Walang permanente sa mundo ng showbiz. Ito ang isang bagay na natutunan ni Selene nang pansamantala nitong iwan ang showbiz.

Isang eskandalo ang kinasangkutan nito kaya't ang dati'y tinitingala ay tila isang putik ngayon kung tapakan dahil sa pagkakamaling iyon.

Si Kristine ay masunuring anak at hindi mahilig makipagtalo sa kahit na sino. Maraming pumupuri sa kanya dahil sa kanyang magaling na pakikisama, kaya malaking tanong para sa kanya kung bakit hinayaan ng Diyos na mangyari sa kanya ang kanyang mga pinagdaanan? Ang second year anniversary nila ng two years boyfriend at planong pagbibigay ng sarili rito dahil sigurado na siyang ito ang lalaking gusto niyang maging asawa ay nauwi sa isang malaking eskandalo. Ang lalaking namulatan niya sa kama ay isang guwapong C.E.O. ng isang steel fabrication at inaakala naman nitong isa siyang prostitute na inarkila nito. Mabilis ding kumalat ang scandal nila na hindi rin niya alam kung paano nangyari at sino ang may gawa. Dahil doon, pilit siyang pinahihiwalay ng ina ng kanyang boyfriend sa anak nito at pinagbantaan. Maging ang kanyang ama ay galit na galit sa kanya at sinabing hinding-hindi na siya makakatungtong sa pamamahay nila hangga't hindi niya dinadala ang lalaking kasama niya sa scandal at nang araw din na iyon, nakipaghiwalay sa kanya ang kanyang boyfriend. Nagpakalayo-layo siya dahil sa kahihiyan pero maliit ang mundo dahil ang boss niya pala sa bagong trabaho ay ang mismong nakatabi niya sa kama, at ito rin ang unang nakaalam na buntis siya at ito ang ama. Pinipilit din ng lola nito na panagutan siya o aalisin ito sa kompanya. Kung magiging asawa niya ito matutuwa ang kanyang ama na isang investment ang tingin sa kanya. Magpapakasal lang sila dahil pareho nila iyong kailangan. Para kay Kristine, ang magulang na lamang niya ang mayroon siya, kahit para na lamang sa katuwaan ng mga ito ay magpapatali siya sa lalaking kasama niya sa naganap na bangungot ng buhay niya.

All because of Leo Cullen’s words, I gave up a place at a top-tier university in Ceres and stayed behind to retake the entrance exams with him—three times. By the fourth year, a girl arrived at our cram school, and Leo forgot the promise we made. He started skipping class, picking fights, smoking—doing everything but studying. One day, I stood at the school gate, blocking his path with a textbook in hand as he tried to ditch class. He smirked, unimpressed, and blew a bubble with his gum, letting it stick to the ends of my hair. “Naomi…,” he began, “who still cares about studying these days?” So I stopped caring and avoided him entirely. When he fooled around in the classroom, I went to the library. When he played basketball, I sat in a quiet corner with my books. Even when I craved noodles from my favorite shop, I’d scan the room first to make sure he wasn’t there. “Are you avoiding me, Naomi?” he asked later, his face in a frown. I shook my head. “Why would you think that?”
