When The Lullaby Ends

Blurb

"We started out great.
We sealed our love with a kiss.

How did we end up this way?

We took an oath to protect our tomorrow.
But I never thought it'd end up as our broken vows of yesterday.

Suddenly, my lullabies lost their meaning.
And we never heard it once again."

Perhaps it's beautiful cuz it's forbidden. Or maybe, it's forbidden cuz it's beautiful.

Elara Rachelle Martin almost had everything. She was a beauty and the brain was what they used to refer to her. An A+ student who already had everything planned in her life ahead of her. Fall in love, a bright future as one of the best surgeons in the country, and live somewhere where she could be happy... Where there was no pressure from her parents.

She thought she was going to walk to the future with the man she'd only ever known to love. Maybe she did. But it was only short-lived.

Hidden beyond griefs, hatred, self-loathing, and pain, was a love that was once so beautiful that turned their lives upside down.

It was love. But with permanent loss, it became the reason why they ceased to sing their favorite lullaby.

But can their love finally learn to conquer decades of family feud? Or are they just going to choose to love from afar while carrying the pain that made them destroy each other?
