In the eyes of other people, Praestia Audrey Seranillais the kind of person who could turn heads and make people want to be her. With the mask she had on, she knew what she was doing. She was 'That Girl'.
She loved the attention, it was something she couldn't get from her parents. To them, she was nothing but a disappointment.
She wanted to make them proud of her in the way they were always proud of her sister. So, when their business goes downhill and she was flung into an engagement to the son of the congressman who was hellbent on annoying her, she accepted thinking she would finally be able to please her parents.
As it turns out, Xantheus Artico Ilustrisimo was more than what she expected. He was the only person who could see behind her mask. The only one who could calm the raging waves in her mind. The only one who would wipe her tears.
She didn't expect that he could be the reason for them as well when she finds out she's just been a puppet to a much bigger scheme.

Cruising in the Stars (Cielo Gracia Chronicles #1)
Some people are just meant to be despised. Someone has to play that part. At nakakalungkot mang tanggapin, baka isa ako sa mga iyon. Matagal ko nang inihanda ang sarili na tanggapin iyon. Sa mundong ito, ang pagmamahal at pagtanggap ay para lamang sa iilang maswerte. Hindi para sa mga katulad ko. Di ko na kailangan pang pangarapin ang pag-ibig at pagyakap dahil bata pa lamang ako ay alam ko nang hindi 'yon para sakin. It was already dictated from the very beginning.
