Scarred Souls, Unbroken Hearts

"When Shadows Collide"
Payu, a man shaped by the ruthless world of his mafia lineage, is unshakable in his values and fiercely protective of those he loves. One fateful day, he encounters Rain-a boy whose innocence masks the deep scars of trauma and a fractured mind. Despite the darkness in Rain's past, Payu finds himself drawn to the light within him.

Determined to win Rain's trust, Payu embarks on a heartfelt journey to court him, slowly breaking down Rain's walls. As their bond deepens, Rain experiences a sense of safety and care he hasn't felt in years. Yet, the weight of his hidden past looms over their growing love.

When Payu uncovers the truth about Rain's struggles and the secrets he harbors, their relationship faces its ultimate test. Will Payu's unwavering loyalty and love conquer the shadows of Rain's past, or will the differences between their worlds tear them apart?

A gripping tale of love, resilience, and redemption, "When Shadows Collide" explores the power of acceptance and the courage it takes to confront one's deepest fears.
