Lucas Manansala has always known who he was meant to be-the heir to the Manansala Group, groomed for power, responsibility, and control. But long before the boardrooms and expectations, there was Trixie-the girl he met in a park at eight years old, the one who became his best friend, his safe place, his first love.
By sixteen, their friendship had turned into something deeper. By eighteen, it was everything. And then, without explanation, Trixie walked away.
Shattered and unable to stay, Lucas fled to New York, carrying unanswered questions and a heartbreak that never fully healed. Three years later, he returns a changed man-successful, guarded, and fueled by one goal: make Trixie fall in love with him again, just so he can leave her the way she left him.
But revenge isn't as simple as he imagined. Old feelings resurface, unresolved truths linger, and the line between pretending and wanting blurs dangerously. The more time Lucas spends with Trixie, the harder it becomes to ignore the love that never truly died.
In a story of second chances, emotional scars, and love tested by pride and pain, Lucas and Trixie must decide-are they brave enough to fight for each other, or will it be their final goodbye?
