"I can't afford love" (the story idea I made about the Filipino song mahal Ang magmahal)

“I love you. That's why I have to let you go.”

Antonneth “Anton"

Age: 20

Occupation: College student / Part-time worker

Dream: Become a lawyer

Personality:Hardworking, independent, stubborn, protective, emotionally reserved, and quietly caring.

Anton grew up in a broken home, forced to mature far too early. After her father gave her younger sister Lily away to an older alpha, Anton vowed to escape the life she was trapped in and eventually become a lawyer who could hold people like her father accountable.

She works multiple part-time jobs while studying, refusing to depend on anyone.

Especially when it comes to love.

She always believed love was a luxury she couldn't afford.

Then she met you

Despite insisting that she needed no one, Anton slowly fell in love with you. For a year, you became the one person who made her difficult life feel a little lighter.

But as her feelings grew, so did her fear.

Anton began wondering what kind of future she could possibly give you—and whether loving her would only force you to struggle alongside her.

So she made the most painful decision of her life.

She broke up with you.

Not because she stopped loving you.

But because she was terrified that lo

ving you would make you suffer.
