Tainted Beauty

Her name screams it all. Fame. Money. Luxury. A renowned star, she is.

Throughout her life, she'd been in the spotlight and the only thing that must have mattered to a Marquez like her, was her name to take care of. Isabella Cassandra Marquez was and will always be a headline in many of the gossip articles online. From her notorious dating history to her unending dramas in life that eluded every paparazzi's prying eyes and ears in California. Her existence is painted a canvas of wild escapades that fuels the insatiable hungry eyes of paparazzi for scandalous gossip.

The only thing that mattered to her was to prove her father wrong- that she could handle business or even businesses of their own without help. But that doesn't come easily, for Isabella who doesn't have any experience in business, it is indeed a struggle.

Of course, she needs help- a long and patient help from someone- and that someone turns out to be someone she despises. Someone like Gabriel Montevera, a sought-after of his clan, an underground artist of the band The South, and a very prominent name in the business industry- which captured the heart of her grandfather.

Even though hearing his mere name is enough to ruin her bright and beautiful day, her plan to use him against her grandfather is much more worthy than her rage for him.

But where does her deception take her-until he falls for the trap she set for him? Or until she falls for the trap he set for her?
