Thryel De Leon sees life as a one-way trip. You'll encounter tons of struggles and difficulties along the way, but you can no longer go back midway or do a U-turn. It's either you go through those obstacles or you get stuck.
She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, the perks of being the only child of well-known business tycoons.
As the spoiled brat that she is, she will never, ever accept rejection. So, when Engineer Artheosce Laurent declined her feelings, she promised herself that he would not be the first person to go against her desires.
She was rejected by him once, then twice, then thrice, until it was too many times to count. But instead of giving up, she took everything as a challenge. And mind you, she loves challenges. Because for her, challenge is a win-win situation. You get what you want when you succeed, and you learn something when you fail.
She isn't called 'Thry' if she doesn't try. But for how long? How can she figure out if it's time to quit? What's the sign, the clue? She doesn't know; everything's strange to her.
The only certain thing for her is that for him, for the man that she loves, she'll do it all, done it all, and risk it all...
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
