A daughter of a prominent senator, an heir to a great family, strives to keep her image clean in order not to disappoint her parents after her naked photo got sent to everyone at school.
***
Young, intelligent, and beautiful Cleopatra Montgomery-Martinez only does everything to achieve one goal: not disappointing her parents and ending up disowned like her brother. She's a top student, a student council member, a valedictorian candidate, and she's currently dating the boy her parents approve of. All may seem well for her, but behind the blinding façade she created lies her insecurity about herself, the manipulative ways of her parents, and her tumultuous relationship with her toxic boyfriend. Despite this, her life is exactly what she desires for one reason: her parents are proud of her achievements.
However, her life took a turn for the worse when a nude photo she sent to her boyfriend was circulated throughout the school. On the verge of ruining everything she worked hard for, artist Jester Iverson Delos Santos came with a deal that changed the course of her entire life.
Would she be able to save herself from her impending humiliation or will she end up like her brother, disowned and shamed, left out of the family picture?
