"I don't do commitments, Sophie. Especially not with my best friend's sister." Isang gabi. Isang pagkakamali. What was meant to be a masked one-night escape turns into a lifetime secret when Sophie discovers her mystery lover is Jace Velez—the ruthless billionaire CEO and her brother’s best friend.

Sa loob ng five years of marriage, ngayon lang luminaw ang lahat na hindi siya ang mahal nito. "Shuvee, Scarlett is pitiful coming back alone. I'm just helping her as a friend," paliwanag ni Azrael habang nag-eempake para sa kabilang kwarto. "I understand," tipid na sagot ni Shuvee. Maging ang birthday ni Scarlett sa isang private island ay pinuntahan nito. "I promised her, Shuvee. I'm just fulfilling a promise," giit ni Azrael. "Okay," sagot niya muli. Kahit nang sabihin nitong mas "suitable" si Scarlett bilang assistant sa isang banquet kaysa sa kanya, tumango lang siya. "Okay, go ahead."

Secretly, she studied English, passed the IELTS, and secured her student visa. Noong araw na lumabas ang approval, nilapag niya ang divorce papers. "Don't be ridiculous.

"Shuvee, I will bring you back even if I have to go to the ends of the earth!"
