Alina Celestille Raquel Lopez has lived a life shaped by grace, duty, and legacy. A gallery curator and quiet idealist, she believes in love as art-messy, raw, and real. But when her family's reputation is placed at risk, she's bound by an age-old promise: marry the heir of a long-time allied family. Cassius Damien Sorez Alvarez is an architect of precision and silence. Cold, composed, and impossible to read, he agrees to the marriage out of obligation, not affection. He has no interest in love-but fate, and the quiet woman he's bound to, have other plans. Thrown together by duty but shaped by years of emotional distance and hidden longing, Alina and Cassius must learn how to build a life that doesn't just look perfect-but feels like home. And in the stillness between them, something tender begins to bloom. Because sometimes, love isn't loud. Sometimes, it's written in the quietest designs of fate.
