Serene Viviene Quintana has always believed that love is nothing but a distraction. She's spent her whole life dreaming of one thing-to escape her small hometown, become a star, and finally give her and her mom the life they've always deserved. No boys. No feelings. No detours. Just pure ambition and hard work. But everything changes when she crosses paths with Keiser Flever Severino, a once-famous actor who disappeared from the spotlight after punching his co-actor on set. Arrogant. Mysterious. Broken. And somehow, the very thing Serene swore to avoid. As their worlds collide, secrets unfold, feelings bloom, and choices become harder to make. Will Serene risk the dream she's built her whole life for a love that came too soon? And will Keiser be her downfall, or the only one who truly sees her? Because sometimes, the biggest dreams are tested by the quietest echoes of the heart.

Estella seemed to catch all the bad luck in life. At a young age, she became an orphan, and her own relatives sent her to an orphanage. She grew up enduring bullying and loneliness. And just when she thought life would finally be kinder, adulthood brought her even more pain. She was scammed and betrayed by the very person she trusted. Until Damian Lockster, a rich billionaire, came into her life offering a marriage of convenience. He doesn't like gold diggers, so he offers a fake marriage for the clout-in order to save his peaceful life without drama. "Every woman I've dated was a gold digger.

If I say yes, you don't think I'll use the opportunity to make money off you?" I met his eyes, challenging. "Come on, Damian. I'm broke. Of course I'll use you." He didn't answer right away. Just stared-calm, unreadable. I scoffed. "See? No comeback. I'm no different from the rest." Then he said it. Soft, certain. "Then use me."
