THE SETTLEMENT SERIES #2
"The pregnancy was a stark reminder of how he'd reduced me to a mere toy, a temporary comfort for his bed, nothing more."
When Aiko turns eighteen, her world shattered after a one night with a man and turns out that she is her cousin's boyfriend. Pregnant, rejected and abandoned, Aiko chose to disappear for her child sake. She vanished into shadows carrying the weight of silence and hide from certain people, that they failed to see.
Axel never meant to hurt her. In a world where people is everything, Axel was surrounded by enemies and desperate to shield her, he pushed her away with cruel words to keep them safe and away from danger. Years later, with power finally in his hand, he began to hunt them, not just for the pain he caused but for the forgiveness he knows he may never deserve.
In a game of hide and seek, he chased her shadows. She carries his light and hide.
