Jeanne Asuncion was six years old when she met her ultimate crush Phoebus Acosta, she was half his age but it didn't stop her. She even wrote him a letter confessing her feelings for him, but Pheobus rejected her and even called her a 'kid'. Well, that's in fact true that she was still a kid, but Je's immature mind back then can't process it, so she believed that it was her very first heartbreak and swore that she would never have a crush on anyone ever again. Eleven years later, they've crossed paths in a most unexpected way- -Pheobus Acosta was now her Professor in her most hated subject, Finance.

Everyone says Apollo "Uno" Acosta is dangerous. He's illegitimate, a boxer, and he's covered in tattoos. Men like him aren't supposed to be kind. At least, that's what Solana de Jesus was raised to believe. So when she ends up working under him, she does what she's always done-keeps her distance, lowers her eyes, and reminds herself that men like him are the kind you should never trust. But the problem with assumptions is they start breaking the moment you pay attention. The more she sees, the more the rumors stop making sense. And the more she realizes something terrifying that maybe Apollo Acosta was never the villain. Maybe he was just misunderstood. And maybe the real danger is how fast she's starting to fall for him.

Helios Lorenzo Alameda Acosta was born into power. Esperanza Diaz Ocampo was born into survival. He is the heir to industries. She is the girl who works two jobs to keep her and her brother alive. Their worlds were never meant to touch. But Helios notices things others miss. And Esperanza is the only person who has ever looked at him without wanting anything. He wants her. She refuses him. Because she knows the truth about men like him- they don't fall in love. They choose. And girls like her? They don't get chosen. They get broken.
