Furious, Valeria vows revenge—only to return home to another one of Daniel’s pranks, leading to a violent confrontation that changes everything. But Valeria’s life is far more complicated than it seems. Adopted into the powerful Royale family, she was groomed for one purpose: to marry Leon, the family’s rebellious black sheep. Though beloved by their grandmother, Leon is everything Valeria despises—a reckless, charming playboy who sees through her icy façade. Haunted by past trauma and a deep-seated hatred for men, Valeria refuses to let love weaken her ambitions.

He challenges her at every turn, igniting a dangerous game of seduction and betrayal. As tensions escalate between Valeria and LEON, and her forced marriage looms closer, she must decide: Will she cling to her vengeance and ambition, or will Leon’s persistent win her over. A dark past involving abandonment and betrayal fuels her hatred for men, making her fiercely independent but emotionally closed off. Leon’s Complexity:Though seen as the family’s reckless outcast, Leon is far more perceptive than anyone realizes. His genuine affection for Valeria clashes with her schemes.

When she locks eyes with Aiden, a charismatic and confident classmate, something inside her stirs. It’s a fleeting moment, just a single glance across a crowded campus, yet it feels as if the universe has shifted.

Emilia becomes consumed by the thought of him, finding herself torn between the fear of rejection and the overwhelming pull she feels toward him. Determined to understand what happened between them, she embarks on a journey to uncover who he is, only to discover that he is as elusive as the emotions he stirs within her. As the story unfolds, Emilia and Aiden’s paths cross again, and they begin to connect over shared interests in books, music, and movies. Their bond deepens, and Emilia finds herself drawn to him in ways she can’t explain. Yet, despite the growing closeness, there remains an undeniable distance—an emotional barrier that neither seems able to cross. In a heart-wrenching twist, the love that started with a single look ends as quickly as it began. Aiden, who has always been emotionally distant, becomes more withdrawn, leaving Emilia to grapple with the painful realization that their connection was never meant to last.
