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

"What the fuck is your problem, Estella?!" I yelled loudly at Estella while carrying Dalha towards my parked car not far away. The rain was strong, and a storm was imminent. 


"You pushed her!" We all shouted in anger, Elliott, and Erina. We were all furious upon seeing what Estella did. She had the audacity to lie even though all four of us witnessed her actions. 


"Fuck!" I shouted loudly before handing Dalha to Elliott. "Take her to the hospital, now!" 


Though flustered, Elliott promptly followed my command. I didn't look back until they were all in the van. I quickly immersed myself in the rushing water. Slowly, apprehension crept in about what would happen next. 


"What are you looking for?" Estella asked loudly as I surfaced briefly to catch my breath. "You're just wasting time! Can we just go home? I'm getting cold, Cace!"
