Dati, naniniwala si Amara na love could heal everything. Ikinasal siya kay Lucien—isang napakatalino ngunit cold-hearted na surgeon—ang lalaking minsang naging sandalan niya sa gitna ng sakit. Sa mga panahong iyon, kahit ang hapdi ng bawat araw ay nagiging matiisin, basta’t naroon ito. But love does not survive betrayal disguised as indifference. Nang bumalik si Lysandra—ang babaeng kailanman ay hindi nawala sa puso ni Lucien—doon tuluyang gumuho ang mundong pilit binuo ni Amara. Unti-unti niyang tinanggap ang katotohanang matagal na niyang tinatakasan: she was never the one he chose. Isa lang siyang substitute. Isang pansamantalang kapalit sa isang kuwentong hindi kailanman naging kanya. Buntis siya. At ang batang dinadala niya’y itinuturing ng mali. Para kay Lucien, ang lahat ay parang isang operasyon: dapat malinis, kontrolado, walang “error.” Kahit pa ang kapalit nito ay isang buhay… o isang pusong tuluyang madudurog. Ngunit ang wakas ay dumating nang makita ni Amara ang huling pruweba ng pagtataksil. Sa sandaling iyon, may kung anong tuluyang namatay sa loob niya. Hindi na siya umiyak. Hindi na siya nagtanong. Hindi na siya umasa. “I want a divorce.” Apat na salitang sapat para patahimikin ang buong mundo ni Lucien. Ngunit imbes na magalit, tumawa ito—mababa, malamig, mapanlait. “Divorce? Saan ka pupunta? You have no degree, no job, and your mother is sick.” Ngunit ang babaeng nasa harapan niya ngayo’y hindi na ang Amara na kilala niya. “Maybe I’ll struggle,” mahina ngunit matalim ang boses niya. “Pero mas pipiliin kong maghirap sa labas kaysa manatili dito—sa ‘yo—bilang kapalit ng babaeng hindi mo kailanman binitawan.” Sa unang pagkakataon… natahimik si Lucien. Dahil ang babaeng akala niyang hindi kailanman aalis—ay siya mismong handang iwan ang lahat. At sa pagkakataong ito, Amara will rewrite everything—walang babalikan, walang aayusin, at wala nang pagmamahal na muling magliligtas sa kanila.
