But things do not always go according to plan. She didn't make it to SCA, but she made it to Brent. It wasn't the best school, but she met a lot of good people. She was happy.

Everything was great... until her last year in law school. That's when shit started to happen.

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.

Kinaumagahan ay natagpuan na lang niya ang sarili sa isang kama. Kasama ang lalaking pinaka-aayawan niya. Si Callante, nakayakap sa beywang niya at may ngising tagumpay sa labi. "Akin ka na ngayon."
