Five years ago, the cold-blooded murder of a respected hospital director shook the city. No one ever found the killer-no one ever knew why. Now, Maddie Alcatraz hides behind the quiet hum of a coffee machine and the peaceful lie of a new name. Her life is simple, silent... and steeped in secrets. Enter Aveena "Avi" Jimenez-a bright, compassionate doctor working night shifts who stumbles upon Maddie's tucked-away café. One cup of coffee turns into two. Then three. Then late-night conversations and lingering glances. But what happens when Avi learns that the woman she's falling for might be the one who shattered her family? In a world where the past never stays buried, can love still bloom-or will it all come down to a bitter aftertaste?

Dr. Mikhaela Janna Lim, a renowned surgeon and the ex lover of Maraiah Queen Arceta, a famous judge-prosecutor, crossed paths with her past lover with many unanswered questions.

Eight years had passed since A'ishah left Maxine behind, her heart heavy with regret. Now back in the Philippines, A'ishah has transformed herself, emerging as a sharp, fearless lawyer from London. But her first night out in the city collided with fate in a way she hadn't expected. In the dim light of a bustling bar, she spotted Maxine, her Maxine, now a hardened detective with a steely gaze and a heart as cold as the gun at her hip. She barely acknowledged A'ishah, her tone clipped, her eyes guarded. Any trace of the warmth they'd once shared was buried under layers of detachment, leaving A'ishah's heart hollow yet yearning. But as cases forced them to cross paths, the tension simmered between them, sparkling embers of a love neither could bury. Now, as shadows from their past creep back, A'ishah and Maxine must confront their buried feelings and survive a danger that's closer than they think. Blood-soaked letters surfaced, each message more chilling, with threats that tied directly to the painful memories they'd tried to forget.

A'ishah stood out in the vibrant city of Manila, not just because she was new, but because her calm demeanor suggests that her poise and serenity are so exceptional that they seem almost too perfect for this world, giving her an almost magical, out of this world beauty. Fresh from London, she moved to the Philippines to take care of her mother, a woman broken by her own husband and now clinging to A'ishah for emotional support. Despite her mother's demands and the weight of these expectations, A'ishah remained a picture of grace and composure. But underneath her serene exterior, A'ishah was struggling. She felt trapped in a cycle of trying to be perfect for her mother, while longing for the freedom to live her own life. It was a tough balancing act, made harder by her mother's relentless need for control. Despite feeling drained, A'ishah held on, buoyed by the love of her supportive best friend who always got her back, Nicole. Nicole is A'ishah's childhood best friend, who was more like a sister and a role model for her. Nicole introduced A'ishah to her circle of friends, and that's when things began to change. These new friends brought warmth and laughter into A'ishah's life, especially Maxine, who was her complete opposite: lovely, chatty, and full of care. Maxine was like a burst of sunshine in A'ishah's previously gloomy world. With each day, A'ishah found herself looking forward to spending time with her new friends. They were helping her rediscover joy and giving her a glimpse of a happier, more fulfilling life. For the first time in a while, she felt like she was on the path to not just surviving but truly living. But everything has an end. An end for all the pain she's going through. But also an end for everything she started to love too. But how can she be selfish? Should she choose the chance to fix their family and leave the life she grew to love with Maxine, or... Just stay. Stay and... work things out.
