His anger and jealousy threaten to shatter their newfound happiness. As Nap's feelings for Anne blossom into genuine love, he faces an impossible choice - to follow his heart and defy societal expectations or to abandon his love for her. Anne, torn between her desire for a genuine connection and the societal pressures of her marriage, must make a difficult decision about her future. In the face of opposition and societal constraints, Anne and Nap's love story unfolds, testing the limits of their resolve and pushing them both to the edge of their comfort zones.
