Silim Series #4
Mikayla Ralina Santillan has always been the family's black sheep, too loud, too stubborn, too visible in places her last name was never meant to be seen. By night, she works in a bar as a dancer, surviving on stares she learned to turn into currency, and a dream she never outgrew: to marry rich, escape poverty, and never look back. So when Kyle Aloncio Carlos walks into her life, cold-eyed, untouchable, and clearly far from ordinary, Mira decides, without hesitation, that he is her ticket out.
Kyle, however, is far from impressed. If anything, Mira's boldness only irritates him more... her open pursuit, her sharp tongue, the way she looks at him like a calculated opportunity instead of a person. But fate has a strange sense of humor. One wrong decision, one unexpected arrangement, and suddenly Mira finds herself working under him as his personal assistant, stepping into a world she was never meant to enter... and he has no intention of letting her walk away so easily.
Yet behind Kyle's controlled silence are cracks no one is allowed to see, old promises that no longer feel safe, and a ring that somehow weighs heavier than it should. And as Mira starts getting closer to the life she's always wanted, she realizes Kyle is not just pulling her upward... but dragging her into something neither of them can escape, especially when the truth lurking in the shadows is already waiting for the perfect moment to break them both.
