TORN. This is an understatement of what Penelope feels at the moment. She's torn between two men in her life: the Knight in Shining Armor in the person of her best friend, Dylan Hontiveros; and the Dark Knight, the infamous ruthless manwhore, Rafael Elizalde. Though she's a wife and a mom of twins with her Knighty, her heart still yearns for the Dark Knight that did not only used her for his own pleasure and whims, but crushed her fragile and young heart as well.
With all the white lies, dark secrets, words that aren't verbalized in the past resurrected as Rafael taunts her, will she be able to get hold of her sanity and do the honorable thing to stay faithful not just emotionally but physically with Dylan despite all the cobweb of white lies she fed him? Will she be able to own up the consequences of her hasty decisions and emotional-driven actions in the past? Most importantly, will she be able to choose only one with the knights in her life when the situation calls for it? She blatantly knew from the start that 'choosing' will be a horrible catastrophe for her, especially the twins, and the Knights in her life. In order to have freedom from the chains of pain and regrets in the past, she must choose. However, she must not only choose for her own good and benefit, but for all the people involved. And that is she must be strong and rational enough to choose the Right Knight to make her disastrous life be whole again.
