Crisantha Amor Fuentebella has lived her whole life as a performance-every smile rehearsed, every word measured, every scandal spun into a success story. Heir to a formidable political dynasty, she learned early to survive scandal, master the art of influence. She mastered the game of politics and public opinion, turning herself into the woman everyone envied but few truly knew. In a family where love is currency and loyalty is negotiable, she learned early that survival means becoming exactly what the world expects. But when her carefully balanced life collides with two very different men-one who speaks the language of power as fluently as she does, who fits her world, the safe path her family wanted for her and another who refuses to speak it at all, who wants nothing to do with it-she begins to question the life she's built. One offers safety. The other offers freedom. Both hold pieces of the truth she's been running from. And then, without warning, the man she cannot forget disappears, leaving only silence where there should have been an ending. Now, under the watchful eyes of a world that never blinks, Crisantha must navigate not just a choice between two men, but the risk of dismantling the woman she's spent a lifetime becoming. Crisantha faces the one battle she can't win with charm or power, she left with haunting questions and a decision only she can make: wait for the man who broke her heart, or face a future without him. Waiting means risking her heart on a man who may never return. but moving on could lead her back to the man who never truly left. In a world where nothing is private and everyone is watching, Crisha must decide if love is worth the risk-or if some stories are meant to end unfinished. Date Started: May 6, 2021
