Warning: If you don't like a problematic character, then this story is not for you. - Missy Haze Villamero grew up proving herself to her mother and competing with her siblings. She has the medals, certificates, trophies, and awards but all of them are futile because it wasn't enough to please her mother. Instead of being validated, she was neglected and suffered later on. But her determination encouraged her to keep going. Minsan, ayos lang sa kaniya ang lahat dahil mayroon naman siyang mga kaibigan. Sila ang nagbibigay ng ngiti sa kaniyang labi at naghahatid ng galak sa sugatan niyang puso. She treasured them so much to the point that she'll die fighting for them. At nabuhay siya sa paniniwalang gano'n rin ang mga ito sa kaniya. But when everything turned upside down, they were nowhere to be found. In the middle of her suffering, they abandoned her. And the moment she was about to end her life, a stranger came and inspired her to shine for the second time, even in the darkest night. - "I've seen you bear all the hardships that life had given you in this world. After everything, you made me realized that the more the night gets darker, the more the star shines. You're not a beauty queen but you deserve a crown, too." September 2, 2021- December 31, 2021
