Emma Sison  was once  a woman who was living her life to the fullest  - parties, night hangouts, malls and a lot more sessions of wasting and splurging of money. 

One day,  Emma met the so called sexy and oh so hot driver that her parents hired for her. Carter is the name. The man, who Emma never thought, that can be her greatest downfall.  She just can't deny the fact that she drools over him every single time she sees him, she's just totally whipped over her damn sexy driver. 

Cliche but isn't that the whole concept of being inlove? Yeah, she is inlove with Carter.

Carter opened a whole new world, she never expected to experience in her whole lifetime- and she was  happy. She really was.  But just when she was about to enjoy the blossom of her new life, that's when everything started to mess up and tremendously get dirty. 

Pieces didn't come all together that caused both of them to be hurt by those shattered glasses full of memories, love and pain. 

Emma believed in love because of Carter. But Carter as well was the one who made her doubt and question the existence of it. 

In a world full of promises, full of commitments and pledges. It really is hard to dissect the truth between the thin line of truth and  lies- and Emma was one of the unlucky people, who believed in that cursed word called, promises. 

Destiny played its game which caused an unfortunate turn out of events for both Emma and Carter, letting them cross their paths again after 3 years full of heartbreaks and resentment towards each other. Carter as the oh so hot billionaire and Emma as a mere commoner. 

Will there be a chance for unforgettable promises to be fulfilled? Or will everything just never be the same after Emma met Hetty- Carter's fiance? Leaving all those promises vanquished and broken, will Emma finally move forward, believing promises don't last?
