When love, life, and identity came crashing down, what used to be the fairytale coming true for AGATHA CHRISTIE CONCEPTION became the rotting apple blocking down her throat, killing her slowly through black and blue, but...then she met him. A stranger she didn't expect to meet that one FALL IN JULY.

After her mother died due to cancer, KIRSTEN ALEXIS TOLENTINO, immediately knew that from then on, she needed to grow up, maybe not physically but mentally, for her and her younger brother's sake. As the illegitimate children of a well-loved town mayor, Kirsten and her brother had lived a life under quiet scrutiny after it was revealed that their father who their mother had long kept a secret was no other than the married town's mayor making life even harder. But they weren't alone. As their mother's parents took them in, offering the warmth and care they needed desperately. With the help of her grandparents, she took on the responsibility of raising and guiding her brother the same way their mother did for her when she was still alive. It was her way of keeping their mother's presence alive. She became his anchor, his shield, and his quiet strength. She put his needs before her own, made strategic choices that would help make his life easier, and choose her academic path, all with her brother's future in mind. All she did for him until he returned the favor that led her to meet...him. Under his umbrella, BACK TO that one rainy day during DECEMBER.
