14 parts Ongoing Verna Tuazon never wanted a life filled with danger. She wanted a simple love, a safe home, and a family she could protect.
But she fell in love with Tomas Tuazon.
A man of power. A man of secrets. A man who built an empire on control, silence, and fear. To the world, Tomas is untouchable. To Verna, he is the same man who holds her hand when she's scared, who looks at her like she is the only soft thing left in his world.
Their marriage is not perfect. It never was.
It is filled with love, arguments, longing, misunderstandings, stolen moments, heavy silences, and words that are never said out loud. Verna loves Tomas, but loving him costs her peace. Tomas loves Verna, but he doesn't always know how to love her gently.
They raise their children in a world that is never truly safe. And every day, Verna grows more tired. More afraid. More lost.
Until one day, she chooses herself.
She disappears.
And Tomas finally understands what he has lost.
This is a story about a marriage that was never easy, but always real. About love that hurts, heals, breaks, and still refuses to die. About two people who keep choosing each other, even when they don't know how anymore.
Because some loves aren't soft.
They are surviving.
