Rumere
Miguel "Miggy" Reyes grew up under the Villanuevas' roof-not as family, but as the son of their most loyal kasambahay. Quiet, disciplined, and invisible when the elite needed him to be.
Until one school competition changed everything.
A single win sparks rumors, envy, and the kind of attention Miggy never wanted. Suddenly, the Villanueva heir-Raffy-treats him like a threat. Whispers follow him through hallways. People with power smile to his face and stab behind his back.
But Miggy isn't the same boy he used to be.
He's seen how cruelty works.
He knows how ambition is built.
And this time, he won't let anyone drag him down.
With only his mother, a few unexpected allies, and a mind sharp enough to challenge their world, Miggy learns that rising quietly... is the most dangerous rise of all.
Because the higher he climbs, the more the Villanuevas will realize:
they should have never underestimated the houseboy's son.
A story of class tension, silent wars, and the slow, calculated climb of a boy no one expected to fight back.
