The Cost Of Choosing Him

"Ipinusta ako ng sarili kong ina sa lamesa ng sugal."

Creayan Sohana Madrigal's life was never hers to begin with. Born into a life of debt, she was treated like a pawn-literally. When her mother's gambling addiction reached its peak, Creayan became the ultimate price. But she refused to be the victim of a life she never chose. She ran. She escaped the shadows of her past, only to find herself lost in the cold, dark streets of the city.

Then came Ford Maverick Anderson.

Cold, powerful, and intimidating, Ford wasn't looking for a damsel in distress. But fate had other plans. Four times, their worlds collided. Four times, he became her shield.

Ford is a man who plays by his own rules, and Creayan is the only variable he can't control. As he watches her transform from a fragile girl into a woman of substance, the lines between protector and lover begin to blur.

But choosing to love him comes with a price. Between the echoes of Creayan's trauma and the dangerous world Ford inhabits, their bond is tested by secrets, jealousy, and a past that refuses to stay buried.

Can a man who has everything find peace in a woman who was once sold for nothing? Or will she realize that the greatest challenge wasn't escaping her past, but surviving The Cost of Choosing Him?
