“It's only you that I want, Maximus. At nasabi ko na rin sa pamilya ko na mahal kita at gusto kitang pakasalan. Wala akong ibang pipiliin.” Umiiling si Max mula sa mga narinig. “No. No. You’re not being fair, Aurora.” Nawawalan na siya ng lakas kasabay ng pag-asa na mapabago ang isip nito. Max leaned his body at the back of the single chair. Halos nakaupo na siya don. He tugged on his necktie, needing some more air. Napatingin siya sa sahig. He's powerless against his dad. Hindi niya ma poprotektahan ang girlfriend mula sa pamilya niya. Hindi niya namalayang humakbang si Aurora palapit. Naramdaman nalang niya ang kamay nitong hinahaplos ang kanyang pisngi. He turned to her face. “You’re not fair.” He mumbled weakly. Parang batang nanlulumo na sumusuko na sa laban. She’s rubbing her thumb to his cheeks. “The world’s not fair, Max.” Shaking her head also. “It’s never fair.” Malumanay niyang sagot. “You get everything you want.” Hindi niya pinansin ang ginagawa nito. Namamanhid na siya para makaramdam pa. This girl is too much of everything. Too selfish to even understand how he felt. “No. I don’t have your heart.” Max swatted her hand away and stood up straight. He chuckled at her response and halted. Umiiling siyang tumingin ng diretso sa mga mata nito. “You won’t. You don’t even have one.” ----------------------- Aurora Fontalva got everything except the heart of a certain man. She only wants Max.

Worse, Aurora even blackmailed him, or his girlfriend would suffer. Why would he fall for someone who doesn’t even care about his feelings? Only his girlfriend does. Is there really a thin line between love and hate? What if the thread breaks?

Dr. Alesandrie Reiyu never thought that saving a man who got shot in the middle of the street would cost him his life. No. Andrie wasn’t dead. But he might as well be for getting Samantha Aguerrie’s attention. Samantha Aguerrie saw the perfect leverage to balance the law and her family in her hands. She hadn’t seen the biggest irony of her life until she learned about Dr. Reiyu, the man who interrupted her work.
