Dalha Mae has always dreamt of completing her education to break free from the clutches of her manipulative aunt. Her dream is within reach until college student Elliot Sarmiento sets his sights on her. Elliot's undeniable attraction to Dalha complicates her plans. Being wealthy, Elliot can potentially pave an easier path towards her aspirations. However, their budding connection faces obstacles, chiefly from Cace Sarmiento, Dalha's English Teacher and Elliot's older sibling. Despite having no concern for their relationship, the encounters among the trio leave Dalha conflicted. Two things trouble her mind each time they cross paths. Is Cace obstructing the bond between her and Elliot out of disapproval, or does he harbor feelings for Dalha? Confusion reigns in her thoughts. Yet, one thing remains certain to Dalha—the deep, passionate kiss shared with Cace, hinting at unspoken truths that demand her attention.

Love is All That Matters

Wish? I already know what I want. Do I still need to make a wish? 


"Hey..." Sir Cace called for my attention. His eyebrows slightly raised. "Don't you have a wish?" 


I paused for a moment. What else could I ask for? "Well, my wish is to finish my studies." 


"To find a job after finishing my studies?" I said with a smile, noticing Sir Cace's frown. 


"Dal, I already know about those things. Just wish for anything, and I'll grant it," he said seriously, causing my eyebrows to raise. 


I smiled gently before shaking my head. "That's really all I wish for." 


Sir Cace didn't do anything when I blew out the candles. He just smiled at me before helping me remove them from the cupcakes. 


He quickly handed me a cupcake. I thanked him and took a bite. 


"Happy birthday, Dalha." I couldn't help but smile when Sir Cace said that. It felt like I wanted to cry, but I held back.
