Aien Phoebe Armarillo - the prim and proper heiress, the only daughter of business magnate Marco Armarillo. Groomed to be perfect, she is the flawless achiever, the ideal daughter every parent dreams of. She vowed to obey, to marry the man chosen for her-Caelan Matthew Lim, the eldest son of another powerful family. For Aien, there was no room for mistakes, no space for rebellion. But when love turns into betrayal and the life she thought she wanted begins to crumble, she finds herself standing at a crossroad. Will she continue living the life expected of her, or will she risk everything-her family's honor, her parents' trust-for a forbidden love that makes her heart truly alive?
Miel Allister Lim - the youngest daughter of business tycoon Miguel Antonio Lim. A free spirit, a dreamer, a celebrated volleyball star of her generation. To the world, she is cheerful, vibrant, and unshakable. But behind her radiant smile is a heart aching to be seen, to be chosen-not only by her parents who never valued her worth, but by the one woman she has secretly loved since she was fifteen... Aien Phoebe Armarillo. For years, Miel watched from the sidelines, loving quietly, never daring to hope. But when fate gives her a chance-when Aien's world shatters-will she finally fight for the love she has long kept hidden? Will she finally be chosen, not as an afterthought, but as the one and only?
Two women. Two hearts bound by destiny yet torn apart by family, expectations, and betrayal. One, the perfect daughter who was always chosen. The other, the free spirit who was always overlooked. When their paths collide in the most unexpected way, they must face the greatest choice of all-between duty and desire, between obedience and happiness, between the life they were born into and the love that was meant to be.
A story of love that waited, love that endured, and love that dares to break free.
