When love blossoms unexpectedly between a teacher and student, it is utterly passionate but also dangerous. Spying eyes linger even inside the most deserted hallways, waiting hungrily for a drop of fiery gossip. Gossip which can spell ruin for James’s famed career and for Lia’s chances at her dream university. Heartbreak follows more heartbreak when the two are separated for years through a spider web of misunderstandings and lies, only to be reunited again when fatefully James is Lia’s boss at work. The burning passion which was hidden away for years sparked again, and this time neither of them wanted to hold it in.

Burning Passion : Breaking All Rules

The crowd slowly dissipates as the party dies down and people start leaving. Liya is busy sending off guests as her friends, Mae and Ashton help clear the area.


"So… Next week?" asks Mae, clearing the bar.


"Yes, apparently," replies Ashton, not looking at her.


"We didn't quite know about it until your father announced it today."


"No… That's what I'm also wondering. He wouldn't have decided on it without consulting me."


"I think it's dad's doing. He's really unpredictable and probably would've just decided and told your father last minute."


"Maybe. Liya and I have to talk to them."


"Are you not ok with having it next week?"


Ashton thinks for a while. "I don't know. Maybe I will be ok with it."


"Ashton, are you still not feeling it?"


"I really don't know, Mae," sighs Ashton, "I feel so dissociated. It feels like I'm spectating everything from a third person's view. I feel very disconnected from reality."
