5 parts Ongoing Legitimate by blood, but never by love.
Eliara Vienne Roces was born with a name that should have meant everything. Wealth, security, and a father's love, but names are just words, and blood alone was never enough to claim a place in her father's world that had already turned back on her. While the man who should have been her protector showered his mistress' family with everything she wished for, Eliara and her mother were left to scrape by in the ruins of what could have been.
And then came Wade Evander Villafuerte, the golden boy who saw past the labels and the pain, recognizing something in her that others never did. He saw her strength, resilience, and beauty hidden beneath the layers of hardship. To him, she wasn't just a victim of circumstance, but she was someone worth loving and someone worth protecting.
But love is fragile, and in a world built on power and deception, even the purest affections can be poisoned. What happens when everything she has fought for begins to slip away and shatter. Will she find a way to hold on, or will she be left with nothing?
