Amanda Mallari has everything.
She was born as the only daughter of a banking tycoon and a famed titleholder beauty queen. With her father's reputable name and her mother's influence in fashion and pageantry, she easily earned a spot within the circle of elites - watched, often talked about, praised, and yes, even criticized. Without anything from her parents though, Amanda still wouldn't be left to nothing.
She has many, many things of her own that are worthy to be lauded. She earned the highest distinction and other honorary awards from a prestigious university abroad. Even after rejecting the limelight life, she was still known and celebrated by many after becoming a bestselling international author. Brain, talent, and as for beauty, her looks is deserving of the most prestigious crown in pageantry, as most people say. On top of that, a kind heart lies beyond her fierce looks.
That's basically.... everything. And she got all of it. Everything... except for one.
Well basically, she still got it. She got him. Thanks to her family's influence and connections, one convenient arrangement led her to being married to Czar Ferreira. The only man she ever liked.... and loved. She got him, although it doesn't seem so. How ironic it is to have someone, and yet... never really own him, or at least, just a part of him like... his heart.

More than a Fantasy
In a world where everyone wants to be aesthetic, she's used to being admired but never truly seen. Compliments come easy-"You're so pretty!" "You look amazing!"-but no one ever asks, "Are you okay?" For the longest time, she's felt like a painting in a gallery-gazed at, praised, but never really known. Then there's him. He's not the poetic type who spins metaphors about her beauty, nor the mysterious bad boy everyone secretly obsesses over. He's just... him. The kind of person who forgets his umbrella on rainy days, orders the same coffee every morning, and sometimes stumbles over his words when he's excited. The first time they talked, he didn't stare too long. Didn't say she was breathtaking. Instead, he simply asked: "Pagod ka na ba?" And somehow, that meant more than any compliment ever did. With him, she doesn't have to be perfect. She doesn't have to be put together, doesn't have to filter her words or curate every moment. She can be quiet, messy, lost in her thoughts-and still, he stays. He listens. He waits. He makes her feel like she doesn't have to be anyone else but herself. Sometimes, love isn't about grand gestures or heart-fluttering moments. Sometimes, it's just someone who makes space for you, who stays even when the moment isn't aesthetic, even when you're not your best, even when you have nothing to say. And for the first time, she doesn't feel like a painting in a gallery. She feels like she's home.Complete
