Just like in the movies, Nanis dreams of escaping Isla del Fuego and becoming rich, leaving behind the life she knows. But there's one problem-her best friend, Samuel, refuses to support her dream. He can't bear the thought of her leaving his side. Their world shatters when Samuel's parents are killed, and grief turns into a burning desire for revenge. As Samuel's heart hardens with vengeance, Nanis vows to protect him, no matter the cost. Together, they hatch a plan to elope and leave Isla del Fuego behind for a new life in Manila. But can they truly escape the island that holds their darkest memories, or will one of them be trapped by their past, consumed by the melancholia of what could have been?

Athena Penelope Jocson has always lived in the space between not enough and maybe someday. As the middle child, she grew up believing that recognition wasn't something she was given-it was something she had to earn. So instead of walking straight into an executive office with her family's surname, she chose to start at the bottom as an administrative assistant, determined to prove that she deserved every step upward. Planado na ang lahat. That's how Athena is. Until she found out that the supervisor she'll be reporting to is none other than her ex-boyfriend.
