Emma had been Michael's secret lover for five years. Despite her obedience and compliance during that time, she couldn't make him take her seriously. When Michael got engaged, he abandoned her. Adding to the turmoil, her doctor informed her that she had late-stage heart failure with only three months left to live. Although she wished to quietly live out the remaining days of her life, it became difficult due to four people's entanglement, including Michael's fiancée, Ashton who desired her, Mr. X who protected her, and her ex-boyfriend.

Your name is Selina, and your heart belongs to Kevin—a kind, unassuming man who’s been your quiet refuge from family pressure.

It’s a war between what I feel and what I know can never be.
