Szafira Klyr Ortega has been a hopeless romantic for as long as she can remember. She is a veteran of heartbreaks, most of which occurred before a relationship even began.

However, after the sudden ending of her last "almost" relationship, Szafira made a silent pact with herself. She swore to stop letting love define her worth and started burying the parts of her that were too soft, too giving. Until she met Nathan Aaron Lim.

She wasn't captivated by the playboy persona everyone else saw, she was intrigued by the cracks in the armor. If his ego is truly that high, then why do his eyes look so incredibly kind?
