Tumili silang lahat nang sabay sabay naming nakita sa bulletin board ang pangalan ko. Samantalang unti-unti namang napawo ang ngiti ko habang tinitingnan ang listahan ng mga may pinakamalaking QPI. I was sure I did so well. It isn't a question if I made the list or not because I know I will always make it. Kaya nga nakangiti na ako kanina pa dahil siguradong sigurado ako. Kaso ngayon...nawalan na nang tuluyan ang ngiti ko. Because I know that I do not hold the top spot of the dean's list, and to me...this is the worst.

Long before the flood of sorrows, regrets, and gut-wrenching heartaches, a smile was once her comfort-warm welcoming facade to anyone whom it may gaze. Although, it didn't last when her parents died, and that didn't go through well for her-it was maddening. As Narissa Millagracia felt her life crumbles, so does her heart. With the thought of nothing left to go home to, no warm embrace to look forward when going home from a draining day in school-it's just nothing but a house with furnitures-field with memories. It was during the last year of college did she meet someone that ended the suffering, replaced by an endless sea of hope. Bringing back the spark within her. Iñigo Reoj Zuñiga willingly shared her burdens-the man who oath to make her the happiest woman on earth-carrying the weight on his back when she couldn't bear any of world's cruelty and unfairness in life. He was there by her side, celebrated her joys and helped guide her through her darkest moments. Alas, their love would have last if it wasn't for the secrets unveiling on its own. Narissa learned that loving someone comes with a price... And that was her precious heart. In her mind, no matter how hard it is to face reality-how difficult life was to her-she cherished every memories as if it were a souvenirs to keep.

Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, she has always found solace and success in her academic pursuits.

Her meticulously planned life takes an unexpected turn when she meets a charismatic law student -James Elijah Zuñiga. He bursts into her world like a ray of sunshine, infusing her disciplined routine with spontaneity and joy. As their connection deepens, she finds herself drawn to the emotional depth and vibrancy that he brings, forcing her to confront the limitations of her purely intellectual approach to life. However, their burgeoning relationship is tested when unspoken expectations and emotional vulnerabilities surface, threatening to unravel the carefully constructed world she has always known. Will she learn that sometimes, words left unsaid can be more damaging than any action, or will her inability to express her true feelings ultimately cost her the bright and lively connection she found?
