From the ruins of her failed marriage, Ayla learned the hardest lesson of all: never to trust men completely. Natuto na siya. Mula sa dating asawa, tanging sakit, pighati, at pang-aabuso lang ang natutunan niya. She closed her heart off, deciding that love was not for her anymore. Instead, she sought temporary comfort-giving her body freely to whoever came along, thinking that was all she was good for. Pero may isang bagay na hindi niya kayang tanggalin. Sa tuwing nakahiga siya sa piling ng ibang lalaki, sa tuwing susubukan niyang magpakaligaya, ang mukha ng kanyang ex-husband ang lilitaw sa kanyang isipan. It haunted her, stealing every moment of pleasure, making her feel dirty and trapped. She could never truly enjoy intimacy. She was physically there, but her mind and soul were miles away, imprisoned by her past. Until she met Fiyero. They shared an incredible night, a moment of pure passion and release. For Ayla, it was just that-satisfying a need, a temporary fire to keep the cold away. She told herself it meant nothing. Just two people finding comfort in the dark. Pero para kay Fiyero, that night was everything. It was the beginning, not the end. He pursued her with sincerity, wanting more than just her body. He wanted her. Ayla found herself drawn to him, unable to resist the pull. She could easily throw herself at him, surrender to the heat between them, and enjoy the physical bliss she never thought she'd feel again. With him, the ghosts of her past were silent. With him, she felt alive. But the question remains... She can give him her body. She can give him her nights. Pero kaya nga ba niyang ibigay ulit ang kanyang puso?
