Some stories begin with love.
Serena's began with silence.
The night her mother died, the moon was full — the kind of night her mother once said angels could see them best. But no angels came. Only screeching tires, a drunk heiress in red lipstick, and a body left to cool on the pavement.
At sixteen, Serena Aguilar learned that the world bows to money, not justice. That killers walk free when their last name is Lagrimas. That sometimes the last face your mother sees is the one you'll never forget.
Nine years later, Serena is no longer the girl in the back seat. She returns as someone new — sharper, smarter, and beautiful in a way that disarms. With a name "Celeste Dela Peña" with a plan they won't see coming.
Her target: the Lagrimas legacy. Her weapon: the man Vivienne is set to marry — Adrian Verano, the empire's golden son.
Love was never the intention.
But in a war of masks and secrets, even vengeance can lose its way in the heart.
