Villa Celesta was Callea’s sanctuary. It was a rundown’s 1920’s mansion that her family owns. She would be evicted out of the house soon because only the first born son of Lopezes could own it according to tradition. There is only one way to get the mansion though - marry Deive Hontiveros, the grandson of her grandfather’s best friend. Deive was a gorgeous man. The first sight of him made her heart skip a beat. He saw her as a beautiful princess and he had no qualms about marrying her. He was even ready to protect her from the dark elements that go out of Villa Celeste during the night. But would he still marry her if he finds out that she was one with the darkness as well? *** An arranged marriage. A perfect bride. An old, creepy mansion. Deive thought he is lucky to be paired with Callea Lopez - she's beautiful, talented, and loyal. Except she lives in a haunted mansion. And she is keeping secrets from him.
