Even Petals Can Wilt (Petals in our Pockets Series #1 : Epistolary)

A petal begins bright--soft, open, reaching gently toward the light. But color fades when the weight of truth settles in. When the stem weakens. When warmth disappears. Even petals, no matter how carefully nurtured, can wilt.

Luxury Illich Vye Zhukova never wanted attention, only justice for her mother and for every woman who was fooled by that man. So she made an account, kept her identity hidden, posted the receipts and let the truth speak for itself while the world tore him apart. What she didn't know? That man had a son.

Dos Raegan Salizteo is a Filipino trainee, loved by millions, consistently ranking in the top 3 of a Korean survival show that's been airing for a while now and is set to debut a global boy group.

Then came the downfall. Once a fan favorite, failed to debut, his votes dropped, he ranked last and by the finale, he didn't make it. When the show ended, he flew back to the Philippines, confused and betrayed, unaware of the sins tied to his name.

Luxury thought it ended there, thought she could move on from her conscience, until the first day of classes, he showed up at her university. Now the boy she broke is closer than ever and the truth she buried is no longer safely hidden.

An epistolary.
