Khione Amber Alvarez She's sugar and spice; one sarcastic line away from chaos. An heiress born into the glitz and glam of the Alvarez empire, Khione would rather fake being broke than follow the rules of high society. Loud, lovable, and lowkey a menace, she masks her loneliness with humor and too many flirty jokes. But behind the makulit smile is a girl craving a love that feels like home-even if she doesn't know it yet. She's never been one to follow the plan... until a certain professor starts feeling a little too familiar, a little too perfect, and a little too dangerous for her heart. --- Professor Anastasia Serenity Carrington Elegant, brilliant, and utterly unreadable-Professor Carrington is everything Khione isn't. Calm where she's loud. Composed where she's chaotic. And hiding secrets under every smile. She's engaged to a man she doesn't love, living a life that isn't hers, and teaching a student she swore not to fall for. But when fate throws them together, pretending not to care might be the biggest lie of all. Tied together by a fate neither of them chose, Khione and Anastasia are pulled into a web of secrets, where truth is blurred, love is forbidden, and nothing is ever what it seems. Because sometimes, the heart remembers what the mind forgets.
