Evelyn's relationship with Santiago, the scion of the prestigious Flores family, seemed to be on a steady path. Their meeting, arranged by Santiago's mother, a regular client and admirer of Evelyn's designs, led to a growing familiarity and eventual romance. Evelyn, believing in their connection, gifted Santiago a pair of unique cufflinks, a symbol of their bond.

However, all comes crashing down when Serenity, Santiago's childhood friend and adopted sister, returns. At a birthday party, Santiago shocks Evelyn by kneeling down to propose - not to her, but to Serenity. The diamond ring he places on Serenity's finger is identical to the one on Evelyn's middle finger, a cruel twist of fate.

Santiago tries to brush it off as a simple birthday wish fulfillment, claiming he and Evelyn are just having a fling and that he will ultimately marry her. But Evelyn's heart is shattered. Serenity, feigning innocence and pity, only adds fuel to the fire. The onlookers, including Santiago's friends, instead of condemning his actions, urge Evelyn to be understanding and magnanimous.

This incident forces Evelyn to reevaluate her relationship with Santiago. She realizes that perhaps she never truly knew him and that his feelings for her might not have been as deep as she thought. As she recalls the past, including the details of Serenity's history with the Flores family as told by Santiago's mother - how Serenity was adopted and later sent abroad after an inappropriate incident with Santiago - she begins to understand the complexity of the situation.

Evelyn's decision to break off the engagement and walk away from Santiago is a bold one. She is no longer willing to be the understanding girlfriend who tolerates such blatant disrespect. The slap she delivers to Santiago in front of everyone marks a turning point in her life.

Now, Evelyn is back to being single, but she is not defeated. She embarks on a journey of self-discovery, leaving behind the trappings of a relationship that was built on false pretenses.  Will Evelyn find a way to heal and move on? Or will the ghosts of her past with Santiago and Serenity continue to haunt her? "Back to Single" promises to be a captivating story of love, betrayal, and the strength to start anew.
