After being dumped by her long-time college boyfriend, Georgianna Isla Dela Cuesta refuses to be the girl he easily forgets. The plan? Follow him to law school and make him regret for leaving her and the only way to do that is to become better than him at the one place he thinks he owns.
Georgianna, born and raised in privilege, never needed to work hard for anything. As the only daughter of the Dela Cuesta empire, she's always been spoiled, high-maintenance, and too "Marilyn Monroe" for society's idea of a respectable woman. Her ex left her because she was "too much" too clingy, too girly, too dramatic and he wanted a girl with a "bright future," not a charity case in designer heels."
Until the notorious Thaddeus Gael Resuello, fratboy, born genius, the one worshiped by every girl in law school. She heard all these humors of these girls about him. And yet, in the middle of all the case digests and late night study sessions, it's him who made law school almost bearable for her.
She swore this time things would be different... she would never lose herself in a man again, never let anyone treat her like she was nothing.
But somehow, somewhere between late-night study sessions and his cigarette smoke, she finds herself wrapped around Thaddeus' fingers... and this heartbreak might destroy her twice

Apolonia Hiraya Nobles never dreamed of becoming a lawyer until a man of honor lit the flame of justice in her heart. Juan Alexandro Resuello, heir to the Resuello legacy, son of the late Chief Justice, stood as the pillar of everything she admired: truth, justice, and honor. With eyes set on the law and heart quietly stitched to Jax, she carved her path with grit, fueled by quiet devotion and unwavering dreams.
But fate has never bowed to anyone's blueprint.
A tragedy tore her away from the very town where her dreams were planted. The place that once gave her hope became the same place that buried her peace. For years, rage replaced hope. Silence replaced joy. And law school became more than a dream-it became her weapon.
Now, as law school finally begins, Apolonia returns not just to study law but to seek the truth, to reclaim what was taken, and to face the ghosts she left behind.
And then... she sees him again.
