Seraphina "Sera" Villafuerte is a girl who breathes luxury. As the only daughter of Mayor Ricardo Villafuerte, her life is a cycle of designer bags, high-end parties, and people bowing to her every whim. She doesn't just get what she wants-she gets it now.
But everything crashes when a dangerous political rival blackmails the Mayor, threatening Sera's life to win the upcoming election. To keep her safe, her father sends her to a dusty province-a place Sera considers a living nightmare.
Her only companion?
Kaelen "Kael" Arante.
With his faded shirts, messy hair, and nonchalant attitude, Kael looks more like a village tambay than a professional bodyguard. He doesn't follow her orders, he doesn't care about her designer clothes, and he treats her like a normal, annoying girl instead of a princess.
Forced to live in a small hut and trade her heels for slippers, Sera hates her new life-and she hates Kael even more. But as the quiet provincial nights pass, she begins to see the man behind the rugged look. Beneath the "tambay" exterior is a man who would jump into the fire just to keep her breathing.
Just when Sera finally finds a reason to love the life she once hated, the danger ends. The enemy is caught. The mission is over.
And Kaelen Arante disappears without a trace, leaving Sera with a broken heart in the middle of the paradise he helped her find.
Will the Mayor's daughter go back to her golden cage, or will she hunt down the man who taught her how to truly live?
