What began as a chance to mend a broken heart during a two-month stay in the Philippines became something deeper-something neither of them could ignore. But in their efforts to protect Yorito's happiness, they buried their feelings and chose different paths. Now, as past choices come to light, Rianne's marriage is tested, and her world begins to unravel. Caught between guilt, love, and healing, she must find the strength to face her fears and redefine her relationships. With Isamu by her side once more, boundaries blur, old feelings resurface, and new understandings emerge. Will Rianne find peace within the chaos, or will the secrets of the past leave a lasting mark on their hearts...? © Zherenne 2024. All rights reserved.
