Beautiful Mess.
Anastasia Isabela Araneta Gutierrez was born with everything—wealth, pedigree, and a name that opens every door. Her family owns hospitals, restaurants, and an empire built on elegance. But despite the power in her bloodline, she moves through life quietly, graceful, untouchable, and always just out of reach.
While her brother dominates global headlines as a K-pop icon, Anastasia keeps her world small. She rides horses, not red carpets. Wins medals, not applause. And in every victory, she remains unreadable, a girl who never flinches, never folds, and never asks for more.
Because the truth is, she’s used to being second.
Second in attention. Second in love. Second in everything.
But cold doesn’t mean careless.
And quiet doesn’t mean weak.
They think they know her.
They don’t.
She’s not here to prove anything.
She just wants to be seen for who she is, not who she isn’t.
