Ceragei
Belle Ramos has always known where she stands at Hacienda Araneta-Ledesma. Her mother, Lourdes, is the estate's trusted mayordoma. Belle is the girl Don Augusto and Doña Mercedes treat like family-and the girl their only son, Sebastian, believes has been given far too much of what should have been his alone.
Sebastian grows from the cold boy Belle secretly adores into an internationally famous model whose face belongs to billboards, runways, luxury campaigns, and millions of fans. Belle tries to bury the love she has carried since childhood, especially when Joaquin Montemayor-Sebastian's wealthy best friend-becomes the first boy to choose her openly.
But years later, a final condition in the Araneta-Ledesma family will ties Sebastian's inheritance to Belle.
He must marry the mayordoma's daughter.
To Sebastian, the condition proves the suspicion he has carried for years: Belle wanted his family, his name, and his fortune. To Belle, the marriage is both the impossible dream she once prayed for and the beginning of a life she will someday beg to escape.
Their marriage remains hidden from the public while Sebastian continues his relationship with Alessandra Madrigal, the beloved influencer everyone thinks is his perfect match. As rumors paint Belle as the mistress, Sebastian's resentment slowly twists into jealousy and possession-just as Joaquin returns and begins fighting for the woman he once loved.
Belle spends years believing Sebastian is almost ready to choose her.
Until "almost" is no longer enough.
