C1 PROLOGUE

Crystal Snow Lopez wants to be an independent woman. She knows how to take care of herself. She knows how to value herself and she knows her worth as a woman.

Kaya simula ng humantong siya sa hustong gulang ay pinangarap na niyang mamuhay mag-isa, kahit na alam niya sa sarili na kaya siyang buhayin ng Daddy niya.

She wants to explore the world. She wants to have a peaceful life, away from her toxic ex-boyfriend and her so-called-friends in the city.

Gusto niyang malaman kung hanggang saan ang kaya niyang gawin kung mag-isa siyang mamuhay.

Gusto niyang malaman kung hanggang saan siya dadalhin ng pangarap na gusto niya.

She wants to know what the world would do to her living alone.

Kaya naman sa ayaw at sa gusto ng Daddy at kuya niya na mamuhay mag-isa ay walang nagawa ang mga ito.

Pero paano kung ang tinatawag niyang 'peaceful live' ay nauwi sa isang rollercoaster ride?

What will she do if a man named Sebastian Herrera enters her life?

Anong gagawin niya kung may taong sunod ng sunod at makulit sa buhay niya?

What will she do?

Bakit siya?

He keeps bothering her. He's playful, naughty and annoying. But at the same time, he keeps making her nervous, smile and at the same time secure.

He's annoying, but why does she feel comfort when he annoys her?

He's playful, but why does she feel at ease when he does that?

He's naughty, but why does she like him being like that?

He keeps irritating her, but why does she feel bad when he's not doing that?

She hates everybody calling her by her first name Crystal, but why does she like it when he calls her Crystal?

The way he moves, walks, talks, smiles, laughs and even his dimples. The warmth of his hands, the way his dark brown eyes look at her like she's the most beautiful girl in his eyes, his soft kissable lips and that jawline of him that she finds very attractive.

Yes, he's annoying but he does not let anything bad happen to her.

He can make her feel she's safe when she's with him. It feels like he would do anything to make her feel good and safe.

Magulo ang isip at puso ni Snow. Hindi niya alam ang gagawin dahil mukhang wala siyang takas kay Basty kahit anong gawin niyang pagtataboy niya rito at ayaw niyang nangyari iyun.

Ayaw niyang tuluyang mapasok sa sistema niya si Basty at masanay siyang laging itong nakasunod at nangungulit sa kanya. Ayaw niyang masanay dahil ayaw niyang masaktan lang siya ulit kagaya ng ginawa ng ex niya. At ayaw niyang mangyari ulit iyun sa kanya.

She has to protect her heart from Basty.

At hindi niya alam kung anong totoong matibo nito sa kanya.

May gusto ba ito sa kanya o sadyang trip lang siya nitong asarin?

Ayaw niyang mag-expect at mag-assume dahil takot na siyang malaman ang totoo dahil baka umasa at masaktan lang siya sa huli.
