Miko Lim
The Chef Who Learned to Close His Heart

A male chef, fiercely passionate about cooking

Cooking is discipline, art, and control all in one

Snob, intimidating, and extremely strict in the kitchen
-Walang kalat
-Walang mali
-Walang atrasan

Was deeply hurt by his first love

Chose work over healing

Believes perfection is protection

Emotionally guarded, closed off, and hard to read

Doesn’t believe in love stories anymore—especially happy ones

Aiah Arceta
The Princess Who Wants to Breathe

A true princess — raised with etiquette, grace, and strict expectations

Very prim and proper, bawat kilos may bantay

Matalino, mabait, masunurin sa magulang

But she feels trapped, slowly suffocating under perfection

Desperately wants freedom — to choose, to fail, to live

Curious about the real world she’s never allowed to explore

Surprisingly madaldal, playful, and expressive—only when her parents aren’t around

Hides her true self behind politeness and smiles

Love feels like a luxury she’s not allowed to want

When political unrest threatens the royal family, Princess Aiah Arceta is secretly sent to the Philippines to keep her safe-away from the crown, the palace, and the life slowly suffocating her

When political unrest threatens the royal family, Princess Aiah Arceta is secretly sent to the Philippines to keep her safe-away from the crown, the palace, and the life slowly suffocating her. Accompanied only by her Filipina yaya, Aiah steps into a world where she is no longer a princess, but a girl learning how to breathe.

Waiting for her is Miko Lim, a well-known chef who hates disorder, secrets, and anything that could endanger the people he loves. Protective of his mother and tired of her loyalty to the royal family, Miko sees Aiah as a risk he never asked for.

But as days turn into quiet nights and stolen moments, walls begin to crack. A princess longing for freedom meets a man who built his life around control-and in the country where she hides from the world, they find something neither of them was prepared for.

Because some love isn't chosen.
Some love finds you...
as if you were born for it.
