The great wall of China love story as they call it. Avery Sienna Zobel has always been everything she was expected to be-brilliant, accomplished, and obedient to a life already planned for her. Love was never meant to complicate it. Until she met him. He is powerful, untouchable, and bound by traditions that say love should stay within the Great Wall. A man already promised to another-someone Avery never thought she would be forced to compete with. When families intervene, they do not come quietly. Warnings turn into pressure. Pressure turns into fear. The people around her begin to suffer for choices she never meant to make. Friendships are used against her, doors close one by one, and the life she worked so hard for starts to crumble-along with her confidence, her future, and her place in a world that was never truly hers. Suffocated and cornered, Avery was left with choices: stay and be broken, or leave and become nothing. So she leaves. She walks away from her surname, her privilege, and the man she loves-choosing to build a life where she must survive without protection, without certainty, and without him. But some love does not fade with distance. Some wounds refuse to heal. Some stories, no matter how far you run from them, remain- ever the same. Disclaimer: This story is written in Taglish, a combination of Tagalog & English.

In a place far from home, they become each other's quiet refuge, finding comfort in shared wounds and unspoken understanding. But love is never simple. He holds back out of loyalty for their family. Lia hesitates out of fear of breaking what should not be broken. Now, caught between healing and heartbreak, Lia must choose: Is love something you protect by letting go-or something you risk everything for? Can she free fall in to love when the man behind her granted prayers is her bestfriend's cousin?
