She never wanted the good guy. She wanted the kind of man who could ruin her.
Gumamela has always had a weakness for men who ooze testosterone-confident, dominant, and dangerous enough to keep her heart beating a little too fast. Just like her ex-boyfriend, Polding, who left her broken after making her believe he was the one.
So when Red came into her life, she wasn't interested.
He was too kind. Too patient. Too damn good for her.
But when Red started courting her, even her family pushed her to give him a chance. Gumamela thought, why not? Maybe love could grow with time. Maybe she could learn to love a man who treated her right.
Then Polding came back.
One appearance was enough to turn her carefully arranged world upside down. Old feelings resurfaced, misunderstandings followed, and before Gumamela knew it, she and Red were already drifting apart.
And ironically, it was only when she lost him that she finally understood the truth-
She was already hopelessly in love with Red.
So Gumamela made a decision.
This time, she would be the one to chase.
She would win Red back-even if it meant swallowing her pride, facing his rejection, and doing everything she could to make him look at her the way he used to.
She even serenaded him.
But Red?
Deadma.
Because apparently, the sweet, patient man she once took for granted has learned how to say no.
And now that Gumamela finally wants him, Red seems determined to make her suffer for every second she made him wait.
A second chance at love. A little obsession. A lot of temptation.
Because sometimes, the person you thought was too good for you...
turns out to be the one who can destroy you best.
