Heartache, betrayal, trauma, anxiety, and depression reshaped her. They didn't just change her-they hardened her. The warmth she once had faded, replaced by an icy indifference. She was no longer the girl she used to be; even her closest friends barely recognized her.
She is Dr. Dulcinea Arabelle Lacoursiere-the woman with a heart of stone, a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Ateneo de Manila University.
Will there ever be a man who will truly cherish her?
Or is she destined to be nothing more than a fleeting moment of happiness once again?
