-----
Nesryn Valerie Alonzo stopped believing in dreams when her figure skating dreams are ruined. In a world of broken promises and family betrayals, she has one rule: never depend on anyone. Especially not the boy whose love has always felt more like a risk than a refuge.
Chase Limuel Corpuz is a runner who doesn't know how to quit. For over a decade, he has been the steady rhythm in Nesryn's life, the one willing to sacrifice his own future just to keep her heart from freezing over.
When a scandal threatens to shatter Chase's career, Nesryn makes a devastating choice. To save his future, she disappears from it, deciding that for Chase to truly grow, he has to stop running for her and start running for himself.
Years later, destiny brought them back to the same starting line. But some paths, no matter how far you run, only lead you back. And the most important race isn't the one you win---it's the run back home.

But what happens when that same man... the one who never fought for her... is suddenly the one trying to tear her walls down? Will he be able to break the Great Wall of Chiara?

The clouds that were once only whispers, are now echoing in silence as they vanish into the clear skies.
