Ngunit hanggang kailan niya ito maitatago?

EXTRACT.. Everything went dark as I felt myself falling, but I knew I was safe. Owen had me.   "I've got you, Luna. I've always got you." Tears streamed down my face as I gazed up at him.

You don't walk out until I am done with you.“ Luna's soul has been trapped in matrimony but do you think her lover, her hope can bring her out? Can love really save the day in the case of Luna?

Kaya nang ipahayag ng kanyang mga magulang na ikakasal siya kay Sebastian Aldridge Singson—isang lalaking may yaman, kapangyarihan, ngunit walang emosyon—hindi siya tumutol. Sa isip niya, matutunan din nitong mahalin siya… balang araw. Ngunit ang kasal niya ay naging isang bilangguan. Kahit anong pagsisikap niyang makuha ang atensyon at pagmamahal ng kanyang asawa, nananatili itong malamig at walang pakialam.

Handa pa ba siyang bigyan ng pangalawang pagkakataon ang lalaking minsang bumasag sa kanyang puso? O tuluyan na niyang pipiliin ang isang bagong simula?
