Aguilar de la Frontera Series #5: CHASE

#ADLFSFifthInstallment

General Valerian Ignacio Chase Aguilar de la Frontera, a decorated veteran of the Marawi Siege and now a formidable presidential candidate, commands respect and admiration. He's a man of principles, his heart hardened by years of service and loss. His campaign manager, the poised and intelligent Shaira Ysabella Billones , is his right hand, her loyalty unquestioned. But beneath her polished exterior burns a quiet fury. Years ago, during the Siege, she witnessed the brutal death of her mother, a woman who was once promised to General Chase's father, and it ended badly. Really badly.

Now she's playing the long game, using him to get what she wants. Revenge. Big time.

The Aguilar de la Frontera family? Rich, clueless, oblivious to the whole thing. Bella's gotta be careful. She's walking a tightrope, pretending to be loyal while plotting their downfall.

But things get weird. Spending time with him... there's something. A connection. The general, this tough guy, he sees past her act. He sees the hurt. And Bella? She starts questioning herself. Her plan... maybe it's not so clear anymore.

So, will she get her revenge? Or will this whole thing... change everything? Their past? It's a ticking time bomb. Will it blow them apart, or bring them together?
