Au-delà des Vagues Aya, une jeune ivoirienne de 22 ans, n’a plus rien à perdre quand elle embarque clandestinement pour l’Italie. Fuyant la pauvreté, un mariage forcé et les cicatrices d’un passé trop lourd, elle traverse l’Afrique du Nord et brave la mer Méditerranée. Le voyage est un cauchemar : violence, faim, peur constante. Mais elle survit. Et c’est déjà une victoire. Arrivée à Naples, sans papiers ni repères, elle erre entre foyers d’accueil et petits boulots précaires. Jusqu’au jour où son chemin croise celui de Salvatore Neri, un homme d’affaires aussi influent que mystérieux. Il a tout : l’argent, le pouvoir, une vie réglée au millimètre. Elle n’a rien… sauf son regard brûlant de vie. Contre toute attente, il l’aide. D’abord par pitié. Puis par fascination. Et très vite, par amour. Aya se méfie. Trop beau pour être vrai. Elle a trop souffert pour croire aux contes de fées. Mais Salvatore, lui aussi, cache ses propres blessures. Leur relation devient un refuge, un feu fragile qu’ils doivent protéger du monde extérieur… et de leurs propres démons. Entre les préjugés, les obstacles administratifs, les différences de classe et les fantômes du passé, leur amour tiendra-t-il ?

" Kapag nasa kakahuyan ka na, tumakbo ka lang. Huwag kang hihinto at higit sa lahat huwag kang lilingon." Ang nagbabadyang luha ni Estella ay tuluyan ng kumawala na sa kanyang mga mata nang bitawan ni Lucas ang mga salitang iyon. Pakiramdam niya mapupunit ang kanyang puso habang naiisip niyang hindi na niya ito makikita pa kailanman. Ito na ang huli at wala siyang magagawa. Hinaplos niya ang maamo nitong mukha. Kitang-kita niya ang lungkot at pait sa abuhin nitong mga mata.  " Ngunit paano ka?Natatakot ako sa gagawin nila sayo kapag nalaman nilang tinulungan mo akong makatakas. Ayokong mawala ka sakin, Lucas. Ayakong-" Hindi niya natapos ang sasabihin ng siniil siya ng binata ng matamis na halik. Ninamnam niya ang nitong labi. Tahimik niyang naipanalangin na hindi na matapos ang halik na iyon kahit na alam niyang impossible. " Mahal kita," anito at dinala kanyang mga kamay sa matipunong dibdib nito. Ramdam niya sa kaniyang palad ang ritmo ng pagtibok ng puso ng binata. "Makakalimutan ka man ng aking isip pero patuloy na titibok ang puso ko para sayo." " A-anong ibig mong sabihin?." Natigilan ang dalawa ng may marinig silang mga yabag mula sa di kalayuan. Umaalingawngaw di ang kanilang mga boses.   " Malapit na sila. Tumakbo ka na at iwan mo na ako dito. " " P-pero..." pagsusumamo ni Estella sa binata. " Lilituhin ko sila upang mabigyan ka ng oras na makatakas dito. Diretsuhin mo lang ang kakahuyan at igigiya ka nito sa pangpang kung nasaan naghihintay ang isang bangka. Gamitin mo iyon upang makatawid sa kabilang isla." Niyakap niya ang binata ng mahigpit  bago tuluyang tumakbo papunta sa madilim na kakahuyan. Tanging ang liwanag ng buwan ang nagpapaninag sa kanyang dinaraanan. Hindi siya tumigil kahit na narinig niya ang napagsigaw ni Lucas sa di kalayuan.
