📖 The Price of Promise – Synopsis
For four long years, Daniel has carried his degree like a burden, searching for a job in a world that has shut its doors against him. With every rejection, his hope withers, and so does his pride. Ada, his devoted girlfriend, watches helplessly as the man she loves sinks deeper into despair.
When a rare opportunity opens at one of the city’s most powerful firms, Ada sees a lifeline for Daniel’s future. But the lifeline comes with a price — a price that demands more than she ever imagined. To secure Daniel’s job, Ada makes a heartbreaking sacrifice she vows never to confess.
At first, her silence feels bearable. Daniel blossoms in his new role, filled with gratitude and joy, while Ada hides her pain behind fragile smiles. But when the truth slips into the open, their love is thrust into a storm of betrayal, anger, and shattered trust.
Was Ada’s sacrifice an act of love or the deepest betrayal? Can Daniel forgive the woman who gave everything for him, or will the cost of her promise destroy them both?
The Price of Promise is a raw and emotional tale of love, sacrifice, and the devastating choices made in the shadows of poverty — where even the purest intentions can carry unbearable consequences.
