For Luna Alondra Dawson, marriage is a word so simple but holds so much weight. Some people are scared of it, some don't care much about it, for some it's just a paper, while there are those that just use it as a form of agreement, and there are those that are like her who consider it a dream. The happily ever after. She has goals other than marriage. She made sure that she will check off every goal she has on her list. She made a name for herself. She was known for being the indomitable and tenacious Luna Alondra Dawson. Pero sa haba ng listahan na meron siya at sa dami niyang nalagyan ng marka sa listahan na iyon, iisa lang talaga ang nananatiling mailap sa kaniya. She persisted. She didn't gave up. Until he became hers. His ring on her finger, his name as hers. Going home and seeing their shoes neatly arranged side by side. His mug on the coffee table, his toothbrush next to her own, and their pillows on the bed they share. That should be it, right? But things aren't as they seem. Because they have a secret. A secret that she don't want anyone to uncover. Until it's the right time. Until she's ready to set it free.

Tiara Millicent Silvano is considered as one of the most famous and influential prima ballerinas. She was at the top. There was no place to go. There was nothing more to reach for. Control, which had been the power she yielded from a very young age, became the sword pointed at her neck. She was exhausted, ragged to the bones. She was tired of how the world sees her. Like a wind-up music box with a ballerina that doesn't stop dancing. A beautiful doll that only exist to be admired. Until it was him who was watching her. Domino Dawson. He doesn't look at her like an object of fascination, but rather, it feels like he couldn't care any less if she broke her knees and stopped dancing. It's like he doesn't care if she's out of rhythm, if she doesn't smile and wave, or if she act a little unhinged and unbalanced. He doesn't see her pretense of perfection; what he sees is the brokenness, the cracks, and the edges... the real her that even she can't recognize at times.
