Dull Ache Under Left Shoulder Blade

Tatlong taon na ang nakalipas simula noong maghiwalay sina Eloise at Cassian dahil matinding awayan ng kanilang mga pamilya. Napagtanto ni Cassian na mahal niya pa rin si Eloise kahit ilang taon pa ang nakalipas, nagsisi siya kung bakit iniwan niya ang babaeng pinakamamahal at sinisi sa kasalanang hindi naman siya ang may gawa. Muli siyang bumalik sa Pilipinas at desididong hanapin si Eloise. Nais niyang makabawi sa lahat ng sakit na idinulot niya rito at sa pag-asang tatanggapin siyang muli nito at ipagpatuloy ang naudlot nilang relasyon. Ngunit nalaman niyang nalubog na sa utang ang pamilya ni Eloise. Nakita itong oportunidad ni Cassian upang muling kumonekta sa dalaga. Inalok niya ito ng kasal kapalit ng pagtulong niya sa pagbayad ng utang ng kaniyang pamilya. Kahit na mayroong pag-aalinlangan sa dibdib ni Eloise ay tinanggap niya ang kasunduan at naging tulay ito upang ipagpatuloy nilang muli ang nagwakas nilang pag-ibig. Sa kabilang banda naman ay ang kanilang kasiyahan ay panandalian lamang nang malaman ni Carsen, nakababatang kapatid ni Cassian ang muling pakikipag ugnayan sa pamilya ni Eloise, na sanhi ng pagkamatay ng kanilang ina. Dulot ng matinding galit ay handang gawin ni Carsen ang lahat upang maputol ang namumuong ugnayan ng dalawa. Gagawin niya ang lahat upang mawala sa paningin nila si Eloise kahit pa ang tanging paraan lang ay kamatayan. Ang matinding pagkamuhi ba ng kanilang pamilya sa isa't isa ang magiging rason sa tuluyang paghihiwalay ng dalawa? O sapat ba ang kanilang pag-ibig upang puksain ang namumutawing poot na bumabalot sa kanila?

Determined not to jump to conclusions, she supports Michael through his stress, even as her own insecurities and loneliness deepen. But everything changes during his work trip. Faced with the slow unraveling of her marriage, Holly chooses herself for the first time in years.

For the Moon Goddess has chosen her not just to lead, but to face the darkness that claimed her… and to uncover who she truly is.

I'm going ahead and arranging a wedding with someone else. Lennon Downey, Frederick and I grew up together.

They've even hurt me for her. I cried, fought, and tried to explain over and over again. I thought that they would see her for who she really is one day. However, they never did. All I got in return was betrayal, again and again. I'm done. I just want to leave. I want to disappear from their lives and never, ever see them again.

Three years into my arranged marriage with the Valachi family heir, the one that got away came back. He left me for Julia eight times. The ninth time, he left me bleeding on the side of the road with a gunshot wound to go running to Julia, who’d called him because she felt a little dizzy. "She needs me. You get that, right, Leona?" This time, I didn't fight for him. He didn't know about the bet I’d made with Julia. The ninth time he abandoned me, I would be the one to leave for good. So on his birthday, I left a set of signed divorce papers on his desk and got on a plane.
