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 crying endlessly like a fool. I feel the pain in Elliott's writings. If only I knew he felt this way, I would have stayed away from both him and Cace long ago. None of this would have happened. Nothing would have been lost. 


I tried to wipe away my tears. I quickly opened the diary again. I flipped the page, but there was nothing more. 


I weakly sat on the chair by the side, staring into nothingness. I must have been in that position for a few minutes. I was snapped back to reality when the diary I dropped made a loud noise. 


I slowly turned to look at it. Following that, my mouth opened automatically. The back part of the diary was filled with numerous entries. 


I'll just stay silent. I love Dalha. If she's happy with Cace, so be it. 


Damn you, Elliott. Why are you like this? 


Mom wants me to go with Dad to the US. I know what she wants to happen. She wants me to take everything from Cace.
