Prologue
Have you ever been in love?
Horrible, isn't it?
It makes you feel vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.
I build up all these defenses, I build up all a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt me. I've been hurt a million times and I don't want to feel it again. But he came. Van Adams, a stupid person no different from any other stupid person wanders in my stupid life.
I let him in. I gave him a piece of me.
I learned to love again. Not until, I learned that he's a mafia member. Sinong hindi matatakot, hindi ba? But love conquers all. I accepted him inspite of that. We're happy. really. I thought that everything will be alright at that time.
But AGAIN. HE was killed.
" Van, I wore your promise on my finger. I'll wear your name in my heart till I die. Because you were my boy, my only boy forever. I'll make him pay. I'll make his life miserable. He took away your life and mine in just a snap. FIRO MONTEALEGRE. I'll make your life a living hell. MARK MY WORDS. "
