PUBLISHED UNDER LIB Note: If you're not into flawed characters who make wrong decisions, don't read this. Save yourself from stress. Started: 10/07/2020 Ended: 11/18/2020 Elora Chin Valencia grew up in a toxic Christian family where she was viewed as the black sheep. Araw-araw ay ipinaparamdam sa kanya ng mundo na wala siyang lugar sa sarili niyang tahanan. She was a consistent dean's lister and an obedient daughter, which left her wondering what she had done so wrong to be disregarded as a speck of dust in the wind. They made her feel like she was just dirt, filling up the empty space. The one who would never have her own safe place. Feeling all of this contributed to her endless suicidal ideations. Baka nga tama sila. Baka nga wala siyang halaga at kailanman ay hindi na sasaya. She almost believed that. She almost held onto that notion. Not until she met the man in his BS Civil Engineering uniform and gorgeous grin, Troy Jefferson Dela Paz. He kissed her forehead, and her loud thoughts were silenced. Her demons calmed down. Her foes were defeated. For the first time in her life, she had proven her family wrong---a happy Elora Chin was possible. She was loved and well-taken care of. Troy embraced her sharp parts, not minding the wounds he might get. But fate had a lot of cruel things in store for her. Because when she thought she had reached the peak of happiness, she found myself drowning alone in the ocean she now called home, alone in her shame, alone with the waves she couldn't tame.

Anya Tejero was forced to return to a place she chose to forget for years, a remote town where her grandparents' old farm was located. Ten years ago, she committed the most stupid and impulsive decision in her life. She secretly married Lander Rafael Valera, a farm owner's grandson whom she only dated for two months. Blinded by her first love, she dreamed of living with him forever. But her fantasies were shattered into pieces when she caught him cheating on her on their honeymoon night. After a decade, she had to find him again because of the annulment she neglected to process for the longest time. She wanted to revoke her married status before leaving to France where she was planning to settle for good. However, Lander wouldn't sign the papers so easily. He had too many conditions and demands. She needed to put up with his stubbornness and continuous ego tripping. Never in her wildest dream that the period she amounted to erase her bad past would actually result in falling in love to her estranged husband all over again.

But little did she know, like the sun she adored, she was destined to be alone.
