Sera Selene stopped believing in love a long time ago. After watching her mother's heart shatter and hearing her grandmother's bitter truth-that love without wealth is destined to fail-she's convinced that love isn't meant for someone like her. As the breadwinner of her family since she was thirteen, Selene has no time for dreams or fairy tales. Her life revolves around hard work, sacrifice, and making sure her siblings have the future she never had. Deep down, she fears that if she lets anyone in, she'll only repeat the same painful cycle of broken promises and abandonment.
On the other side of that reality is Lazarus Ashenfeld-a cold, ruthless businessman and devoted single father. After the betrayal of his ex-wife, Lazarus believes love is nothing but a dangerous distraction, a weakness he swore never to fall for again. His world is one of control and certainty, where emotions are locked away and his heart belongs only to his daughter. But when fate brings Selene into his life, two guarded souls who no longer believe in pag-ibig are forced to confront what they've both buried deep inside.
In a world that's already convinced them love isn't real, can they take the risk of falling? O mananatili silang bihag ng takot at sugat ng nakaraan? Will they find a reason to believe again-or will they prove to themselves that love is nothing more than a beautiful lie?
