Never Coming Back

Relisha Raeli Relante grew up in the shadow of her parents' success-a shadow so heavy it swallowed her own name. Abandoned at a young age, she learned early how to survive on her own, how to stand without anyone holding her steady.

Along the way, she met Emmanuel-a man who didn't try to fix her, but stayed long enough for her to face herself. With him, Relisha learned to confront her insecurities, to understand her fractured identity, and to believe that she could be more than the absence she came from.

And she was.

When she finally reached the life she once only dreamed of-recognition, success, power-she did what she had always known how to do best. She walked away.

Now, with everything in her hands and no one left beside her, Relisha is forced to confront the truth she kept running from: sometimes, achieving everything means losing the parts of yourself that made it worth chasing.
