She could never love me. So I remain- hidden in silence, waiting in shadows, watching her light from a distance, loving her in the quiet where she'll never see.

She was the flame that saved her. She was the crown that let her go. Kai Montinola, is fire in human form-scarred by tragedy, silenced by abuse, and forged by survival. After losing her younger sister in a drowning accident she could do nothing to prevent, Kai's world unraveled. Her family shattered, and she was taken by her father to Manila, where her life spiraled deeper into darkness. For years, she endured mental, physical, and emotional torment-until she fought back. Rain Celmar, The Queen in everyone's eyes, is the golden girl of Northford-graceful, brilliant, and seemingly untouchable. But behind the crown lies her own private ache: expectations too heavy to carry, a family built on appearances, and a heart that's quietly searching for something real. When their paths cross, what begins as quiet concern blooms into something neither of them expected-a deep, soul-baring connection. Together, they find solace, laughter, and the possibility of healing in each other's arms. But freedom comes at a cost.

Kai thought she could outrun her problems by faking her own death. She believed the fresh start she was chasing would be her redemption. But as she sails toward the unknown, a chance meeting with a stranger forces her to confront something she didn't expect: HERSELF. Is she really escaping-or just burying the last bit of her naive hope? And when the life she left behind catches up with her, will she still believe in the dream of freedom, or has the death of her hopeful moron self already sealed her fate? The real question is: Was she ever ready for the truth?
