Enrique Olin Villegas hates purple. Kung pwede nga lamang niyang kamuhian lahat ng kulay na may kinalaman sa kulay na iyon ay ginawa na niya. That color depicts one thing for him: bruises. Hindi lamang iyon, that particular guy who caused him the hatred loves wearing a t-shirt in that color.
Tampulan siya ng tukso mula pa pagkabata. Kilala na nga siyang punching bag ng mga bully sa eskwelahan. Dahil iyon sa pagiging kolektor ng basura ng kaniyang ama at pagiging tindera ng kaniyang ina; na kahit kailan hindi niya ikinahiya.
Ngunit sabi nga sa kasabihan, 'bilog ang mundo.' Ang pamilya nila ang isa sa naging depinisyon ng 'from rugs to riches.' Mula sa pagiging isang kahig, isang tuka, sila na ngayon ang may-ari ng pinakasikat na bakery sa loob at labas ng bansa. They own several branches around the world and became one of the most richest families in the country.
Makalipas ang ilang taon, the hatred is still there, at nadala niya iyon hanggang sa pagpapatakbo ng kanilang kumpanya. He fires everyone he sees using something purple. Little did he know, isang babae palang mahilig doon ang bibihag ng puso niya.
Hindi lamang puso... Kundi ng buong pagkatao niya. It is as if he is bewitched. Anita Yu, a lavender farmer, awakened his hidden desires. Kahit anong pigil niya roon, may kakaibang pwersa talaga na naghahatak sa kaniya papalapit sa babaeng iyon. And so, he let his desires take over, and vowed to seduce her no matter what it takes.
Ngunit ano ang kaniyang gagawin kapag nalaman niya ang tunay na pagkatao ni Anita? Ano ang kaniyang gagawin kung ang babae palang bumihag ng kaniyang puso ay kapatid ng lalaking naging bangungot ng kaniyang pagkabata?
Will he be willing to forgive for the sake of his love? Or will he just forget that he was once bewitched by the purple lady...?
Beneath a broken mask lies the truth behind the façade, and while masks can conceal pain, they cannot mend wounds. In the end, no mask was worth the torture. However, to Midnight Velasquez, who was forced to wear a mask since he was young, the mask hiding his true face was a façade he was ready to keep for a lifetime.
However, what occurs when the mask begins to break, revealing the dreadful things concealed beneath it? Would he have the courage to confront his true self reflected in the mirror, or would the remnants of his broken mask consume him and drag him into the depths of despair?
With a broken mask, a battered body and a weary soul, Midnight couldn't help pondering... is this life worth living for?
