BOUND TO FALL

Snow Saldevadar had always preferred silence.

Far from the noise of the city. she chose the quiet comfort of their sprawling hacienda in Nasugbu.Days spent in the library, afternoons wandering familiar paths, and evenings wrapped in the kind of solitude she had long grown used to.

Peace had always been enough.

Until someone unfamiliar stepped into it.

A stranger.

A man with sharp eyes, colder words, and an attitude irritating enough to leave a bad impression the moment they met.

Their encounter should have been forgettable.

Just another unpleasant moment she could easily brush aside.

But somehow.

he lingers.

In her thoughts.

In strange conversations that abruptly stop whenever she enters the room.

In secrets that the people around her unwilling to explain.

And in the unsettling feeling that something inside the hacienda has quietly begun to change.

The more Snow insists she doesn't care

the more questions begin piling up.

Why did his presence affect her that much?

Why did everyone suddenly seem to know something she didn't?

And why did the same person she found unbearable become impossible to ignore?

Because sometimes, the peopole who disturb your peace are the same people capable of changing everything you thought you wanted.

And perhaps....

without realizing it....

She was already bound to fall.
