Amanda Mallari has everything. She was born as the only daughter of a banking tycoon and a famed titleholder beauty queen. With her father's reputable name and her mother's influence in fashion and pageantry, she easily earned a spot within the circle of elites - watched, often talked about, praised, and yes, even criticized. Without anything from her parents though, Amanda still wouldn't be left to nothing. She has many, many things of her own that are worthy to be lauded. She earned the highest distinction and other honorary awards from a prestigious university abroad. Even after rejecting the limelight life, she was still known and celebrated by many after becoming a bestselling international author. Brain, talent, and as for beauty, her looks is deserving of the most prestigious crown in pageantry, as most people say. On top of that, a kind heart lies beyond her fierce looks. That's basically.... everything. And she got all of it. Everything... except for one. Well basically, she still got it. She got him. Thanks to her family's influence and connections, one convenient arrangement led her to being married to Czar Ferreira. The only man she ever liked.... and loved. She got him, although it doesn't seem so. How ironic it is to have someone, and yet... never really own him, or at least, just a part of him like... his heart.

A first-year med student from UST Medicine, Gabriella Beatrice Morel always knows that she can do anything she wants because of wealth and a pretty face. She finds solace in jumping from one fling to another because committing is not her thing. That's why entertaining the first-year med student from UP Medicine, Lourde Reagan Laxamana, and a fourth-year med student from UST Medicine, Aldous Francois D'aureville at the same time thrills something within her. A challenge. A game. A distraction from studying. One taught her that love can be felt in silence and consistency to achieve one's goal to become a doctor. While the other taught her that love can be freedom and palpable tension without knowing what tomorrow awaits. To look in front of the mirror and not recognize the person that she was looking at. To realize that over the years her identity was only built by what other people think she is. To see that she was never in touch with herself in the first place. As she reflects, all those wrong decisions, indecisiveness, and mistakes shaped her to become or not to become. That even when the rain and wind come forth to dim her sky, it cannot quiver, for it mirrors strength and love-a strong woman she becomes in the eyes of becoming a doctor. In spite of that, how can she handle another breakthrough when colossal storms with sword thunder come in to barge into her solitude skies? STARTED: JUNE 26, 2025 FINISHED: JANUARY 04, 206
