Insecure, selfish, and coward. If Verbena Regencia will be asked how does she describe herself, those three words will be her answer. Alam niya sa sarili niya na ganoon ang magiging tingin ng tao sa kaniya kapag nalaman ng lahat ang mga ginawa niya noon. She was given a chance to leave her home and when she did, she did not dare to come back. The arrival of her brother and his best friends suddenly made her reminisce everything after almost three years of not coming home---Why she had to move away and why she had to stay away from her family for years, all those questions reminded her that she should avoid them.

Like the uncontrollable beast that he is, he caught and trapped her. The tables have turned and now, he controlled everything-made her fall in love with him. But is everything even real or was it just all a play? Paano kung kailangan niya ng sabihin ang lahat...handa na ba siya para roon? Handa na ba siyang mawala ang lahat sa kaniya?
