Pero ang tulong na ito ay may kapalit—isang kasunduang magdudugtong sa kanilang dalawa sa paraang hindi niya inaasahan. Habang ang takot at galit ni Cali ay tuluyang nagtulak sa kanya na lumaban, natagpuan niya ang sarili sa mas kumplikadong sitwasyon kasama si Lewis. Ngunit sa kabila ng panganib, ang pag-aalaga at kapanatagang ibinibigay nito ang muling nagbigay sa kanya ng pag-asa sa pag-ibig. Sa laban ng kapangyarihan, pagnanasa, at pagtataksil—sino ang pipiliin ni Cali? Ang asawang gagawin ang lahat para maangkin siyang muli, o ang lalaking gumugulo sa kanyang isipan at puso?
