Elara Ysabel Dela Cruz looks like an ordinary freshman at St. Ignatius University quiet, cheerful, and always smiling.
What no one knows is that behind her fragile frame lies a secret only her mother carries: Stage 4 Leukemia with severe anemia. Her days are numbered, and time is slipping away faster than she dares to admit.
Instead of surrendering to despair, Elara writes a list: Six Rules Before I Die. Six small wishes to make her life feel whole, even if it's slowly fading.
Then she meets Alaric "Rico" Montenegro the cold and distant Student Council president who despises his stepfather and hides his own scars. He is everything Elara shouldn't get close to. But fate has other plans.
As their worlds collide in classrooms, hallways, and hospital rooms Elara learns what it means to live, and Rico learns what it means to love.
But rules were made to be broken... and not every story gets a happy ending.

In a family shaped by shadows, her light might be their only hope - or their greatest weakness. When Elara's mother marries into the infamous Calviero family, her world changes overnight. At just fifteen, she's thrust into a dangerous realm ruled by her stepfather and seven lethal stepbrothers, each with a fierce role in the mafia empire. Elara stands out - not just for her striking platinum hair and mesmerizing heterochromia, but for her compassionate heart and unwavering strength. A talented figure skater, she moves with grace on the ice but must learn to navigate a far more perilous stage at home. Her brothers are wary at first - hardened by years of violence and betrayal - but slowly, their fierce loyalty begins to extend to her. As old rivalries reignite and hidden threats emerge, Elara must confront the darkness lurking not only within her family but also within herself. And when whispers of a long-buried secret begin to surface, everything Elara thought she knew about her past - and her future - comes into question. In a world where trust means the difference between life and death, Elara's kindness is both her greatest strength and her most dangerous vulnerability. The question is: can she survive this world without losing who she truly is?
