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.
Alani Mireille Tejada feels incomplete even though she has it all already. Beauty. Talent. Wealth. But when she meets Giovanne Zabala, she knows that he is the one who can help her. She will ask him a favor the he can not resists. And that favor will lead to the discovery of their families' past and secrets.
