Hindi naging madali ang buhay ni Cataleya Lorenzo. Lumaki siyang walang ina at ang tanging pamilya niya ay ang ama niyang palaging abala pero kailanma’y hindi siya pinabayaan. Sa Amerika siya nagkaisip, malayo sa mundong tunay niyang pinagmulan. Pagbalik niya sa Pilipinas, isang linggo pa lang ang lumilipas nang ipakilala sa kanya ng ama ang matalik nitong kaibigan—si Santino Rosales. Matagal na niyang naririnig ang pangalang iyon, pero hindi siya handa sa kung anong klaseng presensya ang sasalubong sa kanya. Walang nabanggit ang ama niya tungkol sa lalaking may tinging kayang tumagos sa laman, tinig na malamig pero nakakakuryente, at lakas ng loob na hindi mo puwedeng bale-walain.

Anong gagawin niya kung ang nag-iisa niyang tagapagtanggol ay siya ring lalaking unti-unting bumibihag sa puso niya?

My name is Ivy Lawson. At 3:00 am, I get a call from Christina McSpire, a parent of one of my students. "Hello, Ms. Lawson, I noticed Zoe only spent five dollars on her meal yesterday. Did she not eat any meat?" she asks. Pushing through my exhaustion, I reply, "Don't worry, Mrs. Street. I'll check on it tomorrow." Another half hour goes by, and she calls again. "It's supposed to rain tomorrow. Can you remind Zoe to bring an umbrella?" I can hardly keep my eyes open. "Got it," I reply absentmindedly. A few minutes later, my phone rings once more. "Please make sure Zoe brushes her teeth for three minutes. It's also important that she scrubs each side of her face at least three times." Suppressing my frustration, I calmly respond, "Zoe is in her senior year of high school. I'm sure she's capable of taking care of herself." I expect that to be the end of it, but when I wake up, my silenced phone shows over a hundred missed calls.
