In high society, image isn't just everything. It's survival.
Jayla Robles is the golden heir. Elegant, poised, and untouchable, she carries her family's name like a crown. Every move is calculated, every smile rehearsed, every scandal avoided. To the world, Jayla is perfection, an empire's flawless daughter.
Cyril Vergara is the opposite. The black sheep. Reckless and impossible to tame. Her sharp suits and sharper tongue make her stand out in rooms built for grace and diplomacy. Scandal clings to her like smoke, late-night brawls, whispered affairs, choices that make her family flinch. Cyril doesn't play by the rules of the elite. She breaks them.
They were once everything to each other back in college, until Cyril shattered Jayla's heart without warning. Now, years later, fate throws them back into the same world of power, family names, and endless expectations.
Jayla has worked too hard to keep her image spotless. Cyril doesn't care about images at all. She only cares about Jayla.
And when the golden heir crosses paths again with the black sheep, old wounds ignite into dangerous temptations.
It's forbidden. It's destructive.
But it's them.
