Angelique Vasquez has spent her entire life feeling like an outsider in her own home. Isang estranghero sa sarili niyang pamilya-hindi sapat, hindi kailanman magiging sapat. She is the child of her mother from another man, a reminder of a past mistake her father refuses to forget. Kahit anong pilit niyang patunayan ang sarili, she remains the unwanted piece in a perfect family portrait, a shadow lingering at the edges of their picture-perfect lives. The love she craves is always just out of reach, slipping through her fingers no matter how tightly she holds on.
Music is her only escape. Sa bawat dampi ng kanyang daliri sa violin, she lets the notes speak for her-expressing the grief, longing, and quiet defiance she keeps buried. The world may not see her, may not want her, but in music, she exists. In music, she is free.
Then, she met him.
Caden Lawrence Rivera was never meant to inherit his family's empire. Like her, he is an outsider-an unwanted presence in a life dictated by expectations. But where Angelique finds refuge in music, Caden drowns in the weight of a legacy that does not belong to him. Two lost souls, carrying wounds only they can understand.
Yet even in brokenness, they find something beautiful.
A story of love, identity, and the courage to reclaim one's life, finding harmony in chaos and learning that even in the echoes of pain, there is still music to be heard. 🎻✨
Consunji Legacy # 41
Best friends.
That's what Lucrezia and Ysrael were. Through every chapter of Rael's life-from joyful celebrations to the darkest nights-Lu was always there. Quietly supporting him, always ready to listen, to comfort, or simply to stay by his side. She was the constant presence in the background, watching from the sidelines, silently hoping that one day, Rael would find the happiness he truly deserved.
But what happens when a single moment threatens to change everything between them?
What if Lucrezia suddenly finds herself in a situation that demands more than quiet loyalty-one that asks her to speak her truth, even if it means risking the friendship they've built?
Can she finally tell Rael everything she's been holding back for so long?
Will they remain best friends-or will they become strangers once again?
