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

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sarmiento," one of the school directors said as he spoke to me. 


They revoked my license. For what reason? Someone saw Dalha and me kissing in the locker room. I don't believe it was accidental that someone saw us. I strongly suspect it was Leticia's doing. Nevertheless, there's nothing I can do. I know I was still wrong. I let my emotions drive me, causing all of this. I am the reason why even Dalha will lose the opportunity to reach her dreams. Dreams that I know are important to her. 


"Sir..." I said softly, causing everyone to look at me. I let out a heavy sigh before slowly kneeling in front of them. "I will accept your judgment. But..." 


"Please, let Dalha finish her studies here," I said seriously, surprising the others. "Please, I'm begging you."
