5 parts Ongoing MatureCleopatra Maverick Augustines de Montmorency has everything others could only dream of-wealth, beauty, and the weight of a name that commands respect across the globe. But behind the grand façade of glittering parties and high society lies a young woman yearning for something real. Inspired by the epic love story of her parents, Cleo dreams of a romance that feels like destiny, not obligation.
But destiny isn't kind to heiresses like Cleo. When an arranged marriage looms, threatening to chain her to a life she doesn't want, Cleo makes a daring choice: she vanishes, leaving behind her opulent world and the suffocating expectations of her family.
Reinventing herself as Cleopatra Augustines, she trades diamonds for calloused hands and silk gowns for a maid's uniform, finding sanctuary in a remote hacienda in the quiet province of Cagayan. It's there she meets Gregory Manolo Alcantara Ramirez-the charming, kind-hearted grandson of her employer. He's her first love, her first everything, and for a fleeting moment, it feels like Cleo has found her happily ever after.
But love between a maid and a wealthy heir comes with its own set of complications. With the gap between their worlds threatening to tear them apart, Cleo is forced to confront the reality of her choices. Can love truly conquer all, or will her pursuit of freedom and true love cost her more than she ever imagined?
A story of defiance, passion, and impossible odds-will Cleo prove the world wrong, or are some fairy tales never meant to be?
