Started: 09/09/2020 Ended: 10/07/2020 Solene Clemente was a typical Civil Engineering student who struggled to put up with her studies. Kung pwede ngang i-bake na lang ang napakaraming itlog sa test papers niya, ginawa niya na. At a young age, she experienced the harsh reality of life-poverty, abuse, and a broken family. But, as someone who could see the bright side of everything, she knew she could make it with only her mother and best friend, Duke Laurence Sanders, whom she secretly loved. Kahit pa naghihirap, basta kasama niya ang ina, kaya niya. Kahit pa madalas niyang hindi maintindihan ang lessons, ayos lang kasi may Duke naman na tuturuan siya. Na kahit gaano kalupit ang tadhana, patuloy siyang lumalaban sa buhay dahil may dalawang taong sumusuporta at nagmamahal sa kanya. She became too dependent on the love they could offer. But little did she know, like the sun she adored, she was destined to be alone.

Genesis thought she already found the love of her life. Bakit naman kasi hindi? They've been together for so long that she couldn't remember a time when she didn't know him. Akala niya sila na talaga. Malaki ang tiwala niya. She even put her life and dreams on pause para sa kanya... innocently believing that for him, she's the end game, too. Mali pala siya. But then she met Parker... who's probably the most broken soul she's ever met. Against better judgment, she fell for him. She was hoping that he'd fall for her too. She did everything right... or at least she thought she did. Pero mali na naman pala siya. Kailan ba siya sasaya? Just this once... sana naman.

Ni minsan, hindi pinangarap ni Nara na magkaroon ng love life dahil isa lang naman ang gusyo niya; ang tahimik na buhay pero nagbago ang mga iyon dahil sa isang tao. Nabuhay siya sa magulong pamilya at hindi nakatulong ang mga ito sa mga pinagdaraanan niya. Isang araw, naisipan niya na kailangan niyang lumayo at hanapin ang kaniyang Lolo at Lola. Nang makita niya ang mga ito, nanirahan siya sa bahay ng amo ng mga ito. Hindi siya makapaniwala na ang kasalukuyang pinagsisilbihan ng mga ito ay ang anak ng mga sikat na artista, na ang lalakeng walang araw na hindi siya tinignan ng masama ay ang batang nakasama niya noon sa isang advertisment. Masasabi niyang kahit papaano ay nalagay siya sa tahimik pero dala ng video na napanuod niya, na narinig ni Travis, ay nagsimula nang magroon ng kulay ang magulo niyang buhay. "Call me daddy." utos nito at hindi niya alam ang gagawin niya nang marinig ito.
