MIKHAIAH AU
Power has its price.
Love has its consequences.
And the law written or not always demands obedience.
Calix Arceneaux Rivera grew up in a world ruled by order, politics, and reputation. As the son of a powerful senator, he was taught to never make mistakes especially the kind that could make headlines. Every move, every word, every smile is calculated... until he meets Astrid Elaine Velasco.
Astrid is everything Calix shouldn't be seen with: bold, unpredictable, and dangerously unafraid to challenge authority. What begins as a secret alliance slowly turns into something deeper something neither of them can afford to feel.
But in a city where corruption hides behind polished speeches and loyalty can be bought with power, their connection becomes a silent rebellion. The deeper they fall, the more the world around them starts to burn.
In the end, Calix and Astrid will learn that some laws were never written to protect them they were written to control them. And breaking them might be the only way to survive.
