Serafina, a journalist for Sun's Bulletin, was forced to go to Negros Oriental to work as part of the Ambrosia government's media team. Nangyari ito matapos matuklasan ng administrasyon na siya pala ang nasa likod ng isang website na matagal nang bumabatikos sa kanila. Ano'ng gagawin niya? Kung hindi siya susunod, makakasuhan siya. Mawawalan siya ng trabaho. Baka pati ang career na ilang taon niyang pinaghirapan, mawala nang parang bula. Pero paano ba naman siya nahuli? She was careful. Bahala na. Wala siyang choice kundi sumunod. Sana ay maging mabait sa kanya ang bayan ng Negros Oriental. At siguro, ito na rin ang chance niyang malaman ang totoo tungkol sa pagkamatay ng kanyang mga magulang sa probinsyang ito. Iyon lang naman ang dapat niyang gawin. But she never expected everything to change when she met Theodore-a tall, tan-skinned man with downturned eyes and slicked-back hair. He was her tour guide for the package she had booked. Inis pa nga siya rito. Akala niya hindi na niya ulit ito makikita pa pagkatapos ng tour. Ngunit maliit lang ang Dumaguete. No matter where she went, he was there too... until one day, he asked her out on a date. Bakit? Para saan? Falling for someone was never part of her plan. She was only there to work-to expose the truth behind the Ambrosia government's lies. Pero ano'ng nangyari? She fell in love with Theodore-deeply and unexpectedly. Only to discover it was all a lie. He wasn't just a tour guide; he was the son of the very governor she despised. The man she trusted had been deceiving her all along. Now, she wondered-was any of it real, or was she just another pawn in his father's game?

PUBLISHED UNDER LIB Note: If you're not into flawed characters who make wrong decisions, don't read this. Save yourself from stress. Started: 10/07/2020 Ended: 11/18/2020 Elora Chin Valencia grew up in a toxic Christian family where she was viewed as the black sheep. Araw-araw ay ipinaparamdam sa kanya ng mundo na wala siyang lugar sa sarili niyang tahanan. She was a consistent dean's lister and an obedient daughter, which left her wondering what she had done so wrong to be disregarded as a speck of dust in the wind. They made her feel like she was just dirt, filling up the empty space. The one who would never have her own safe place. Feeling all of this contributed to her endless suicidal ideations. Baka nga tama sila. Baka nga wala siyang halaga at kailanman ay hindi na sasaya. She almost believed that. She almost held onto that notion. Not until she met the man in his BS Civil Engineering uniform and gorgeous grin, Troy Jefferson Dela Paz. He kissed her forehead, and her loud thoughts were silenced. Her demons calmed down. Her foes were defeated. For the first time in her life, she had proven her family wrong---a happy Elora Chin was possible. She was loved and well-taken care of. Troy embraced her sharp parts, not minding the wounds he might get. But fate had a lot of cruel things in store for her. Because when she thought she had reached the peak of happiness, she found myself drowning alone in the ocean she now called home, alone in her shame, alone with the waves she couldn't tame.
