he was there, just accepting my madness. But, what if everything that I believed was all a lie? Paano kung lahat ng sinisi ko, maling tao? Would I be able to get to his life again? Or our memory will remain just like how we first met? Dark.

Mula sa pantalan ay hinagod ng tingin ni Guen ang buong kapaligiran. Malamig ang gabi, tahimik na tahimik ang malawak na lawa, gumuguhit ang liwanag ng buwan sa tubig. Napakasarap ng may kayakap ng mga sandaling iyon. "I've always wanted to slow dance beneath the stars..." aniya.Pero nang humarap siya kay Kibaweg, ibang sayaw ang ginawa nila. Mapusok, nag-aalab sa init ang halik ng binata. Gusto sana niya itong itulak, pigilan sa ginagawa, pero hindi niya magawa. Ngayon lang niya naranasan ang ganitong sensasyon kaya huli na nang mapansin niyang hinuhubad na nito ang pang-ibaba niyang saplot...
