Luke, a former athlete with a magnetic charm, has always been a man of contradictions-loyal yet flawed, playful yet burdened by the weight of his past. His journey unfolds through the women who shaped his heart: Vernice, his fiery high school sweetheart; Jing, the quiet strength from his university years; and Helen, his most recent long-term love.  

As he navigates the tangled web of love and loss, Luke must confront the ghosts of his past while searching for answers about his future. At the heart of it all lies a mystery-a woman waiting for him in Greece, who may hold the key to his unfinished story.  

Will Luke untangle his emotions and find clarity, or will his journey come full circle in a way he never expected? This is a tale of romance, heartbreak, and the bittersweet beauty of life's unpredictability.All Rights Reserved
