The Blueprints of Us

"I threw her away to save her. I just didn't realize that by giving her a future, I was completely destroying her present."

At nineteen, Ethan Santiago made a choice. He chose to be the villain. Faced with family debts, a dying mother, and a brutal ultimatum, he broke the heart of the only girl he ever loved. He told her she was becoming desperate. He told her she was small. He walked away in the pouring Katipunan rain, forcing her to fly to London to chase a grand future-even if it meant she would hate him forever.

Five years later, Ethan has it all. He is a successful architect in Makati, driving a luxury car, and owning a rising firm. But his empire tastes like ash.

When a multi-million BGC project lands on his desk, he comes face-to-face with the new lead architect-Clara Valdez. She is no longer the fragile girl who begged him to stay. She is cold, professional, and completely guarded.

Ethan thinks he can finally use his success to win her back and fix the past. But some ruins cannot be rebuilt. And hidden inside a dusty shoebox in an empty Cubao apartment is an unsent letter that contains a truth neither of them is ready to face.

A story about the right people at the absolute worst time, and the devastating cost of playing the hero.

"You didn't just leave-you became someone I have to remember instead of someone I get to have."
