Para maiwasan ang kahihiyan at tuluyang pagbagsak ng pamilya nila, si Aria ang ipinasuot sa gown. Walang tanong-tanong. Pretend. Smile. Say "I do" to a man who was never meant to be hers. Damian Valtor is cold. Calculated. Furious. He knows this isn't the woman he agreed to marry. Pero tinuloy pa rin niya. Because power is everything-and Aria? She's just a pawn. A weak replacement for her strong, flawless sister. But Aria is done playing nice. Done being quiet. Done being invisible. Sa isang kasalang binuo sa kasinungalingan, Aria and Damian enter a war of wills. She's not the weak girl he expected. And he's not as heartless as she thought. What started as a six-month deal slowly begins to blur... into something dangerously real. But when secrets rise and Sienna returns, Aria must face the truth: Will she always be second best? Or will she finally become someone's first choice?
