Luciana was just an orphan who almost lost hope of getting adopted, most children her age don't have that kind of luxury. Almost all parents prefer to adopt babies or toddlers but everything changed when she was adopted by Governor Abrahim Delos Santos. Her adoptive parents showered her with all the love that she thought she could never have. Now, she's a well-known prima ballerina, and her father is running for the highest seat in the country. Everything seemed so perfect until she fell in love with the most wanted criminal that her father has been after for so many years. Will she choose the family who chose her or the man her heart beats for?.

"Luciana" Mahinang sambit ni Jophiel habang nakatingin sa akin. His gaze reflected pain and love.

Love.
How could he still love me?

Jophiel closed his eyes and leaned his forehead against mine. Tears were rolling down his cheeks. Paos na din ang boses neto. I wanted to feel the moment of being close to him. I wanted to close my eyes pero I can't bear the images that flashed before my eyes.

"Luciana.." Ulit niya. Ngayon ay nakatingin na sa aking mga mata. He wiped away the tear that rolled down my cheeks. Kinabig niya ang batok ko papunta sa kanyang leeg upang mayakap ako. I feel his heavy weight, parang hinang hina na siya sa lahat ng bagay kaya hindi niya masuportahan ang sarili. He hugged me tight as if I'm his source of strength.
"I feel like I'm betraying myself when I feel how much I love you...parang kinain ko lahat ng nangyari saakin." He said.

Which made me sob. I don't deserve him. This is the kind of love reserved for people who are pure, who are kind, who are everything good in this world.

... and for the life of me, I don't know how he can love me this much.
