When Amethyst Duncan- an aspiring fashion designer, meets Theodore Madrilliejo, a famous car racer, a ruthless billionaire, the son of the famous couple, the President of the Republic of the Philippines and Miss Universe 1985, in a not so cliche way. These qualities make a girl knee jelly. But it doesn't have the same effect for Amethyst because she learned.
She was a victim of cheating, her fiance had an affair with an actress who happened to be her ex-best friend. She promised to herself that she will never, again, fall in-love to a person who's status is higher than her.
But as what the saying goes, promises are meant to be broken. Even a promise to yourself is counted. because she didn't just fall for a star, because she fall for 'the' star.

Brazen Rose of Theo

"Yes, ate... Opo, I'll go home early. I'll just finish this. Okay, bye. Love you too." I turned my phone off and went inside the bar. I came here alone, and yes, you're right. I'm heartbroken, I just saw Tim inside the elevator with a girl, he was holding her waist and they're talking dirty as if no one was hearing them. 


I saw Ed, at the entrance, he's waiting for me. 


"You good? I'll make sure I'll take you home. Don't worry." 


He's been courting my elder sister since I was in high school. But the fact that my sister is already engaged, the person she's engaged with is also her first love and her best friend. I'm not taking any side because there is no competition at all, Ed and I are good friends, but nobody knows I had a little crush on him back then. 


My heart was pounding, I'm not even a coffee drinker but I'm sweating bullets and nervous at the moment. I don't know what am I going to do if my guts are right. Drinking alcohol is given, but what about the next day and the day after tomorrow? I couldn't keep my life doing this. 


What the hell? Why are you even thinking and attracting that negativity? 


I'm not attracting anything, isn't it obvious that he cheated on me? 


I went to the front desk, "Hey, is Tim upstairs?" I sound calm as I can be. The lady looked at me and nod. 


"Okay, I'm going up." I didn't wait for the lady's answer but I can hear her calling my name. I reached the elevator but I thought I wouldn't catch them, I went for the stairs but when I reached the 3rd floor I decided to take the elevator, again. 


When the elevator opened I saw them both, at the back corner of the elevator. His hand on her waist. While her palm is drawing circles on his chest and her head on his shoulders. 


What made my heart sunk the most is that the lady beside her is also the girl he told me not to worry about. 


"Oh my! You finally came here to drink and not to talk to Ed?" She looked shocked and happy at the same time. 


"Yeah, I guess. Should I have to be happy?" I asked, sounding not to be sarcastic. 


"Yes? Wait, don't tell me you came here because he cheated?" My whole body freeze and couldn't utter a word. "I'll take that as a yes, there are two types of people who usually go to bars, the first one, are the broken ones who get there self drunk and wanted to forget the pain, and then end up getting laid by some stranger or not." 


"Is that supposed to make me feel better?" Maureen shrugged her shoulders, "No, I'm not. If you want to cry, you're free to do so. No one will stop you here." Then she turned her back on me to prepare my drink. 


I never go to bars to drink, usually, my friends are the ones who make me come with them. Then I'll be the person who'll call a cab to make them go home safely. That's my role, but I don't give a damn. Because they're my friends. Well, here I am now. Alone. Deciding to drink in this bar. I'm wondering what will be their reaction if they knew that I have a problem like this and I didn't even told them plus the fact I drank alone. Mad, maybe? I don't know. I'm here to mend my broken heart, or so I thought. 


"Is this even hard? It looks like a juice to me." Maureen chuckled. 


"See for yourself." She smiled and shooked her head. I started drinking. 


I was about to take my third sip from my drink, when my phone vibrated. When I looked at it, it was from Jam. 


"Where are you? Have you finish your portfolio? I wanna see :<, I'm bored hehe."
