Helena Vasconcellos has always lived in the shadow of the family name she carries—and of the perfect sister everyone loves to showcase. Plus-sized, discreet, and constantly underestimated, she learned to hide in oversized clothes, comfortable silences, and invisible walls. To society, she is merely “the forgotten daughter of the Vasconcellos family.”
But everything changes when Rafael Monteiro, the ruthless and irresistible CEO of the Alcor Group, enters her life.
What began as a business meeting evolves into a dangerous game of glances, carefully chosen words, and feelings Helena believes she doesn’t deserve. Rafael sees something in her that no one else ever has—and he is determined to prove that true love has nothing to do with measurements, appearance, or status.
Amid the cruel whispers of the elite, the judgmental gazes of her own family, and the ghosts of deep-seated insecurities, Helena must face the greatest reckoning of her life: believing she deserves to be loved, exactly as she is.
