Against the TidesUpdated at Jun 7, 2025, 07:14
Jade De Guzman spent years building a life of her own—independent, untouchable, and far from the chaos of her family's legacy. But when her estranged parents reunite and demand she return home, she is thrust into a world of wealth, power, and expectations.
And standing at the center of the storm is Elias De Guzman.
Her uncle. Young, reckless, and dangerously irresistible.
Elias is everything Jade has been warned about—arrogant, untamed, and a man who takes what he wants. They clash from the moment they meet, their arguments charged with a fire neither of them dares to name. He pushes her boundaries, taunts her, invades her space—until hate blurs into something else entirely.
Something forbidden. Something they can’t escape.
But love like theirs was never meant to survive. When their secret is exposed, the De Guzmans strike back with fury, tearing them apart by any means necessary—forced engagements, family betrayal, and the weight of an unforgivable sin. Jade is left drowning in the wreckage, believing Elias is lost to her forever.
Until he fights back.
Elias has never been one to surrender, and he won’t start now. Because against the tides of fate, against a family determined to erase them, he will do the unthinkable.
He will claim her.
No matter the cost.
