She was told to stay small. Teaching, marrying, and having children were "safe", and engineering was "for men" and "too tough for her". But she wanted oil & gas, steel and systems, wires, and control rooms. Her relatives called her naïve, too soft, and a dreamer who didn't belong. When the rejections piled up, she almost believed them. Almost. Then came the job. Messy. Brutal. Unforgiving. A workplace where sexism was as common as coffee breaks. She fought, stumbled, learned to sharpen her tongue and armor her spirit. And right when the chaos threatened to drown her, he appeared. Not a savior, not a fairytale prince. But a maddeningly attractive, razor-sharp ally whose very brilliance felt like a threat. He was strategic, infuriatingly calm where she burned, always one step ahead. His presence forced her to sharpen her own claws, to outmaneuver, and to rise higher. They clashed. They competed. They pushed each other to the brink... Until rivalry blurred into banter, and banter into something neither of them could ignore. A story of ambition, sabotage, love, and the messy, beautiful alchemy of becoming unstoppable.

A child art prodigy, Caius Jasver Sevilla, stopped painting even though he loved it. His parents forced him to abandon art for a political path, prioritizing lineage over his talent. He built a safe, sturdy house for his family's pride, but left the bright, wild garden of his passion to wither and die. A deep pain started to bother him; true happiness was a language he had forgotten how to speak, its words silent on his tongue. Then he met Ianthe, a photographer who seemed a bit lazy but was very observant. She always had her camera and spoke in short, exact ways that gently questioned how he saw the world. Her violet eyes were the same color Caius used to paint, and her smile made him feel a sense of familiarity- like colors coming alive after a long sleep. She understood the power of color, and he understood her perfectly. DISCLAIMER: This story is written in Taglish.
