Born into a life of endless sacrifices, Corrine Izel Guevarra learned early that survival leaves no room for weakness. Every day is a battle against exhaustion, humiliation, and the harsh realities of life-all for the sake of the family depending on her.
She has long accepted that her world will never be more than this: work, responsibility, and quiet suffering.
Until Estelle Karysn Tuazon enters her life.
Cold, untouchable, and far beyond Corrine's reach, Estelle becomes the very person who begins to disrupt the walls Corrine spent years building around herself. The more their paths intertwine, the more dangerous their connection becomes-blurring the line between restraint and desire, duty and longing.
But some waves are never meant to be chased without consequences.
And when feelings begin to surface between two people from completely different worlds, someone is bound to drown first.
"I spent my whole life believing people like you only existed to pass through mine for a moment. But the more I look at you, the more terrifying it becomes to realize I might want you to stay." - E.
