[PUBLISHED UNDER PSICOM] BOOK 1 of IMPROBUS ILLE IMPERIUM "Behind those smiles are playful lies, and behind those lies, the horror of the past awaits."

Angela promised Dylan to wait for him. Kasabay ng pangakong iyon ay ang kanyang sumpa na matututo siyang lumaban at ipagtanggol ang sarili laban sa mga umaapi sa kanya. She promised, but Dylan never returned. With a broken heart yet an unyielding desire to be with Dylan again, Angela set out to find him. Natagpuan niya ang binata, ngunit ang sakit na nadama niya ay nadagdagan nang malamang hindi na siya nito naaalala. Determined to rekindle his memory, she did everything to make him remember. But it wasn't the gentle, timid Angela who faced him this time. Dylan had once told her: "Huwag kang magpaapi. Huwag mong hayaang saktan ka ng iba, pisikal man o emosyonal. Huwag kang maging mahina." And so, Angela transformed into a fierce, unapologetic woman. Gone was the soft-hearted Angela. She became the rebellious, sharp-tongued Angela who thrived on... chaos? Will Dylan recognize the woman she has become? Will he see that this blue-eyed rebel is still his blue-eyed angel? At sa gitna ng lahat ng ito, isang tanong ang nagpapalala sa gulo: Sino ang nagtatangka sa buhay ni Angela?

Ilang beses ba nating tinanong ang sarili natin kung mapapansin ba tayo ng mga taong mahal natin? Ilang beses ka ba magtatanong sa buong buhay mo? At ano sa tingin mo ang magiging sagot? "Mapapansin kaya ako? Ang pag-ibig ko? Ang katauhan ko? Mapapansin Kaya?" Paano kung hindi? Paano kung oo? Magkaiba ba ang gagawin mong desisyon o pareho lang? Mag-iiba ba ang pananaw mo o magpapatuloy ka lang sa kung anong alam mong constant? Umaatikabong fame laban sa umaatikabong pag-ibig.
