PROLOGUE
277 Words
What if the man you love… is the same guy who's been missing in the case you're studying?
Would you still choose to love him? Or walk away from a love built on mystery and pain?
Maxine Sky Martinez — one of the prettiest and smartest students in her batch. She always dreamed of becoming a prosecutor. Strong, driven, and full of potential. But behind all the praises and perfect image… she hides a secret.
A secret relationship.
With someone who never wanted to be seen with her in public.
Someone who asked for silence — and she gave it.
Still, Maxine chose to love him anyway.
Quietly.
Completely.
It all began during her Grade 12 days.
One quiet night at her favorite spot by the beach, she met him.
KJ Axe Hernandez..Handsome, charming, and kind .
“Don’t fall for me too hard, Max,” he said, smiling at her under the moonlight. “Too late,” she whispered, “I already did.”
Their love grew in secret, lasting even as Maxine stepped into college , chasing her dreams of justice, of truth. But just when everything seemed right… she stumbled upon a case.
A case involving a man who had mysteriously disappeared years ago.
And as she digs deeper, she realizes…
It’s him. It’s KJ.
“This can’t be,” Maxine said, her voice shaking as she stared at the report.
“No body found. Last seen... at the same beach where we first met.”
“KJ... what really happened to you?”
Will their love survive the truth?
Or will it vanish, just like KJ’s name in that cold, forgotten case file?
