Her life is full of lies, have many hidden secrets and delusions, way too far from a simple and ordinary life. It all started with the accident that happened to her mom and all the blame was pointed to her. That event changed her life. Everyone around her became hypocritical, everyone had a hidden secret and intentions. But he came into her life and helped her leave the world she's been suffering for a long time, a world that is full of lies. She fell in love with him, but destiny is too playful. When he confessed his feelings to her, Hayacinth rejected him, because for her, a love is not enough to heal a wounded past and a broken soul. Her tears fell down when the person she loves dropped the line that she doesn't want to let others know, that 'kahit magsinungaling ang bibig mo, nagpapakatotoo pa rin ang mga mata'. It marked her mind and her soul. She didn't know what to do at those times because of being hurt, of being not enough and not worthy. She was too afraid to gamble when it comes to the word 'love'. What she wanted to do in those time is to know the truth, to unveil every hidden secret and find the every page of A Book of Lies.

My husband took our six-year-old daughter on a fishing trip, but when his first love called, he left her alone to answer his phone. With no one watching her, our daughter fell into the sea, and we never recovered her body. Heartbroken, I called him and begged him to return, but his voice was cold as he said, “Cheyenne, today’s Queenie's birthday. Can you stop being such a buzzkill?” When I stumbled back home in despair, I found his first love clinging provocatively to him, a smug smile on her face. “What’s got you so upset, sis-in-law?” she sneered. I let out a cold laugh and flipped the dining table over. “As long as you’re alive, I’ll never be happy.”

"Up until now, my life made sense. Up until now, I had been sheltered away from a world where murder was acceptable and debts were payment.

But the last thing I expected was to be thrown in the deep end, fighting for everything I loved." Emiliana was moving on from what she lost, her safety, security, and the love. But what happens when her bodyguard comes back and shows her that the life her family had protected her from, is the life she fits into?

Pinagmasdan ko ang pamilyang Villiary.. masayang pamilya, mayaman at mababait rin ang mga taong ito pero hindi ko lang maintindihan kung bakit kinulong nila dito ang nagiisa nilang anak. Walang kaibigan at walang muwang sa mundo. Kahit twenty years old na ito para siyang bata kung umasta. Isa lang naman ang masisi ko kundi ang parents niya. Hindi magalit ang anak niya sa ginawa nila dahil napaka inosente ni Irriene. Hindi niya alam kung anong nangyari sa labas ng mansyon nila. Wala rin siyang pakialam dahil simula bata nandito na siya sa loob. Umiyak ito na parang bata sa harap ng mommy at daddy niya habang ang mommy niya kinausap siya na parang bata rin. Okay lang sana kung tratuhin siya ng nababagay sa edad niya pero hindi. Tama lang na ipakilala ko si Dinnese sa kanya para mabantayan ko parin siya kahit hindi ako nagtuturo sa kanya. The world is cruel and her world is the worst.
