Pare-parehong kumunot ang noo nina Nick, George, at Scarlett nang titigan nila ang babaeng kamukhang-kamukha ni Jessica. She is not Jessica, bulong nila sa sarili. Ibang-iba siya sa Jessica na kilala nila. Ang babaeng nasa harap nila ay isang sophisticated woman with a strong aura. The way she dresses, halos nipple na lang ang natatakpan. Malayong-malayo sa dating Jessica. Hindi ganito si Jessica. Mahinhin siya, mahiyain, mabait, maunawain. Pero ang babae sa harap nila ngayon ay puno ng kumpiyansa sa sarili. Ang isang titig pa lang niya ay parang kutsilyong gustong dumurog sa'yo. Yes, gano’n na gano’n ang kanyang aura. Matapang. Hindi nagpapa-api. Ang pag-asa ng tatlong magkakaibigan ay tila naglaho. Dahil si Audrey Castellan ay hindi kailanman magiging si Jessica. Ang pinakamamahal nilang si Jessica… ay limang taon nang patay. Maghihilom na kaya ang puso nilang sugatan mula sa matinding pagsisisi sa sarili, sa muling paglitaw ng isang babaeng kamukhang-kamukha ni Jessica? May pag-asa bang muling liliwanag ang madilim nilang mundo… dahil kay Audrey Castellan? Malalaman natin 'yan sa Book 2 ng Unstoppable Desire: Revelation and Road to Happiness.
