Astrielle Eiryls Claveria knows too well the struggles of being the eldest. Studying abroad in France, juggling part-time jobs, while still sending money back home to her family in the Philippines. To her mother, she's nothing more than an ATM, not a daughter. To her friends, she's the strong one always capable, always enduring. But deep inside, she's tired of endless sacrifices and of dreams that always get pushed aside for everyone else.
She never expected that one day, she would literally bump into Lexion Creiox a handsome architect, playful, mysterious, and full of surprises. Their worlds couldn't be more different: she, barely holding on just to survive; he, someone who seems to have everything within reach. But behind Lexion's mischievous smiles, Astrielle slowly discovers a man who sees the wounds she hides so well, and who is willing to carry even just a part of her heavy burdens.
Yet in a life where responsibility has always come first, will Astrielle dare to give her heart a chance? Or will she push Lexion away, afraid of losing the only thing she feels she still has control over her own fragile, almost broken life?
