When Our Pages Crossed

Every story has a prologue. Theirs began with a meeting neither of them remembered. Years later, fate turned the page and rewrote their story in a chapter they never expected to share.

Alouette Lyséa "Seya" Hawthorne is a third-year BSA student at UST. Quiet, reserved, and constantly battling anxiety, she's the kind of person who carries everyone's expectations on her shoulders while silently questioning if she's enough.

Growing up in a family that lived comfortably but valued every peso, Seya learned early on that every sacrifice her parents made was for their future. She dreams of becoming a CPA, not for recognition or success alone, but to repay their countless sacrifices and give them the life they've always deserved.

Despite countless job applications, endless rejections, and the pressure of surviving one of the country's toughest degree programs, she keeps moving forward even the days when she feels like life has already declared her a loser.

Then there's Cassiane "Cane" Montemayor.

A second-year law student at UST. Son of one of the country's wealthiest families. SK Chairman. Intelligent, well-mannered, gentle, and admired by almost everyone who knows him. While people see privilege, they fail to see the quiet burdens that come with carrying a name everyone expects to be perfect.

They come from completely different worlds.

She carries the weight of dreams she refuses to give up.

He carries the expectations that come with his family name.

And somewhere between those burdens, fate made their pages cross.

What if the stranger she once met years ago becomes the very person who reminds her that she is worthy?

What if the man who has everything discovers that the one thing he truly needs is the girl who believes she has nothing?

Sometimes, the most beautiful love stories don't begin with love at first sight.

Sometimes...

They begin with a forgotten prologue and a chapter that fate patiently waited to write.
