Allezieh walked away from Draven, breaking his heart into a million pieces. It was the ultimate act of vengeance. Draven's mother was the homewrecker who destroyed Allezieh's family and drove her own mother to an early grave. Leaving Draven kneeling and begging on the pavement was supposed to be her triumph.

Mission accomplished. Revenge served.

But karma is a patient creditor, and it always collects its debts.

Unbeknownst to Allezieh, she was pregnant when she fled abroad. After a traumatic birth, her aunt cruelly led her to believe her baby girl had died. In reality, the child was sent straight to the biological father: Draven.

Now, five years later, Allezieh discovers the truth. Her daughter, Rayah, is alive. Desperate to reclaim her child, Allezieh rushes back to the Philippines, only to find a devastating reality waiting for her. Draven is cold, hardened, and engaged to another woman who has already taken the title of 'Mommy.' Worse, little Rayah looks at Allezieh not with love, but with pure terror.

Accused of abandonment, slapped with a restraining order, and pushed to the absolute brink of despair, Allezieh is forced to face the agonizing ghosts of her past. How do you fight for a child who runs away from you? How do you ask for forgiveness from the man you brokenly destroyed?

In a world where love is a luxury and revenge has a price, Allezieh must figure out how to survive the suffocating weight of her own choices-or drown in the debts of her past.
