Love Series #1
Athena Chinsy Salvador and Shan Xavier Cortez were once inseparable-two young souls who found love in the most unexpected way. Their bond was deep, passionate, and full of dreams, but as time passed, the weight of misunderstandings and personal struggles tore them apart. Their breakup shattered both of them.
Devastated, Athena left the Philippines and sought refuge in a foreign land. There, she began to heal, rebuild her identity, and rediscover her strength. Shan remained in the Philippines, haunted by memories and the ghost of the love he lost. He tried to move on, but something always felt incomplete-like a chapter left unfinished
Five years passed, and the girl who once loved too deeply returned as a woman transformed-successful, confident, and guarded.
She's changed-stronger, wiser, and carrying stories of her own. But her return stirs everything Shan thought he had buried. As their paths cross again, long-buried emotions resurface, and secrets from the past threaten to rewrite everything they believed about their love. And a revelation that will haunt Shan forever.
Can two people, once broken by love, find their way back to each other? Or are some endings meant to stay that way?
