Heart Shaped Box

Winifred Jaeger comes from an ordinary family. She meets Timothy Stringer, a rich heir who falls for her at first sight. He immediately starts pursuing her with gusto. Winifred knows they're from different worlds, so she keeps rejecting him. He doesn't give up, though. When she wants to have food from her hometown, he steps into the kitchen for the first time ever. He cooks for her, relishing in it despite getting scalded. When she wants to have candy, he lines up in the dead of winter to get it for her. The iciness and sharp wind don't faze him. She likes fringe tree flowers, so he gets seeds from all over the world. He covers a mountaintop with them for her. She likes making desserts, so he buys ingredients for her from various places. He's more than happy to test her finished products. When she's in a bad mood, he makes sure to cheer her up despite being sick. When Winifred graduates from college, Timothy spreads 99,999 roses on the field to propose to her. She finally realizes she's long since fallen for him, so she says yes. Everyone says she's lucky to have met a man who loves her so and thinks of her as his only one. Yet it's precisely this man who cheats on her when they're about to get married. He tells her he loves her, yet he almost manically tries to have a baby with his mistress. Heartbroken and devastated, Winifred chooses to leave. It's only after she's gone that Timothy searches for her like crazy. When he finds her, he does everything possible to beg her to go back to him. He paces outside her door and begs her incessantly, his eyes red-rimmed. However, she turns him down calmly. "It's too late—you're a closed chapter in my book, and I'm already on a new chapter." Winifred turns to look at a tall, handsome man standing nearby—Timothy's childhood friend, Cyrus Littrell.

I wanted to break away from her, be free... but why did she step on all my plans? Why did she want to keep me chained to her? She made me numb for the longest time until I met Dominic Black. He made a fire spark in my empty chest. He made me feel things, things I'd never felt before. I wanted to have him... except, he would now be my new stepbrother. Just another thing my mother took from me.

One day, after getting rear-ended outside my office, I, Maeve Dahlman, call out for help, but Austin Cooper, who is simply passing by with Carmen Holt, merely glances at me impatiently, annoyed that I've disrupted their lunch plans. Instead of helping, he has his assistant take me to his private club and lock me in a room, accusing me of being paranoid and dramatic. "I'll give you three days to calm down," he says before walking away and leaving me in isolation. Eventually, I escape and call the police. An ambulance rushes me to the hospital, where doctors diagnose me with a brain injury that requires immediate surgery. I keep calling Austin, only to realize that he has blocked my number. Then, I see Carmen's latest post online, gushing about a romantic luxurious dinner with him. After I'm discharged, I cancel the wedding, destroy all the invitations, and finally call my mother. "Mom," I say, "I've made up my mind. I'm ready to meet him."

Childhood love. Diyan nagsimula ang lahat. Akala ko matamis ang unang pag-ibig. Pero ito pala ang magtuturo sa akin na sa buhay ay hindi puro kasiyahan lamang— na ang reyalidad sa mundo ay may kaakibat na paghihirap at sakit. Ibinigay ko ang lahat na kahit ang pangarap kong maging engineer ay isinakripisyo ko alang-alang sa lalakeng minamahal ko. Akala ko ay sapat na iyon para masungkit ko ang puso niya at ipaalala sa kanya ang mga pangakong binitiwan niya. Pero hindi pa pala sapat kahit na pati sarili ko ay ibinigay ko ng buo sa kanya. Walang kulang, labis-labis na pagmamahal. Lumayo ako dala ang bunga ng aking pagmamahal at ng kanyang kapusukan. Hindi ko sinalba ang sarili ko, sinalba ko ang magiging anak ko. Muli, inakala kong nakalaya na ako sa bulag na pag-ibig. Pero sadyang mapagbiro ang tadhana— nagkita kaming muli sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon. Wala siyang maalala. Ginamit ko iyon para makapaghiganti. Pero hanggang kailan ko lolokohin ang sarili? Hanggang kailan ako tatakbo para hanapin ang sariling minsang nawala dahil sa aking unang pag-ibig?
