Sivazkidomenikova Vordenizekovich came to the Philippines with one rule : live like a ghost. So she buried her name, her past, and the blood on her hands. She enrolled in a university as Sivaz Vodenizekov, just another quiet foreign student trying to earn a degree. Manila was supposed to be safe. A new life. A clean slate. Until.. it isn't.
She now has to peel back every layer she built to keep her identity unknown in order to stay alive. But the greatest danger isn't only the people hunting her. It's the life she's beginning to want. Between crowded university hallways, newfound friendships, and a boy whose kindness slowly chips away at the walls around her heart, Sivaz finds herself caught between two identities: the daughter of Russia's most feared mafia empire, and the ordinary student she's desperately trying to become.
Because ghosts aren't meant to leave footprints. They aren't meant to laugh with friends, linger over coffee after class, or wonder what it feels like to belong. And the moment a ghost starts living..
Someone is bound to remember who she used to be.
