In court, she's ruthless. At home, she's silent. And in between, she's just trying to hold it all together.
Atty. Celestine Monroe Saluñga-brilliant, cold, composed-fights for those who've been failed by the system: kids trapped in toxic homes, victims with no voice, and clients the world already judged guilty.
But when Elisse Rue Sorell, the girl who once shattered her, walks back into her courtroom and her life, the rules blur. The line between personal and professional crosses-just like the past she never got to heal from.
As secrets unravel and the media circles like vultures, Monroe must choose: protect her heart or win the case. In a courtroom where every word is evidence, even Her Honor can't stay untouched.
MONROE:
I fight for the ones who don't get fought for.
For kids pulled into battles they never asked to be in.
For people who the world already calls guilty.
For silence that deserves to be heard.
But no one tells you what happens when your past walks into your courtroom.
Her name is Elisse Rue Sorell.
And once, I almost gave everything just to hear her say I was worth staying for.
Now I'm supposed to stand beside her. Cold. Focused. Unshaken.
But how do you defend someone who once destroyed you... without letting her ruin what's left?
