When the honest and kind Ream Oliveros crosses paths with Syl, he thought he finally met his woman. But he can't be more wrong when he finds out his supposed woman is married- and he unknowingly became her illicit lover. *** Ream Oliveros is a self-made man- honest, kind, and reliable. One night in Bali makes him think he finally met the woman of his dreams, but then Syl disappears the next day with no trace or means of contact. When fate allows him to meet her again, Ream is surprised to see how timid and submissive Syl became- a completely different person from the woman who made one night in Bali, all those months ago, magical. Discovering that she needs help against her family, Ream's sense of responsibility and care for her grows stronger and stronger each day he is more attached to her. But Syl is hiding something more than her family secret: she is cheating on her husband- with Ream. Ream is the other man to Mrs. Dinsyl Descartin-Davidson. Will his love for Syl overcome her betrayal and will Ream let her corrupt him? Or is she and their love not worth going against his principles? CECELIB | C.C.
