[VIOLENCE | TRIGGER WARNING | STRONG LANGUAGE]
Kerria, like the Japanese flower that symbolizes both strength and grace, and the lilac, representing first love-her name was a perfect reflection of who she was.
She gave her heart to Erazius Gomez, a man whose kindness, love, and support made her believe in forever. But, like the fleeting beauty of the lilac, their time together was short-lived.
When Erazius left, she began to wither. Her love for him ran so deep that she was ready to give up everything for him, yet he held firm in his decision to walk away. Though she never doubted her worth, his departure cast shadows of doubt on her soul.
Now, as they stand in the wake of their love, will they find the strength to heal and rebuild what was lost, or will they choose to go their separate ways, seeking healing in new beginnings?

Ethios Aniel "Ethan" Del Russo had it all: wealth, charm, and the freedom to live recklessly. As the spoiled heir to a powerful Filipino-Italian family, commitment wasn't part of his vocabulary. Then he met Reagina Anais at a college frat party-a fiery, sharp-tongued woman who slapped him over a misunderstanding before disappearing after one unforgettable night.
Five years later, Ethan's carefully controlled life shatters when he finds Reagina again, working as a stripper in an exclusive club. He knows he should stay away, but she's all he can think about. Beneath her defiant smile lies a secret she's desperate to keep-a child Ethan never knew existed.
