After her father's tragic death in a political ambush, Ma. Isabel Melendez swore never to step into the world that destroyed her family. She hides behind books and theories, keeping her distance from the spotlight-and from people. But when her professor pairs her with Lior Alistair Bermudez, the charismatic campus president from the Engineering Department, silence meets chaos in a collision neither of them expected.
He's everything she avoids-brilliant, composed, admired by everyone. Yet behind his steady confidence is a quiet depth that mirrors her own loneliness.
Together, they're assigned to a project that forces their worlds to intertwine-politics and logic, heart and reason.
As they debate ideals, share fragments of their pasts, and navigate the unspoken tension between them, Isabel begins to realize that healing doesn't always come with answers. Sometimes, it comes with questions-and someone brave enough to stay through the silence.
A story about grief, conviction, and the quiet kind of love that speaks the loudest
