9 parts Ongoing Clara Claire Gracia Del Valle Alonzo Watson McGarry had once been the woman everyone envied-brilliant, graceful, and endlessly composed. A Summa Cum Laude from the University of Santo Tomas and one of the most accomplished staff members at King's Hotel, she was the very definition of perfection. But perfection can't hide pain forever. Beneath her flawless smile was a heart quietly crumbling, until one night, she decided to end it all.
Fate, however, had other plans.
Xavier Johnson Alejandro Ruiz y Montenegro Roxas-a Filipino-American newly transferred to King's Hotel as Vice President-never expected that his first night in Manila would change everything. He found her hanging between life and death, a stranger he couldn't forget, a woman whose name he would come to whisper like a prayer.
From that moment, Xavier became both her savior and her storm. As Clara learns to live again, Xavier becomes the only constant in her chaos-the man who challenges her silence, her fears, and the walls she built around her heart.
But saving Clara comes with a price. Because when two broken souls find each other, love doesn't heal easily-it burns, it scars, and it demands the kind of surrender that could destroy them both.
