If we were to talk about making the first move, boys are usually the ones who do it, but not in the case of Ireena Razon. For her, it was a now or never situation.

You only turn 17 once in your lifetime, and after that, you can't afford to make foolish decisions anymore, she thought. Little did she know, this "foolish" 17-year-old decision she was about to make would shape the rest of her life. Book Cover from: Su Minh in Pexels

Calypso Mikhail Buenvenidez Fontana was never smitten nor whipped for a woman. He was known to be that Buenvenidez man who doesn't like to be involved in serious relationships nor be a head over heels because for him, love is a rational thing. It has to be logical and you need to have a clear-eye to find it, and he got no time for that until he met Richela Dela Vega, the woman who likes someone else, his cousin, Max Buenvenidez.
