Masaya at kontento naman si Althea Josefa Marinduque sa province life niya kung saan siya isinilang at lumaking best in English. Pero dahil namatay na ang kaisa-isa niyang kasama sa buhay na si Lolo Philip, kinailangan na niyang pumunta sa Maynila upang tanggapin ang trabahong inaalok ng kaibigan ng lolo niya--- para na rin daw maka-move on siya. Ngunit pagdating niya sa siyudad, iba ang nangyari sa inaasahan niya. Imbes na trabaho, mapapangasawa pala ang ibibigay sa kanya na apo ng isang multi-millionaire businessman--- si Elton Alexander Falcon. Dream come true ito para sa karamihan, pero hindi kay Althea. Dahil ang babaeng katulad niya ang kasumpa-sumpa para kay Elton.

Candid was never meant to be understood. She grew up hiding more than her face. Always hidden behind a mask and scarf, she became the kind of girl people feared without knowing why-quiet, cold, and dangerously unreadable. Some called her freak. Others called her broken. But no one noticed how carefully she played the role everyone expected from her. Because the weakest-looking people are often the hardest to destroy. While the world sees an isolated girl drowning in silence, Candid secretly lives between two extremes: saving lives with gentle hands while carrying something dark enough to ruin them all. Then Blaze Anthony enters her life-the ruthless and manipulative King of the ELITES. A boy made of wildfire and pride. The type of person who turns destruction into entertainment. He tried to solve her mystery, only to get trapped in it. What started as hatred slowly became obsession. Every argument felt dangerous. Every touch felt like a mistake. And somewhere between chaos and comfort, they became the very thing capable of destroying each other. But loving Candid was like holding onto a person made of shattered memories. There were nights she would stare at her own reflection as if meeting a stranger. Nights where certain scars felt older than the stories attached to them. And no matter how many times she tried to bury the past, something inside her kept whispering that she had already survived things her mind refused to remember. Some love stories heal people. Theirs only uncovered what should have stayed forgotten-and destined to destroy.
