Serenity Within Clouds (Haven Series #1)

From a young age, Zariah Loreen Salvacion, or Xian Fei, was certain her future lay in leading her family's business with her brother. But an unexpected event left her feeling lost and disconnected from the passions that once defined her. Despite her calm exterior, she often felt like the overcast clouds-heavy with unspoken emotions. During this time, Marco noticed something: like the clouds, Zariah shed tears when burdened, releasing her emotions like rain. Yet, even amid her storm of feelings, he saw a quiet peace within her-like a single cloud floating serenely through the chaos.

To Marco, Zariah was like the clouds themselves-beautiful yet distant, ever-changing but grounded in her own way. Her emotions ebbed and flowed, much like the shifting sky, but there was always a sense of calm beneath it all. He admired how she could maintain her serenity even in the midst of her inner storms, much like a solitary cloud drifting peacefully through a tempest. Marco began to see that, just as clouds can offer moments of stillness within the chaos, Zariah too had the ability to find serenity, even when the world around her was in turmoil.
