Being a model can be hard especially when dealing with the pressure and stress from your agent and people around the agency.

Gabriella Madrigal has been a model since she was twelve and now twenty- one years old dealing with harsh comments from her agent and the other models who hate her are having success in the modeling business.  

Gabriella could pretend that everything is fine when she knows it is not and try to not kill herself by forcing herself to lose more weight to fit that perfect model type that her agent wants even though the crazy part, she already has that perfect body for it.

Can she overcome it and stand up for herself by ignoring the comments? Or will she give up and end the dreams that made her who she is right now?


Also, will  Gabriella let someone in her life to help and love her no matter what and always still be with her even though she is dealing with a lot of things? 

Someone like Kai Hyun, a twenty-two years old photographer whom she met at her job after both of them bumped into each other......well as you know the rest is history and it ends in a happy ending :)

Aissatou Keita, an emerging and highly sought-after model, is rapidly becoming a household name in the fashion industry. Known for her stunning looks and strong presence on the runway, she has made a name for herself, but the pressure of maintaining her public persona is wearing on her. Behind the glitz and glamour, Aissatou is searching for something more - something real and lasting in a world that often feels fake. Grayson Cho, a talented yet reclusive photographer known for capturing raw and intimate moments, is hired for a high-profile photoshoot featuring Aissatou. Grayson is widely regarded in the celebrity world for his unique, emotionally charged photographs, which have graced the covers of numerous magazines and ad campaigns. Despite his fame, he's not interested in the superficial side of the industry and prefers to keep a low profile, focusing instead on the art of his craft. When Aissatou and Grayson first meet on set, there's an undeniable spark, but both are hesitant to explore it. Aissatou is used to relationships being fleeting and based on appearances, while Grayson is afraid of getting too close to someone in her world of fame and public scrutiny. As they work together on more projects, their connection deepens. Grayson sees beyond Aissatou's beauty, recognizing the vulnerability and strength that lie within her. Aissatou begins to see Grayson as more than just a photographer; his quiet confidence and artistic soul captivate her. However, navigating a relationship in the spotlight isn't easy. They must contend with the pressures of their careers, the expectations of their public personas, and the distance that fame can create. As the two grow closer, they are forced to confront their fears - of love, of trust, and of the expectations that come with being in the public eye. Can they carve out a space for themselves amidst the chaos of their careers, or will their love be yet another fleeting moment in their lives?
