An Unseemly Lady

Over the Fourth of July weekend, I took my boyfriend's sister to his flashy new influencer hub. Fresh off brain surgery, Benedetta Griffin needed a break from her recovery, and I hoped the trip would lift her spirits. In the hub, a streamer was hawking a face cream like a carnival barker. "Listen, fam! The boss lady is slashing prices. Get this $3,800 cream for just $398 today!" Benedetta tugged my sleeve. "That cream is bad news." She'd interned at the FDA last summer and could spot a scam from a mile away. "It's packed with steroids. Long-term use will ruin your skin." Driven by her sense of justice, she marched up to the streamer. "You can't sell this unlicensed junk. The steroids exceed legal limits. Pull it from the shelves." Morgan Lamb froze, but then her fake smile twisted into a scowl. "Who the hell are you to trash my product?" Benedetta didn't back down. "You're scamming people, and you know it." Morgan planted her hands on her hips. "I'm the boss lady here. How dare you slander my brand? Nobody leaves until you cough up $500,000 for damages." "Boss lady?" My stomach churned. My boyfriend's sudden venture into the streaming industry now made sense. He was sinking money into this hub to bankroll his lover. I fumbled for my phone to call him, but Morgan was faster. "Babe, get to the hub. Two haters crashed the party, trying to tank our business."

Narnia Melpomene Alvarez—ang tinaguriang "rebelde" na kakambal ni Urania, ayon sa kaniyang tiyuhin na si Luis Grimaldi. Buong buhay niya, iisa lang ang kanyang layunin: ang makamit ang hustisya para sa kanyang mga magulang, anuman ang kapalit. Sa murang edad pa lamang, buo na ang kanyang loob na ipaglaban ito, kahit sariling buhay ang isugal, lalo na para sa natitira niyang pamilya—ang kakambal niyang si Urania. Kaya’t hindi na nakapagtataka nang sumali siya sa isang lihim na grupo na konektado sa underground society. Alam niyang delikado ito, pero iyon ang tanging paraan para maabot ang matagal niyang pinapangarap. Ngunit isang gabi ang nagbago ng lahat—isang gabing ginulo ng hindi inaasahang estranghero. Ang pagtulong niya kay Zuhair Eros Smith ay tila isang maling hakbang na hinding-hindi niya makakalimutan. Bigla na lang napasok si Eros sa buhay niya—isang lalaking misteryoso, mapang-asar, at puno ng mga lihim. Wala sa plano ni Narnia ang pagbukas ng kanyang puso para sa sinuman, lalo pa’t hindi niya lubos kilala ang lalaking tila may koneksyon sa kanyang madilim na nakaraan. Hanggang saan ang kaya niyang isugal para sa pangako niya sa kanyang pamilya? Paano kung ang taong nagbubukas ng pintuan sa pagmamahal ay isa ring susi sa kasinungalingan? At paano kung ang laban para sa hustisya ay makasira sa pag-ibig na unti-unting namumuo? Ngayong nagbabanggaan ang kanyang puso at prinsipyo, kailangan niyang pumili: ipaglaban ang nakaraan o tanggapin ang pagmamahal na dala ng lalaking hindi niya sigurado kung kaibigan o kalaban.
