"He left before we even had a beginning, but the ending still hurt like we had everything." Genesis Ysabelle Villareal was the symbol of a fresh start... young, obedient, and chosen to marry Ethan Nathaniel Del Rosario in a union designed to merge empires, not hearts. It was a strategic move for both families' businesses. Genesis, the innocent beginning of a powerful alliance. Ethan, the cold and calculated ending to any resistance. But on the very night of their wedding, Ethan disappeared. No explanations. No goodbyes. Just a ring and a ruined beginning. For two years, Genesis lived in the shadows, married in name, but abandoned in truth. No love, no husband, only whispers of Ethan's affair with a powerful businesswoman and a looming divorce. Now, he's back. Genesis starts to question everything. His touch feels like a memory that never existed, his gaze burns with a fire that stirs feelings she's unfamiliar with. The man who vanished is now everywhere... watching her, haunting her, claiming her in the most unexpected ways. They say fire dies when left alone... But some flames don't fade. Some wait.
