A Filipina nurse working abroad in Italy finds herself in a dilemma after a sudden call from her younger brother. Mentally crushed yet determined, she makes a decision: Family first. But what happens when Isabella Reyes-a nurse who's already battling family responsibilities-finds herself entangled with something much more after a market shootout? Naples wasn't a safe place after all, and something in her gut tells her... She isn't either. ______ "If I keep you close, you'll become like me. If I let you go, they'll tear you apart.

Are an insufferable woman, Isabel." ______ WARNING: MATURE CONTENT, GRAPHIC VOILENCE, MATURE LANGUAGE AND SEXUAL SCENES. cover designed by @rechiii_ created - 6/2/25 completed -
