In a garden full of roses, how many of us cared for a single thorn? Whenever we glide on every single rose, we hate it when our dress gets caught up by a thorn. But you say it's your favorite? How much pain can you endure by accepting that every single rose has multiple thorns that can prick you, hurt you, and leave you wounded?
For Hardin Grathia Costan, the thorns should be hidden. It should be buried and should never see the light of day.
Iyon ang palaging utos ng kaniyang boyfriend. Kapalit ng lahat ng naitulong nito sa kaniya simula nang mawala ang kaniyang mga magulang. Sa pag-aaral at sa buhay na meron siya ngayon. Ayos lang sa kaniyang sumunod palagi sa utos. After all, everyone loves roses, their petals, and their sweet scent. Everyone yearns for perfection. Hindi tinatanggap kung hindi perpekto. Iniiwan kapag hindi sumusunod.
She's so used to being the perfect girlfriend. The obedient one. A trophy. Her boyfriend can make her do a lot of things that even she, herself, cannot imagine doing. Change the way she dresses? Stop listening to her favorite artists. Even zip her mouth while he cheats? Okay.
But when an unexpected thing happened, her boyfriend needed the money to save his grandmother, his only parent growing up. He traded her for millions. And now, she needed to be a girlfriend for someone she didn't even love. His boyfriend's boss, Flame Augustus Monforte. By the hopes that someday, all of her sacrifices for him would be reciprocated.
But how is that Flame able to take out the thorn from the rose I built? I thought it was supposed to be hidden. It should be buried, right? Never to see the light of day? Why am I confused all of a sudden? I am giving him the rose that everyone wants but... why is he craving for my thorns?

NABALIW AKO SA ISANG BALIW
Isa siyang baliw. Iyon ang tawag sa kanya ng lahat. Ngunit maniwala ka ba kapag sinabi ko na nabaliw ako sa isang baliw na tulad ni Zed Daven Ashford? Hindi ko naman kasi akalain na ang isang tinaguriang Bad Girl ng University na tulad ko ay sangkot sa isang laro na "Find Your Love" na mismo ang mga kaibigan ko rin ang salarin. Ayun, napasubo akong manligaw sa isang gwapong lalaki na hindi ko alam, wala pala sa sarili niyang katinuan. Ngunit alam niyo kung ano ang mas nakakatawa? Dahil kung saan pa na nahulog na ang loob ko sa kanya, saka ko pa lang nalaman, na ang isa pa lang baliw na aking kinababaliwan, ay hindi totoong baliw ngunit nagpapanggap lang, at nag-iisang tagapagmana ng hindi mabilang na yaman ng kanilang angkan. Kung ako ay ikaw, itutuloy mo pa rin ba na mahalin siya? o susuko ka na lang dahil alam mo, na hindi ka na, nababagay sa kanya? Kahit mahal ko siya, pinili ko pa rin ang lumayo sa kanya dahil ikakasal na siya sa babaeng gusto ng kanyang pamilya. Akala ko dahil sa ginawa ko maging tahimik na ang buhay namin pareho, ngunit mali pala ako. Isang gabi ginahasa ako ng lalaking hindi ko kilala. Ngunit Mafia King ang tawag sa kanya ng mga tauhan niya. Pagkatapos ng gabing yon tinapon nila ako sa tambakan ng basurahan na parang isang basahan. After 5 years umuwi kami ng Pilipinas ng anak ko ngunit hindi ko inaasahan na malaman, na ang lalaking nanghalay sakin 5 years ago ay walang iba kundi ang lalaking minahal ko. Kung nasubaybayan mo ang kwento ng buhay ko, sa tingin mo makakaya mo pa bang tanggapin siya sa kabila ng pag sira niya sa kinabukasan mo? O patawarin mo na lang siya para sa anak mo?
