When the Shadow Fell in Love

Akari Kenley Cortez grew up in a house that called itself a family - but never felt like one. While her twin sister, Akira, shone brightly in everyone's eyes, Akari lived in the shadows - bruised, silenced, and forgotten. Sa bawat sigaw ni Papa at malamig na tingin ni Mama, natutunan niyang manahimik at magtago sa dilim.

For years, she believed she was never meant to be chosen. Never meant to be loved.
Until someone saw her.

A man who didn't see her as a shadow - but as someone real. Someone worth loving.

Pero sa mundong sanay siyang wala sa kanya ang pabor, kaya ba niyang paniwalaan na may taong pipili sa kanya sa wakas? O baka naman, tulad ng lahat ng kwento niya, matatapos din ito sa sakit?

This is not a fairytale.

It's the story of a girl who learned to love - after being unloved her whole life. And sometimes, the bravest thing a shadow can do... is step into the light.
