What We Found In The End

For someone who fought her way to leave the house that had never felt like home, Raiya Villarmente is back in her hometown. The very same place that reminds her what kind of family she belonged to, the one that its own name speaks power and influence in more ways than one. To other people, she appeared to have it all, beauty, riches, and the constant spotlight of attention. But beneath the surface, things were far more complicated.

Claudia Quillano was kind-hearted, effortlessly talented, and carried herself with the ease of someone who saw the world as full of possibility. With one act of betrayal, the future she was meant to have vanished into thin air. That girl is gone now. In her place stood a woman who built her walls-tall, heavy, and impossible to climb. Not because she wants to shut the world out, but because it's the only way she knows how to feel safe.

They were never meant to trust each other-let alone care.

One is clawing her way out of a life that's kept her small and silent. The other hides behind walls she swore would never come down again. When their worlds collide, it's anything but smooth. But somewhere between the arguments and the uneasy silences, something unexpected begins to grow-an alliance, a bond, maybe even something more. Just as they start to believe they might be safe with each other, the past returns-louder, darker, and more dangerous than before. And it's not coming back quietly.
