I'm Here

A world-famous musician.

A trail of scandals.

A dearly departed loved one.

A life headed nowhere.

Many years ago, the name Joy Liron became well-known halfway across the globe. He was an internationally acclaimed teen idol, whose record-breaking hits sent millions of hearts aflutter. With his good looks, unique talents, and undeniable charm, Joy caused an ocean of giggling teenage girls to swoon at his feet.

But fame comes with a price.

Years later, as he continued to follow his path toward success, he left trails of scandals in his wake, ranging from nasty breakups to various forms of fiasco. His once promising career began to falter under the weight of his personal demons. And they only got worse after his second wife, Celestine, succumbed to a serious illness, causing him to lose his will to live and push through with his dreams.

An undertaker-in-training.

A once devoted fan.

An unexpected connection.

A light in the dark.

Within a few days after her arrival in Germany, Axel Rose Espinoza found herself hiding behind a dead tree, watching Joy Liron wallow in his despair at the gravesite of his late wife. She was the attending staff during the woman's wake, and would only find him in his most stoic and unapproachable demeanor until the interment.

She had long forgotten about her infatuation of him with the passage of time and shift in priorities, and her flying visit to the country was to pursue a potential profession, and not mainly because she wanted to reconnect with him.

But seeing him again after many years, in person, in pain, reignited a deep-seated fondness that made her decide to stay and break down his walls.

With Axel in his life, can Joy find a reason to live again, or is it just another rock bottom waiting to happen?
