Maria Elizabeth Martinez (Ellie) does not have a golden spoon in her mouth. She was raised in a family where everyone expected her to fulfill roles she hadn't even imagined for herself. She was frequently disregarded, and they gave her the impression that she was a sort of dust carried by the wind, unnecessary.
Her mind was almost clouded by that thought of her. Hanggang gano'n nalang ba talaga? Kailan kaya darating ang panahon na makikita siya bilang siya? Hindi bilang sa kung ano ang i-dinidikta sa kanya.
Not until she met Nazareth Fuentes (Naz), the son of the owner of the elite school she attends.
Being admired by everyone, especially the girls in every corner of the campus, Nazareth was used to being in the spotlight. But he falls head over heels for the girl with the most angelic face he ever saw, Ellie.
Things went as smoothly as they wanted. They loved each other genuinely, but cliche as it may sound, things became blurry for them. Just as a beautiful sunrise gives a promise of a new, beautiful beginning, a sunset is a reminder of the end of something.
Masakit isipin na ang magandang simula ay mauuwi sa hindi inaasahang katapusan.
Will they continue to hope that what they had could be back from the start like it used to be? Or will they chase every sunset, not wanting the day to end and tomorrow to come because they are afraid that the past cannot be brought back like their hearts long for?

She represents your family, and the choices you make now will affect our reputation for years to come." (Elise) As Maria secures a scholarship to a prestigious boarding school, she hopes to escape her troubled home life, only to find herself confronting insecurities and emotional scars that threaten to pull her away from Jacob.

Just a mistake." Years later, fate intervenes as they cross paths again, but this time, Jacob's heart has hardened, twisted by anger and betrayal. He seeks revenge, subjecting Maria to the very humiliation she fought to escape. With each encounter, the weight of their shared history hangs heavily in the air, as both characters are forced to confront their choices, their love, and the haunting question of whether redemption is possible. "Jacob!" she spat, stepping forward, fists clenched at her sides. "You think you can just walk back into my life, buy me like I'm some kind of object, and I'll just-what? Smile and thank you?" (Maria) Bound by shadows is a poignant exploration of love, sacrifice, and the scars that linger long after the choices are made. It delves into the complexities of relationships, the struggle for self-worth, and the enduring hope for a brighter future, even in the face of overwhelming darkness.Complete

I hadn't been used to falling in a while. "You need to relax." He said looking me up and down. My jaw clenched. "Oh, so I'm the problem?" I crossed my arms. "You can't even lift me."

His finger trailed up my thigh ever so gently causing my pussy complete torture. He knew what he was doing. He knew this was driving me completely crazy. Just as his fingers were trying to push past my underwear my hand grabbed onto his wrist. "Don't," I warned, in a low voice making sure nobody would notice. "Watch me fuck you in front of every single person here unless Tobias stops looking at you like that." He explained. I glanced over to Tobias who was looking angrier than ever. If Tobias didn't stop looking at me not only would my husband keep to his word, someone would send a bullet through his skull. *+*+* Scarlett Salvadore was to be married to a man she hated with all her heart to increase her father's power.
