Highmore Lourde Casino, was a famous name in Stone Academy for he was sarcastic, cold, and a terror Professor. Apart from that, this 24-year-old college Professor wasn't dating anyone even though he already had everything you would ask for from a man; looks, body, and wealth. Until one day, a girl caught his interest - one of his students. She was the woman he had a one-night stand with when he went to the bar on the last night of his vacation. Even though he was drunk that night, he still remembered everything he did, and one of them was the woman he had sex with, Audrie Festejo - a funny freshman student in the school where he was teaching. But he was complacent that Audrie wouldn't recognize him. But since their paths met, Audrie didn't stop Highmore already. She became a die-hard-lover of her Professor, but his heart was truly hard as a rock because whatever Audrie does, he always ignored it. Now, how could Audrie play with fire if that fire wasn't as hot but as cold as ice? But what if she would find out that she was pregnant? Would she still chase Highmore or would she now chase who the father was of the child she was carrying?

"Sa pag-alis mo, isama mo na rin ang monster na nasa tiyan mo at paki usap wag na kayong magpakita pa kahit kelan." -Seth Sandoval Tanging ang munting hikbi ko lamang ang maririnig kasabay nang patak ng ulan sa madilim na kalangitan. Ayokong sumuko pero eto na yun diba? Habang binibigkas nya ang mga katagang unti-unting pumapatay sa pagkatao ko, walang halong sigaw o ano mang emosyon ang nakikita ko sa mahal kong asawa. "eto ba talaga ang gusto mo?" pigil hininga kong tanong sa kanya. Umaasang magbabago pa ang desisyon nya. Pero hindi na sya muling nagsalita pa. Siguro nga eto na ang huli. Siguro nga hanggang dito na lang. Kasi kahit kelan hindi naman niya ako binigyan ng puwang sa buhay nya. Sa larong ito, ako ang talo. -Fern Reyes- Sandoval
