There was once this girl named Ann. Ann is a law student, 19 years of age and considered as the "queen bee" in their campus. She is that typical girl everyone would love. Attractive, nice, kind, thoughtful, smart, and yes, she's wealthy too. Almost everyone thinks that she has that so called "perfect" life to live. Her mom died 8 years ago because of unknown thieves who forced to enter there house and killed her mom because she fought back while those thieves tried to steal a lot of things. She grew up only with her Dad, who is always busy on running their family business. Her dad would always go out of town to attend meetings, and other business stuffs. Because of this, Ann used to stay alone at home just together with their maids, guards, gardeners, and other household helpers.

One day, Ann asked permission from her Dad if she can go to a friend's house to do an unfinished group research. Her dad let her to do so, she went and started making the said schoolwork with her classmates. After a while, Ann's Dad called her and told her to go home immediately. Of course, Ann tried to please her Dad if she can go home some other time because she's still doing something. Yet, her Dad became mad and told her to go home at that moment. Ann can't do anything but follow her Dad's command. When she got home, she saw a person that she used to miss: her aunt Belle. Aunt Belle had been her close friend since she was a child, they used to hang out together with Ann's Mom. Ann felt excitement and at the same time, she's wondering why her aunt's there. Way back then, Ann's Mom tells stories to Aunt Belle like she's her human diary.

Little did Ann knows, her aunt wants something from the past. Aunt Belle lives in a province far from the city. Eventhough, distance doesn't became a barrier for her to get what she needs. Upon cleaning their house in the province, Aunt Belle saw the diary of Ann's Mom. A diary that already looks old with dirt-like and torn pages and a bookmark. As Aunt Belle opened the page where the bookmark is placed, she saw how Ann's Mom told a story on how her partner uncontrollably hurts her physically whenever he is mad or jealous. She turned the diary to the next page and a horrible thing surprised her. She saw stains of blood and and an unfinished note, "All I ever did was love him yet he's slowly killing m-." As Aunt Belle reminisces about all the things she have read on the diary, Ann started to talk to Aunt Belle and later on, they end up looking on old photos of them with Ann's Mom together. Out of no where, they saw several tapes together with the photo albums. They played one and their favorite song played. They played another because they thought it is just a simple playlist of the songs they love. They are about to play the third one but then instead of hearing a relaxing song, they heard screams, undesirable noise caused by torture or pain and suffering that Ann's mom had experienced.

That clip revealed the truth that all the rumors about Ann's mom were all lies. As a law student, Ann wants to avenge the death of her mother through justice. Ann called the police but as they came to the house, they found out that her dad had already escaped there. When Ann went back to Cebu for their meeting, she found out that her dad is also there. She called her Aunt Belle so she can go to Cebu and be with her as she finds where her dad is. They roamed around until they came into a barangay. And there, they saw a mysterious house which caught their attention. They entered the house and were shocked with what they saw. Arms, legs, internal organs, and other human body parts were in there placed in jars and displayed like a collection. Until the owner of the house came. It was Ann's dad.

Though the two of them were in shock, Aunt Belle went in front of Ann's father and confronted him.Instead of clearing his mind, he became out of control. He grabbed a knife and stabbed Aunt Belle. He stabbed her multiple times until she dies. Ann, while looking at her dad, can't believe what's happening right now. Though she want to fight for her aunt, she can't because it's her dad. As Ann's dad had finished killing Aunt Belle, he saw Ann he felt dizzy. He also stabbed her multiple times. He even chopped her daughter into pieces. With legs and arms separated from her body Until the knife hit a strong thing which made a horrible sound. In curiosity, he looked what that thing is. He saw a ring. A ring that's very special to him and to her daughter. He gave this ring to Ann on her debut. With that, he remembered all those special memories of them together. He, then, realized that he is already killing her own daughter. He came back into his right condition. He sobbed and yelled. And when he realized that because of his actions, his daughter and Aunt Belle died, he hung himself in his house of collections.
