BLURB

The story puts in the picture of Julie Anne San Jose, a businesswoman and owner of an Insurance Company, whose business is on the bleak of bankruptcy.

Can a trust grounded on benefits and lies be a sufficient enough to cradle a beautiful relationship between the two? In the world where greed is the norm for survival, can you use trust too in order to cope up or will it be the reason of your downfall? Can true happiness be obtained whenever a person’s ego is satisfied through fraud?

Is it worthy to step into darkness just to obtain something you desire most?

Characters’ Background:

Julie Anne San Jose is an honest and kind person who easily trusts other people. She is like a typical shy Filipina who avoids all sorts of confrontation as possible; this is the reason why she also shun every court litigation and decided to enter the business world instead. Though she is a good writer and speaker, her shyness makes her prone to stuttering whenever she faces argumentation. She is more of a thinker than a doer; she often uses her emotions to decide things.

Elmo Moses Magalona, unlike Julie, is sly, devious, streetwise, and criminally intelligent. His life became miserable after the traumatic death of his family. His past experience made him what he is right now.  Physically, Elmo’s appearance doesn’t give any hint of slyness in him. His face looks innocent, kind and naïve but in reality he is as cold as he is efficient. Despite of his great talent and intelligence, Elmo wasn’t able to finish his education due to his misfortunes. Elmo prefers to use solid logic to do his biddings, for him emotions are nothing but mere tools for deception.
