They say when you're born rich, life comes easy. But for Nina Kendra Arce, the only heiress of a multi-billionaire family... that was never the case. She lived in a mansion, yet was locked away in a dark, suffocating room. She had the privilege to study in Ivy League schools abroad, yet was forced to give it all up. She could have lived like a princess, yet found herself bound like a slave. Hopeless, helpless, and scorned. How do you escape a prison when that prison is your home? How do you run from a demon when that demon was supposed to be your hero? And how do you break free... when the very hands that tied you down were the same hands meant to save you?

Wild, young and free... Madalas kapag sa murang edad nagsisimula ang isang relasyon, hindi gaanong siniseryoso ang mga bagay-bagay; Rash decisions, immature mindset, juvenile beliefs...but one man excluded himself among those who believe in the theories of young love. He doesn't believe in the ideals. He believes with his heart. Magagawa pa rin kaya niyang ibukod ang sarili hanggang wakas? There are some hearts who would never take their first heartbreak too lightly. Ang iba ay ginagawa pa itong pundasyon sa pagkakaroon ng baluktot na paniniwala sa relasyon at pag-ibig. Some guaranteed detestation from their erstwhile love. Just like how he bled himself dry. Everything was used to be so perfect for Dean Cornelius Ortigoza. From an up and coming rock and roll career to supportive significant others...sa murang edad ay kulang na lang at lalagpasan na niya ang mga pangarap. Mga pangarap nila. One more step to get ahold of his dreams. All in just one single reach. Just one more...until a requisition of vow became a misstep that took a three hundred and sixty degree turn. Inside out. Hearts are breaking. Promises undone. A heart turned cold. The day he became ruthless.

There's a lot of always in my life, but being trapped with you is my favorite...
