“You’ll never know how beautiful something could turn out to be if you don’t take a chance. I will never ever hurt you. I don’t have the strength to even think of that.”

Monica’s life was far different from a fairy tale. Buong buhay niya ay puno ng pasakit at paghihirap. Hindi na rin siya marunong magtiwala, lalo na sa mga lalaki. Why? Because she had been a victim of physical abuse by her stepfather and even her ex-boyfriend. She had been so unlucky all her life—at iyon ang dahilan kung bakit naging napakahina niya, kung bakit hindi niya nagawang tumayo sa sariling mga paa.
Pero nasangkot si Monica sa isang insidente na kinailangan niya ang tulong ni Troy Aguirre, isang police officer na minsan niyang nakilala. Tinulungan siya ng lalaki na magbagong-buhay. He had been her strength in hard times.
Sa pagdaan ng mga araw, unti-unting nahulog ang loob niya kay Troy. Gusto rin naman niya ng masayang buhay. She wanted to have her own happy ending. Pero natatakot siya. Paano kung saktan din siya nito, hindi man sa pisikal pero sa emosyonal naman? Troy Aguirre was a heartbreaker, a womanizer. She didn’t want to risk herself and get hurt again. The wounds of the past were more than enough. Napakarami na nga niyang sugat sa katawan, gusto pa ba niyang matulad ang kanyang puso?
