ESCAPE SERIES #1
Everyone has time to enjoy life, to have fun, and to find the love of their life. But not everyone gets the chance to have all of it.
For more than a decade, Amaia Sahara Villarreal, a 21-year-old, has been busy chasing grocery sales, skipping meals, and pulling double shifts. She's too busy to enjoy life, too busy to be young-because for her, earning money always comes first.
She once dreamed of a normal teenage life. Simple lang. Masaya. Walang iniintinding responsibilidad.
But because of a car accident, everything changed.
She had to grow up early. To be independent. To be strong-not just for herself, but for her two younger sisters. For almost a decade, she became both a mother and a father figure to them.
Hindi niya ginusto ang responsibilidad. Hindi niya pinili ang ganitong buhay.
Pero kung hindi siya ang aako... who would step up for them?
Amaia always puts her sisters first. Lahat ng meron siya, para sa kanila. Lahat ng pagod niya, para sa kanila. She even had to pause school for almost two years because money was never enough.
Now, she believes that maybe...
The best things in life were never meant for her.
