We often underestimate the power of three things : The stars The ocean And love. Grief pulls us into the depths of despair. Our existence becomes a torture drowning us in darkness, which, we have created for ourselves. In the midst of this anguish, when we're on the verge of being called crazy, a sliver of hope is all that we need, to keep us going. A sliver of hope to be loved, cared and understood. A hand to use as a crutch and learn to love again. With secrets of his own Maaz holds Zara's hand with the intention to capture her heart with his ardent love. To be the crutch she is looking for, to break down the walls she has built around herself and to revive her to the girl she was, who he once knew.

His burns tell a story, one Julius Talbot is unable to remember. When Julius Talbot wakes up with his memory gone and his face scarred, he is left with no other choice but to believe the story he is told; he is Earl Talbot, heir to the Talbot fortune with a home in Italy and a shipping business. He must also take on a new identity, one that comes with his burns; the beast of Italy. But as the years go by, memories of a past he is unable to remember begin to haunt him with visions of a past nobody dared to tell him about. ...... All rights reserved.
