FORBIDDEN RIVALRY

Vinaigrette Kenyo Zamindar

The Butterfly with Scars

Vinaigrette is soft-spoken but sharp, like a blade wrapped in silk. Raised in the rough corners of the city, she learned how to smile through pain, how to laugh even with bruises on her soul. She's street-smart, witty, and painfully observant-she catches what others miss, especially the emotions people try to hide. Her eyes, one-of-a-kind blue, see through masks.

She's mysterious but kind, often helping others without expecting anything in return. But don't mistake her kindness for weakness. Vina fights back when pushed. She has a quiet strength, a chaotic past, and a heart full of secrets-including the butterfly tattoo that might just get her killed.

To love her is to love someone who's always ready to run-but secretly hopes someone will make her stay.

Xaidera Calestine Jazira

The Ice Queen with Fire in Her Bones

Xaidera was born with everything-wealth, power, influence-but not love. Cold, elegant, and intimidating, she walks like she owns the world, and in many ways, she does. She doesn't talk much, but when she does, her words cut clean. Her intelligence is deadly, and her pride is armor.

But beneath the surface is a girl who grew up starving-for affection, attention, and something real. She hides her emotions behind designer clothes and sharp comebacks, but she feels deeply. The only problem? She doesn't know how to show it.

Falling for someone like Vina, someone raw and chaotic, scares her-but also excites her. Because for the first time, someone dares to challenge her... and see her.

What happens when their worlds collide?
They hate each other from the very beginning.
Walang araw na hindi sila nag-aaway.
Isa ay gulo. Isa ay kontrol.
Isa galing sa hirap. Isa galing sa yaman.
Pero paano kung ang pinaka-ayaw mo... siya pala ang taong makakabasag ng pader sa puso mo?

Will they destroy each other?
Or will they end up saving each other?
