Once there was a guy named Rome and a girl named France, and yes! This is a story of Romance which seems to be a very very cliche beginning, but every story has it's own twist and turns, right? Let's see how far they can handle each other's lives.
Meet Maria France Salvador, a twenty-five year old intelligent lady who has it all-- she's got the looks, a perfect-model body, the money, the loving family, successful business, great friends and a very handsome stalker--wait...what? A stalker?
Rome Ezra Torres, a happy-go-lucky guy who proclaims to be France's handsome stalker--No! An admirer rather. He's 27 and filthy rich--he's every girl's dream and every guy's enemy. In the eyes of everyone he's perfect but in her eyes, he's nothing but a creepy stalker who's ready to kill someone whoever touches her. But for him, she was his everything. She was all he ever wanted.
Thus, for an intelligent lady, she knew that something's not right.
