Livxene Antonette Aldarde has lived a life carefully constructed by tradition and expectation. Married for eight years to her college sweetheart in an arranged union blessed by both families, her marriage appears enviably perfect-stable, respectable, untouched by scandal. She learned early how to be a good wife: composed, loyal, unquestioning.
That illusion fractures the night she discovers her husband is having an affair.
The betrayal ignites something sharp and unfamiliar in Livxene-not grief, but resolve. She refuses to be the woman who is quietly replaced. Determined to "fix" what was broken, she sets her sights on the other woman, believing that if the threat is removed, her marriage will return to what it once was.
But when she comes face to face with Madeline Gwyneth Quizon-the woman she believes is threatening her life's foundation-Livxene's certainty begins to crumble.
