She loved deeply, even when it broke her. She stayed, even when everyone else left. And when the world turned its back on her, she rose alone. Yvaelrin grew up believing that love-real love-meant sacrifice. That maybe, just maybe, if she gave enough, she'd finally be enough for her family. But no amount of kindness could protect her from their words, their silence, or the way they always made her feel like a burden. The only place she ever truly felt safe was in the arms of her grandmother, her Nainai-the one person who saw her, loved her, and stayed. Until she didn't. And just when Yvaelrin thought she'd found her second home in the arms of the boy she loved, the truth shattered her all over again: the two people she trusted most were never really hers. Left with nothing but grief, betrayal, and broken pieces, she had two choices-let the pain destroy her, or let it mold her into someone unbreakable. Even If It Hurts.
