Love's Return
"Love," they say, "sometimes needs another shot because it wasn't quite ready the first time."
Half a decade ago, like a hurricane's surprise visit, she knocked on her grandfather's door. Desperation painted her face as she begged for help to flee the country, and the reason was crystal clear—escape from a lover who had been breaking not just her heart, but their child's future too. Ririna had had enough, her unrequited love too costly to bear. She left to shield her child from the labyrinthine world of the underworld.
Eli, a man as shrewd as they come, had the world at his feet, what with being the heir apparent to the underworld and a master of corporations. He found his thrill in financial victories, stock market domination being his ultimate conquest. A childhood resolution dictated he would never kneel before a woman or follow his father's shadow. Or so he believed, until Ririna vanished, taking his heart along for the ride.
But lo and behold, the story twists again—she reenters the stage, determined to unravel the mysteries surrounding her mother's accidental demise.
For Eli, this is the opening he's waited for, a chance to weave her back into his life. Yet, danger and conspiracies dog their steps, enemies lurking in the shadows with nefarious plans. The tango between life and death plays on, and amidst it all, parenting seems an unwise endeavor. Eli decides to eliminate threats before embarking on family life with Ririna. Yet, in the grand tapestry of fate, a twist waits—a child he never knew existed now seeks his attention. Will this new connection be a chink in his armor, or the mighty force that guides them forward? Time will be the judge, weaving its own brand of suspense into this intricate tale.
