She was never supposed to dream, but she did. Casandra Idelyn Asuncion grew up in a place where survival was a daily struggle and education was a luxury few could afford. Defying her family's belief that dreaming was a waste, Cassidy fought hard to earn a government scholarship to one of the country's most prestigious universities. But once she arrived, she was accused of having a backer, and rumors spread that her acceptance was a mistake--an error in a system that wasn't meant for someone like her.
Determined to prove her worth, Cassidy seeks transparency and proof of her qualifications from Jeremaiah Rylan Altacosta, the son of the scholarship head committee, hoping to silence the doubts surrounding her. But when the world has already marked her without merit, where can she find the inner strength--not only to prove others wrong but to believe in her dreams and claim her rightful place?
