36 parts Ongoing Clemente Series #2 - December (ONGOING)
Family and studies-those were the twin pillars of December's life. She thrived in discipline and dreamed of a future she would build with her own hands. Love, however, had other plans. It bloomed unexpectedly, fragile and radiant, like the garden she longed for.
But whispers trailed her steps. Some said her success was only because of her family's wealth, her beauty, or her name. December chose silence, channelling her fire into ambition. Until heartbreak struck. Thorns tore through her dreams, scattering her plans into pieces.
Now, returning with walls around her heart, December must face the choices she once left behind. Will she let her guard down again, or stay hidden behind the walls she built?
Who will walk beside her to the end of the trail-and who will turn their back when the climb grows steep?
Who will find their way back to December?
