It's not that she doesn't love them but she is sick with their over possessive nature and when she tries to fight back, they think that she is suffering from her rebellious era.
Days passed by and Joana has completed her graduation. At her graduation ceremony, she met with sir Nichols, a professor from Germany. Sir Nichols invited Joana to work in his company. She thought that this is her chance to escape from that golden cage and live a life of her own. Peter, Joana's boyfriend, told her that if she thinks of getting away from him, he'll kill himself. Heartbroken Joana leaves this opportunity and starts working in Peter's company as an employee. Peter, a so-called perfect boyfriend, is actually a lecherous.The fact that he didn't let her leave because he doesn't want to let her go before tasting her, so he created that chaos, so Joana denied that invitation and stayed here.
At a team dinner party, Peter put drugs in Joana's drink. When she started to get tipsy he lied to everyone and took her to a motel where he tried to rape her. Joana half consciously tried to fight back and resist this shameless act. But he tries his best to dominate her each time. In the end when nobody listens to her voice she sees a glass bottle on the side table and smashes it in his head.
Peter lost consciousness and fell on the floor. Joana wears her clothes and starts running out of the room. "THAAMP" She bumped into someone and fainted on the floor. Mr. Paul, a colleague who works in the same department as Joana, picks her up and takes her to a room. He saw numbers of Hickeys in her body and her clothes were torn as well. He thought of calling the police but stopped finding her in an unconscious state. He calls for room service and gets her changed into a normal dress.
That night was horrible for Joana, she never even in her dream thought that a boyfriend whom she loved so much would do something like that to her. Paul saw her crying in her dreams and asking to leave her, not to touch her, she is not ready for this. Paul feels sympathetic toward her, he wipes her tears and holds her hands to console her. Somehow that night is passing slowly as both of them are holding each other tightly.

"WHAT THE HECK HAVE YOU DONE WITH ME? " Confused Paul ignores her and goes to the kitchen, starting to make breakfast for himself.

"DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT DID I DO TO YOU LAST NIGHT? " his hand goes towards her dress, on which Joana turns her face in fear. Paul stops. He remembers he is not an animal, he knows how to respect a woman. He picked up his wallet and started to go out but halted for a moment and said, "Nothing happened last night, a lady from room service came and changed your clothes. " Joana took a sigh of relief and deep down she is thanking Paul but regretting that she slaps him for nothing. Joana picks up her bag and leaves the room. She straightly goes to Peter's office, after seeing her in his office, peter changes his colour and takes her to his personal office room. Peter said , " Dear, everything that happened last night was a mistake due to alcohol. won't you give your baby a last chance to make up for it. " Joana smiles in disgust. "Don't you feel ashamed to call yourself a human being? Joana questioned him. On which Peter becomes extremely furious and he said " WHO ARE YOU TO QUESTION ME? I'LL FINISH WHAT WAS LEFT LAST NIGHT. " he walks towards joana and tries to touch her but this time Joana was stronger than before, she gives a tight slap to Peter and blood starts to flow from his mouth. Joana handed him her resignation and told him that if he comes after her then she'll tell the world how he was beaten up by a mere woman. Peter grits his teeth but now he can't do anything to Joana due to his male ego.

Paul was regretting his behavior towards Joana, he went to apologize to her but instead he got to know that she had already left the company. Paul was thinking that Joana must have left the company because of the things that happened between them. He really wanted to apologize to her but he doesn't know where she is now so he let nature take its course.
Joana on the other hand is busy doing her part time jobs and saving up money to start her own business. Days and months passed by and after 6 months Joana saved enough money for herself. She goes to her parents and tells them that she wanted to start her own cafe shop. Her parents refused at first thinking that she is not capable enough to handle the burden and also it's not easy for any start up to flourish so soon. Joana knows her parents want better for her but she does not want to live in captivity anymore. Somehow she managed to convince her parents and rent an office in a lively street where most people come and go. Joana cafe shop is neither too small nor too big. It was clean and sophisticated and could attract people to come inside.Thus, Joana now knows where she needs to stand and she was focusing on that.
One day, Paul accidentally came into Joana's cafe shop and was surprised to see her, Joana was not happy to see him. He went to her and greeted her but before he could say anything, Joana stopped him by saying, "It is my work place if you want to bring up the past, so you better leave. I don't want any sort of trouble in my cafe. " Paul was quite unhappy with her behaviour so he just apologized to her and left from there.
Joana was thinking if she had crossed the limit and overreacted. After all, he was a customer of her shop. They both are fighting with an unknown conflict without knowing the cause of it. In Paul's eyes he didn't do anything wrong to her as she was the one who slapped him. But from Joana's side, it's not Paul with whom she is angry with, actually Paul reminded her of the incidents that Peter did to her that night. If she didn't react fast that night, she would have lost her chastity and would live in life long trauma, that was the reason that she doesn't want to see him. But in reality neither of them was at fault. It was timing that is not in the favor of them. Days passed by and both of them started to get busy in their own life. Joana also started to heal from inside and her business also started to flourish day by day but she has still a long way ahead of her. She met with a girl named Kaira and both of them became friends.
