IMPRISONED BY LOVE
A story of time, pain, healing... and the kind of love worth breaking for.
Avriellaine Constantino - a headstrong, passionate, and ambitious fourth-year Psychology student at Adamson University - never expected that her life would turn upside down when she crossed paths with Shaun David Arellano, a reserved and intimidating med student from a wealthy family. What started as mutual annoyance slowly unraveled into something deeper, something undeniable.
They fell - fast and hard. But love was never the only thing they needed. When career pressures, broken expectations, and disapproving parents began to crack their world, the very relationship that once made her feel whole started to imprison her. And just when she thought she could endure it all for love, Avi walked away, choosing herself for the first time.
Years passed. Avi returned from abroad, stronger, more mature - but haunted by memories she thought she'd buried. Unexpected encounters. Lingering feelings. A man who never stopped looking at her like she was his world... even when she no longer knew where she fit in his.
Now, as they face each other again - both changed, both hurting - Avi must ask herself:
Is loving him again worth the risk of breaking all over again?
"IMPRISONED by Love" is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, second-chance romance that explores not just love - but loss, growth, and the bravery it takes to choose yourself... and still believe in love anyway.
