Meursault The Stranger

Hindi kailanman inakala ni Hestia Vale na ang simpleng blind date na dinaluhan niya sa Araw ng mga Puso ang magiging simula ng pinakamasalimuot na kabanata ng buhay niya. Ang plano lang niya noon ay makatakas sa mapang-abusong tiyahin at magkaroon ng bagong simula, pero natapos ang gabi na ikinasal siya sa isang lalaking ngayon niya lang nakilala. Misteryoso. Malamig. Mapanganib. ’Yan si Lucian “Ian” Escalera, ang lalaking nag-alok ng kasal na parang isang business deal. Sa bawat titig at bawat salita nito, alam ni Hestia na may itinatago siya—isang lihim na maaaring magpabago ng lahat. Akala ni Hestia, ligtas na siya sa mga kamay ng pamilya niyang mapagsamantala. Pero nang makilala niya ang tunay na pagkatao ng napangasawa—ang tagapagmana ng isa sa pinakamalalaking korporasyon sa bansa—mas malaking gulo ang naghihintay. Sa pagitan ng kasunduang kasal at mga lihim na unti-unting nabubunyag, pipilitin ni Hestia na protektahan hindi lang ang puso niya, kundi pati ang kalayaan niyang pinangarap. Ngunit paano kung ang lalaking dapat ay iwasan niya… ang siya ring unti-unting minamahal?
