Kier and Violet had the kind of love people envied-fierce, passionate, and seemingly unbreakable. He was her calm, the one man she dared to trust with every cracked piece of her heart. But some betrayals run so deep they poison everything good. When Kier crosses a line Violet never thought he would, the perfect romance they built begins to crumble. What he did cut her in a way nothing else ever had. The man she loved became the one who broke her the most.

She was friendly-not too friendly, some would say. But who would've thought that her warmth would make her best friends with the youngest Municipal Mayor in the Philippines-all because of one unexpected accident? --- "𝘔𝘪𝘴𝘴. . . 𝘔𝘪𝘴𝘴! 𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘦?" His voice was panicked. Hands trembling. "𝘔𝘪𝘴𝘴?!" he called out again, louder this time. "𝘐'𝘮 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶. . . 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭." "𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘦. . . 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳. 𝘖𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴, 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦." "𝘔𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘬𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘢𝘯 𝘬𝘢. . . 𝘸𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘶𝘱 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘦." --- What if... the Mayor confesses his feelings, only to find out that she doesn't know how to receive it? She never had the kind of love that built a home. No foundation. No roots. Just survival. And if-just if-she learns how to love him back... Will the truth make them stronger? Or will it break them beyond repair?
