Tiara Millicent Silvano is considered as one of the most famous and influential prima ballerinas.
She was at the top. There was no place to go. There was nothing more to reach for. Control, which had been the power she yielded from a very young age...

CHAPTER TWO: PROMISE
DOMINO'S POV
A few hours ago...
I have officially lost my mind. That's the only explanation why I'm over five thousand miles away from the Philippines just to watch a ballet competition. Kung tatanungin siguro ako noon kung interesado ako sa mundo ng ballet ay baka natawa lang ako. I doubt the word even crossed my mind in my thirty-four years on this planet. Yet here I am.
It all started a few months ago when my sister-in-law, Circe, came back from her honeymoon. She invited me to watch a ballet show, and even though I wasn't particularly interested in going, I didn't have the heart to say no. Lalo pa at sa dami naming magkakapatid ay ako pa ang inaya niya.
I said yes so that I could boast to my siblings that I'm my new sister-in-law's favorite Dawson. Of course, aside from her husband. Bias ang isang 'yon pagdating kay Kuya Coal.
Iyon nga lang ay sa araw na manonood ako kasama ang mag-asawa ay nagkaroon ng emergency si Circe. I was already at the Philippine Ballet Theatre when they called me. Circe was so apologetic about not informing me beforehand. She said she thought she could make it and her symptoms would go away, but it seems like she caught a stomach bug and wouldn't be okay in time for the show.
Wala namang problema sa akin. Pwede naman akong umuwi na lang tutal nasa kanila naman ang ticket ko. Kaya lang nanghihinayang si Circe sa tickets. She even hinted that I could bring a date if I wanted.
Para lang hindi na siya mag-alala ay pumayag na lang ako. I didn't bring anyone with me though, and instead, I just decided to watch the performance alone.
It's not that there's no one that I could ask out that would come running even to a last-minute invite. I just didn't want to.
My brother Coal and I are similar in a lot of ways. We both date a lot. The only difference between us is that he didn't quit looking for a casual relationship. Not until he met my sister-in-law. On the other hand, I quit mindless hookups that felt like ages ago because I was searching for a more serious relationship. Hindi nga lang nila alam.
Only it isn't easy to find.
Nahugot ako mula sa iniisip ko nang maramdaman ko ang pagbangga sa akin nang kung sino. Kunot ang noo na lumingon ako pero nagmamadaling nilagpasan ako ng lalaki. The knot on my forehead deepened when I caught a glimpse of the phone he's holding. It was quick, and the device turned black in a second, but not before I saw the picture of a woman that is familiar to me.
Pamilyar dahil sa loob ng ilang buwan ay hindi na siya naalis sa isipan ko.
Maybe he's a fan. Who am I to judge him for having her photograph? Kung ako nga ay ilang bansa na ang napuntahan sa loob lang ng ilang buwan para lang panoorin siya.
