Ravenna Eira is a rising star at Lozano College of the Philippines, admired for her singing, beauty, brain, and talent. But behind her calm and confident appearance hides a storm she inherited from her mother-a past full of heartbreak, betrayal, and unfinished pain. Her mother, Eira Patriarca, once shared a deep and true love with a man-only to be torn apart when his family decided there was someone "perfect" for their son, and she was not it. The heartbreak was so deep that it drove her mother to the edge of sanity, leaving her trapped in a fragile mind and a life shadowed by loss. Years later, the same man comes back-but this time, the tables have turned. Broken hearts, lies, and obsession blur the line between justice and revenge. Watching the man who destroyed her mother's happiness, Vera is determined to make him feel the chaos he once caused. Vera's weapons are her charm, intelligence, and her endless patience. She enters the world of Theodore Maximilian Lozano-a powerful councilor, devoted father, and married man whose life seems untouchable. With every song, every jokes, every look, and every careful move-she turns every encounter into a trap, awakening desires he never expected and sparking obsessions he cannot control. But while Vera moves her pieces in this dangerous game, John Jude Fadriquela watches from the shadows. Quiet and loyal, his love for her runs deep, hidden beneath calm eyes. Always ready to protect her, he offers unwavering support, standing close even as the world around her grows darker and more threatening. But revenge is never simple. As Theodore falls deeper, Vera realizes that obsession has its own cost, and the line between justice and cruelty begins to disappear. Loyalties are tested, families interfere, and the shadows of past betrayals threaten to consume them all. In a world where love, power, and revenge collide, who will survive when karma finally comes knocking? Language used: Tagalog & English
