🔞 SUITABLE FOR AGES 18+ 🔞
They call it El Cielo Alto, the high heaven of Manhattan. A world built on luxury the powerful can afford.
Vivian Valentin has everything a woman is supposed to want. Beauty that turns heads, a name that opens doors. Marco Valentin, a man who rules the city's elite like a king behind closed doors. To the world, she is his flawless queen: the picture of grace, devotion, and perfection.
But beneath the marble floors and diamond chandeliers lies rot. This was not built on love, but on secrets, old, dangerous, and buried deep beneath their marriage vows.
They say everyone has a story. Hers begins the night she stops pretending.
Because this isn't salvation, it's damnation dressed in silk. Desire can destroy faster than betrayal, the closer comes to a truth no one dares speak. Some sleep beside you every night. And some the kind you feel in your chest, the kind that make you human are the ones that can't be forgiven.
As Vivian's perfect world begins to crumble, she will uncover the truth about her husband and herself. And when the masks come off, she'll find herself standing in the ruins of the life she once worshipped.

As the son of a notoriously corrupt congressman, his future is set, his comfort guaranteed by money stolen from the very people his father swore to serve.

With only the cash in his pocket and a new identity, he journeys to the forgotten, mud scarred mountains of a remote province, the very community his family destroyed. There, among the victims of his family's crimes, he seeks a punishing penance, not in prayer, but in sweat, callouses, and the back breaking work of rebuilding what was lost.
