Shei Yliana, a spoiled princess of Rome, jets to the Philippines for a whirlwind of fun. But amidst the vibrant chaos of Manila, she encounters Zach Imannuel, a street vendor selling balut, a delicacy she finds both intriguing and repulsive. His rugged handsomeness and icy gaze ignite a fire within her, a fire that quickly blossoms into a relentless obsession. Zach, however, remains unmoved, his heart shielded by a wall of indifference.
Determined to win his affections, Shei embarks on a whirlwind chase, showering him with lavish gifts and promises of a life beyond his wildest dreams. But Zach, haunted by a past shrouded in secrets, refuses to be bought. Their love, a game of cat and mouse, becomes a dangerous dance between desire and defiance.
Finally, Zach's defenses crumble. He falls for Shei, surrendering his heart and his life to hers. But just when he's willing to give up everything for her, Shei disappears, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions and a heart shattered into a million pieces. Their love, once unrequited, becomes a bittersweet memory, a love story that burns bright but fades too soon, leaving behind a legacy of unforgettable sorrow. What secrets lie behind Shei's sudden departure? Was it a fear of commitment, a hidden past, or something else entirely? The answer remains a mystery, haunting Zach long after she's gone.
