HIGH SCHOOL SERIES #4 [SOON]
Started:
End:
The world has never been kind to Dianna Jeann Villanueva. Every day, every night, it whispers that she is too much, too little, or irreparably broken.
To everyone else, she is the girl who laughs, the girl who shines, the girl who seems untouchable. But behind the smiles and the bravado lies a storm-a past that haunts every heartbeat, pain that has taught her to guard every fragment of herself.
Life has been cruel, unforgiving, and unrelenting. The people who were meant to protect her often hurt her the most. Every kindness met betrayal. Every smile became a shield.
She learned to hate fiercely, especially those who should have understood her. Every laugh, every casual glance, every word hides a storm inside-a storm born from a past no one should endure.
Yet she survives. She moves forward. Walls rise around her heart, built to protect what little trust remains. Her scars are deep, but her pulse still beats, quietly craving understanding, justice, or a mercy she has rarely known.
Then comes Vael Kaelix Hawthorne. He sees parts of her no one else does, stirs feelings she long thought buried, and makes the world feel a little less heavy-if only for a moment. Yet closeness is dangerous, love is fragile, and some hearts are never meant to stay together.
Dianna Jeann Villanueva will keep surviving.
She will keep smiling.
She will keep moving forward.
But in the quiet, she knows the truth: Some words, like hearts, are never meant to stay-and some stories are written to fade before they're heard.
