Triton Emmanuel Soledad de Merced has lived almost his entire life by pretending to be someone he's not. Always shadowed by his cousin and brother, Triton wanted to set himself apart by hiding all his darkness and ugly truths in life, wearing a picture-perfect smile; it wasn't so hard to deceive everyone, including himself. Bianca Beatriz Gomez, with the great desire to escape her reality and the slum where she was raised, built her life with lies and deceit. When their paths crossed and their lives intertwined, suddenly they became a wildfire that burned down all their fences and tore down each other's walls. But there is always a price to pay for every deceit, and a consequence for every mistake... and they did. From liars to lovers to strangers- exiled from the home they once built. The twin flame that once wove their love together became the flame that devoured them until they were nothing but regrets and mistakes of the past that they could never change.

Kio Soledad de Merced always kept his life quiet and private. He never wanted anything flashy and grand. Attention and spotlight were the two things he never wanted to have. Calm and easy, that's how he preferred his life. Shiloh Lumiere Bendia's life was far from what he wanted, she was born for the spotlight. Living under the scrutinizing eyes of the world, Lumiere's life consists of cameras and flashes following her whenever she moves. The world gravitates around her, and everyone who sees her is drawn to her light, including him. The moment he saw her on that stage with the spotlight shining on her, he knew he would spend his whole life admiring her from afar. But with the twist of fate and a little luck, his fate might have changed. A secret moment. A lingering stare. Quick stolen moments behind the camera that no one knows about. But to what extent can they sacrifice for a losing battle they knew they would never win? To love is to risk. To risk requires courage and courage is only found in places we're too scared to take. ---- Date Started: March 2025 Date Finished: June 15, 2025
