The Love That Betrayed Me

Alicia Leal Santos was once full of life.. cheerful, beautiful, and kind, with her signature long hair that perfectly reflected her joyful personality. But after discovering that her lover, Rina Teresa Dela Cruz, had been cheating on her for over a month, Alicia's world crumbled. Their breakup left her devastated, unable to move on for months, her once radiant spirit dimmed.

In an effort to heal, Alicia moves abroad for a year with her best friend Iris, who had always been there for her. Their time away in another country helped Alicia rebuild herself.. though it wasn't the same Alicia that returned. She cut her hair short, and her bubbly personality was replaced by a cold, distant demeanor. Alicia was no longer the friendly girl she once was. She had become fiercely independent, unbothered by others, and driven by one goal.... revenge.

Upon returning to the Philippines, Alicia and Iris start a fake relationship, something both agree on to protect themselves from past wounds. But as Alicia crosses paths with Rina again, who is desperate to make things right, Alicia's newfound independence and cold attitude create tension. Rina wants forgiveness, but Alicia wants revenge.

However, as their fake relationship with Iris begins to blur the lines between real and pretend, Alicia finds herself caught in the middle. Will she ever truly forgive Rina? Or will her heart betray her once again, this time reigniting the flame of love for Rina, the very person who once broke her heart?
