it all started in a beautiful and loving home-a home filled with laughter, love, and kindness. a place where everyone could rely on each other, where trust and warmth lived within the walls.
until that day came-the day everyone fears.
yvanille's mother cheated.
it began with betrayal and financial issues, the very things that can destroy any family or relationship. but despite everything her mother did, yvanille's father chose to forgive-not for himself, but for yvanille and her younger sister, anne.
they tried to start again, to rebuild what was broken. but before they could, yvanille's father passed away. and soon, another painful truth came to light-even after forgiveness, her mother continued to cheat while her father was suffering.
the once loving home was now shattered.
what was once filled with affection was now replaced by anger and pain.
and yvanille, as the eldest daughter, had no choice but to step up.
she carried the weight of responsibilities far beyond her years-a child forced to grow up too soon, burdened by circumstances she never chose.
will she survive all the pain and chaos life has thrown at her?
or will she finally break and give up everything she's been fighting for?
Kayleen thought love would protect her. Instead, it shattered her.
After uncovering the ultimate betrayal-the man she loved secretly building a family behind her back-Kayleen is left broken in a hospital bed, torn between the ruins of her past and the terrifying promise of a future without him. Healing isn't simple... not when love, lies, and lingering scars are tangled so tightly around her heart.
Just when she believes her world has ended, an unexpected figure from her past steps in-her uncle. A man she hasn't seen in over ten years suddenly becomes her lifeline, pulling her out of the darkness she thought she'd never escape. With his help, Kayleen begins to piece herself back together, slowly rediscovering the woman she once was... and the strength she thought she'd lost.
But her uncle's return isn't without a price.
One day, he comes to her-not to offer help, but to ask for it. His request? That Kayleen help a man she's never met. A stranger who has just awoken from a coma. A man deeply important to him... and someone who, like her, has been betrayed by the one he loved.
Two broken hearts.
One unexpected arrangement.
And a chance to turn their pain into something new.
