Maisie Oliveros grew up believing she was alone in the world. Her mother died while giving birth to her, and she was raised by her aunt, never knowing who her father was. For years, her life was quiet and ordinary-until one shocking day changed everything. Her aunt finally revealed the truth about her father.
Maisie discovers that her father is a famous gay comedian, actor, and successful entrepreneur. But along with his identity comes a painful truth: he refused to accept Maisie and her mother during the pregnancy. That rejection left deep wounds in Maisie's heart and turned into anger. Because of her past, Maisie grows to hate gay men, believing they only choose men and will always leave women behind-just like her father did.
Everything begins to change when she meets Maxi Paredes, a young man chasing his dream of becoming one of the biggest stars of his generation. Maxi is openly gay, confident, and kind-everything Maisie believes she should hate. But when Maxi meets Maisie, he unexpectedly falls in love with her. Confused and in denial at first, he struggles to accept his feelings. In the end, he chooses honesty and decides to pursue her, even knowing it will be difficult.
Maisie rejects him, convinced that Maxi is no different from her father. To her, gay men are meant for men, and loving a woman is only temporary. But as their lives continue to cross, both Maisie and Maxi are forced to face their past, their beliefs, and the painful question: can love exist beyond labels, fear, and broken trust?
She loved him quietly.
He broke her completely.
When Melody disappears from his life, the ruthless billionaire who once ignored her realizes too late what he's lost. And now, he's the one chasing her.
Will he win her back or has she already learned to live without him?
