In court, they battle like strangers. But between depositions, in late-night calls, shared silence, and barely missed chances, they start to remember what they once were... and what they've become. Because in a world where power comes first and justice is just a branding choice, sometimes the only thing more dangerous than losing... is wanting something more than to win.

you, not ending up with your soulmate is beyond the notion of the universe. if you want a happy ever after, this story is not for you. it's the ache that lives in between - when love is real, but you decided to not see it through.

Klarisse has always managed to keep her family afloat with sheer willpower, endless coffee, and occasional emotional breakdowns in the bathroom. Life as a single mom to four wildly different kids: Mika the perfectionist eldest, dramatic and proudly gay Esnyr, his slightly terrifying genius twin sister Shuvee, and chaotic little Will, is already a circus. But everything spirals when Esnyr impulsively signs up Shuvee for the town's most prestigious (and suspiciously intense) teen pageant as a prank... and she gets in.

When the de Guzman family leaves the city behind, all they want is a fresh start - a chance to breathe, to heal, and to rebuild what was lost. In the quiet neighborhood of La Cienega, they discover a world far different from the one they left behind: slower, softer, and unexpectedly full of hope. But starting over is never easy. Old wounds still ache, new challenges appear, and the bonds between them will be tested in ways they never imagined. Amid laughter, small heartbreaks, and gentle joys, they'll learn that peace isn't just a place - it's something they can create together.

What if sa pagbalik mo sa nakaraan, isa lang ang puwede mong mailigtas? When Shuvee mysteriously wakes up ten years in the past, she's given one chance to rewrite fate and prevent the tragic deaths of her favorite boyband-ASHLEY. With the time slipping away, she can only save one between Ralph, Anthony and River. As Shuvee grows closer to each of them, love and destiny collide, forcing her to make a choice that will shatter her heart forever.
