The cold whispers of the rainy season knocked Fauna's senses from the deep cave of her thoughts. The spoiled walls of her heart never wished this worst thing to happen. Invisible creatures even knew how much she hated Attorney Dash Laur Saravia...for the reason she buried insider her soul. But she never prayed for him to suffer like this. She just wished he would unlove her totally. But she knew from the romance point of view, it didn't mean love. It didn't mean passion, understanding, and love match. From Attorney Saravia's point of view, it means power...it means control, rule, authority, dominance.

Everything he did, he did it for his work. Lahat ng ginagawa nito ay para sa negosyo. The biggest law firm in the country was standing strong on its thirty-floors at the center of the bustling city of Manila. He would do everything to acquire connections just so it could survive for a hundred years later. His family is a family of lawyers, judges, and lawmakers. Sikat ang pamilya nito hindi lamang patungkol sa abogasya, kundi pati na rin sa mga marriages na ganito.

If you're a lawyer from Saravia's, you need to marry from a family whose name was also in the same field. Fauna had the privileged to know the delicate secrets of his family because he was her brother's bestfriend since the first century. He was the rightful heir to the firm in this generation, he needed to marry from a family like hers.

The Macapagals. It was requested from him. No one would believe that Attorney Dash Saravia, the cold and the ever-busy-serious-dragon heir of the Saravia's Monarchy of Laws...was over heels in love with her.

His family had rumored to connect their name to the Valencias. A well-known family of lawyers also for the past generations. Unfortunately, their only daughter had been captured by a businessman. Pinalipas iyon ng mga Saravia at Valencia kaya naghanap agad ang patriarch ng mga Saravia sa kung sino ang ipapalit.

At hindi na dapat itatanong sa kung sino ang dapat ipalit. She didn't want a life where she could be an option from a hideous fixed marriage. Dahil hindi available ang isa, siya na agad ang itutulak sa bangin. Hindi pumayag ang Daddy niya sa in-offer ng mga Saravia, and thank God for that...since the Macapagals were eyeing Diego's family name. Life was better because of that. Dahil alam niyang nagkakasundo ang pamilya nilang dalawa. But his desperate love ruined her hopes and dreams.

She had been silently sobbing her heart out after it was broken into pieces after she and Diego talked properly. Hindi siya umasa na mamahalin siya ng lalaki kapag ikakasal man sila dahil alam niyang may mahal itong iba, pero umasa siyang makakasama niya ito habang buhay.

She was selfish. Maybe. She needed to be selfish.

Si Diego ay isa sa mga kaibigan ng kapatid niyang si Fabian. He was cool and playful...and sweet. Playboy pero alam niyang magbabago kapag nagmahal. Not knowing that another girl had done the job perfectly.

Dash on the other hand...was the devil in human form. Whenever he walked inside a room, it loomed into his darkness as if the air would compress for him. Hindi niya kayang humarap sa lalaki dahil natatakot siya sa presensiya nito. She was uncomfortable and she was always sucking her breath just so it could come in and out of her easily. He sucked positive energy. He pulsated darkness that could get any girl down on her knees. Sumisikip ang paligid kapag nandiyan ang lalaki.

Ayaw niya ng ganoong presensiya na tila'y tinatakot siya.

Alam niya agad na ito ang pumalit sa inuupuan ni Diego dahil naramdaman niya agad ang kakaibang init sa paligid. The brooding and dark physiques of him consumed the whole atmosphere.

"He doesn't deserve your tears," his voice low but it sipped through her. Nanlamig agad siya. Anger vibrated in his voice.

"I am the one to decide who will deserve my tears or who will not. Ayaw kitang kaharap sa ganitong pagkakataon at kahit sa anumang pagkakataon ng buhay ko. Bakit ka ba sulpot nang sulpot? Get away from here! I don't need you! Huwag ako iyong ginagambala mo!"
