Then the war broke out and plunged the whole nation into chaos, darkness, and uncertainty. Evelyn's life changed dramatically. All the hopes of building a family and growing old with the love of her life were shattered along with the deafening sound of the Japanese bombs and cannons as they marched forward for invasion. Renato Cruz the love of her life, enlisted as a foot soldier as many young men of his age did while Evelyn and his family temporarily moved out to America for refuge. Away from each other's safe haven, Eve and Rene consoled each other's longing by exchanging letters. One day the letters stopped coming.

Ignacio de Dios, a charismatic young man, and heir to the wealthiest family in Manila.

The two eventually got married but after so many years a ghost of Renato Cruz reappeared. He had lived and survived the war. When she found out her world was yet again shaken by forces she cannot control.
