🎖️ FULLY COMPLETED 🎖️ They trained to protect lives. They weren't trained to protect their hearts. Charlee Ivelle Perez crossed oceans to chase her dream of becoming a naval officer. The United States Academy of Naval Command was supposed to test her discipline, her strength, and her resolve-not her heart. Then she met Kenrick Van Sanchez. Disciplined. Respected. Untouchable. A man already bound by a promise to someone else. For Cha, it was love at first sight. For Ken, she was the one person who threatened everything he believed he owed to his future. But some battles can't be won through discipline alone. As friendship turns into something deeper, the line between loyalty and love begins to blur. Then one devastating misunderstanding shatters everything they had planned for their future and the life they never got the chance to build together. Years later, fate places them side by side once again-no longer midshipmen chasing dreams, but officers carrying the weight of everything they left unfinished. The love they buried has never truly disappeared. Neither has the pain. Now Ken must decide whether love deserves another chance... before the woman he never stopped loving walks away forever. Because sometimes love isn't enough the first time. Sometimes it takes losing everything to learn how to choose each other. ❤️ Tropes You'll Love • Slow Burn • Second Chance Romance • Military Romance • Protective Hero • He Fell Harder • She Fell First • Emotional Healing • Heavy Angst • Happy Ending ⚠️ Content Advisory This story contains mature themes, emotional trauma, military violence, grief, and a few chapters with mature sexual content.

Status: COMPLETED | Surrounded by people who always seemed sharper, quicker, more effortless than her, Amelie looked like the outcast who never quite fit in. And so, it was so easy for anyone to judge her. And maybe everyone was right. Because she's the daughter of Roberto who killed her best friend's parents. The daughter of a mistress. And the flirt who seduced the guy who once loved her best friend. But it was just as easy to misunderstand Yi-an for being perfect. Being the only son of the owners of the Lauzière Group, a global multi-industry empire. Calling him perfect is almost an understatement-he's brilliant, composed, and damn emotionally intelligent. But Amelie never chose her parents, and Yi-an never chose to be the only son of two powerhouse moguls. Amelie never wanted to be her father's pawn, and Yi-an was simply too good at hiding what he truly felt. They were just two broken people caught in the disaster of their family's greed, and two people who stood outside a tale they barely understood. It made sense to become each other's anchor-each other's comfort. Their decisions should've been easy, but some choices crack in all the wrong places, and some consequences fall on people who were never meant to be part of their problems to begin with. And so, Amelie and Yi-an were left to choose-between becoming the people their parents designed, or risking everything to become who they actually were. ___ Highest ranking: #4 Romance, #1 WattpadPhilippines
