When silence hides secrets, and laughter rewrites destiny...
Eli Navarro lives in shadows. A billionaire trader whispered about in Manila's financial circles, he trusts only numbers, never people. Haunted by his father's mysterious death and betrayed by those closest to him, Eli has built his empire on silence-predictable, unbreakable, safe.
Until Maya Reyes crashes into his world.
A chaotic barista with flour on her cheek, ₱87 in her bank account, and a dream that smells like cinnamon rolls, Maya is everything Eli isn't-warm, messy, alive. One spilled coffee, one crooked smile, and suddenly Eli's carefully guarded patterns begin to unravel.
But love is never simple.
As Eli digs deeper into the conspiracy that destroyed his family, Maya faces betrayals of her own-corruption, envy, and the price of protecting those she loves. Their worlds collide in a storm of secrets, danger, and undeniable chemistry.
In a city where power is currency and silence can kill, Eli and Maya must decide:
Will they risk everything for a love that defies logic, or will the signals between them fade into noise?
