In a world where tradition still holds power, two extraordinary women find themselves caught in a pact made long before they understood the meaning of love. Mariah Queen Arceta, known to the public as Aiah, is a 24-year-old fashion powerhouse. As the CEO and founder of the globally celebrated clothing brand ARC, she has built an empire with elegance, grace, and quiet determination. Known for her ethereal beauty and demure presence, Aiah is often described as soft-spoken and kind a true modern muse. Behind her success, however, lies a life dictated by responsibility and familial expectation. Mikhaela Janna Lim, or Mikha, is a prodigy in the medical field. At just 23, she is the youngest Cardiothoracic surgeon in the Philippines and already heads her department at St. Luke's Global City. Calm, composed, and enigmatic, she's often called the "Face Card" of the hospital not just for her striking, androgynous beauty but for the way she commands a room. Behind closed doors, Mikha unwinds through late-night Valorant games, where she lets loose her competitive, playful side far from the cool and stoic doctor the world sees. Their lives, so different yet equally intense, collide when a long-standing agreement between their families resurfaces: an arranged marriage neither of them expected nor wanted. Thrown into a commitment built on legacy rather than love, Aiah and Mikha must navigate their growing bond while balancing careers, public expectations, and the question of what love truly means when it's written into fate. But as secrets are revealed and walls begin to fall, will this unexpected union become the greatest love story neither of them saw coming?

Aiah Arceta has spent her whole life avoiding one simple thing- touch. Because the moment her skin meets someone else's, she hears everything they don't say. Their secrets. Their lies. Their hidden thoughts. She's gotten pretty good at keeping her distance. Until Mikha Lim-the loud, charming, ridiculously persistent girl who won't stop bothering her-decides that getting Aiah's attention is her newest favorite hobby. And then, one accidental touch changes everything. Because out of all the thoughts Aiah has heard in her life... Mikha's are the first ones she wants to hear again. The problem? Some thoughts are easier to hear when you're not the person they're falling for. DEAR MIKHA She can hear everyone's thoughts. But she was never prepared to hear hers.
