It is written with an intention to immortalize someone. Someone that burns between being known and unknown. May your heart remain kind but never kind enough to forgive me. May the rally of your pain and frustration etch a landmark in my reverie.

For years, Hope Eloise Sullivan has lived in a house that was never truly hers. Inside the Zalduana mansion, she learned how to survive by staying out of the way-quiet, careful, and never asking for more than what she was already given. Under the same roof as one of the most powerful families in the country, she grew up close enough to be controlled, but never close enough to be claimed. At the hospital, things are different. There, she is Dr. Sullivan-sharp, capable, and impossible to ignore. But then the Levistes step into the picture. And with them comes Zantasia Cazhielle Leviste. the Leviste's heir-a woman known long before she is understood. Brilliant, composed, and far too dangerous to someone like Hope, who has spent her whole life learning how to stay within the lines. But some people do not have to touch your life to change it. Sometimes, all they have to do is see you. And when being seen starts to cost more than silence, would you still choose to be kept within limits? Disclaimer: this story is written in Taglish

Every time Z passes by their department, her eyes find Addie. And every time she does, she falls a little deeper- again and again. But when love collides with fame, noise, and the weight of the crowd, will their hearts still recognize each other beneath the chaos?

Si Clara Montgomery ay sanay sa buhay na tahimik, maayos, at laging sumusunod sa rules. Perfect lady-in-waiting ang peg niya para sa future na pinaghihirapan niya. Pero ang future na 'yun, nakadepende sa trabaho ng mommy niya bilang Head Maid sa dambuhalang coastal estate ng mga Vale. Ngayong summer, imbes na libro ang hawak ni Clara, basahan muna ang dala niya para tulungan ang mom niya sa mansion. Akala niya magiging boring at routine lang ang lahat-hanggang sa pinauwi ng pamilya Vale ang pinakamalaking sakit sa ulo nila. Enter Seraphina Vale, ang reigning queen of chaos. Isang rich brat na laging laman ng headlines, at kombinasyon ng dark feminine allure at pagiging spoiled. Ang parusa sa kanya dahil sa latest scandal niya ay "exile": tatlong buwan siyang kailangang tumira sa ilalim ng strict na rules ng lolo at lola niya hanggang sa magtanda siya. Si Clara yung tipo ng tao na dapat i-ignore ni Seraphina, at si Seraphina naman ang rason kung bakit dapat lang umiwas si Clara. Pero dahil sa forced proximity nila sa loob ng suffocating na mansion, magbabanggaan ang mundo nila. Habang tumatagal ang mga gabi at humahalimuyak ang amoy ng dagat, yung asaran nila, unti-unting nagiging something serious. Si Seraphina na sanay na laging nasa kanya ang control, biglang nawawalan ng kontrol sa babaeng nagse-serve sa pamilya niya. At si Clara na laging "proper," makaka-feel ng kakaibang tapang sa harap ng babaeng bawal niyang mahalin. Sa summer na puno ng secrets at stolen moments, sapat kaya ang forbidden desire nila para labanan ang social divide-o maglalaho lang ang summer romance nila kapag natapos na ang bakasyon?
