She knows words no child should know. Feels pain no child should carry. Raised in the shadow of an abusive, alcoholic father, Ellie learns early that home is not a place of safety-it is something to escape. So she runs. Across the city, Antonio Smith has built an empire on ambition alone. A ruthless, emotionally distant CEO with a multi‑billion‑dollar business stretching across continents, Antonio has never had room for weakness-especially not his own. His life is calculated, controlled, and cold. Until a chance encounter stops him in his tracks. A small, broken girl with eyes far too old for her age captures the attention of a man who has never cared for anyone but himself. What begins as curiosity quickly becomes something neither of them is prepared for. As Ellie navigates trauma, fear, and emotions she doesn't yet understand, Antonio is forced to confront a role he never wanted-and may not be capable of fulfilling. Can a man who buried his heart beneath power and money learn to be there for a child who needs more than protection?
And can Ellie learn to trust when the world has only taught her to survive? Witness a journey of pain, healing, and unexpected connection-where two broken lives collide and change forever COVER DESIGN BY ME PSA: WRITTEN WHEN I WAS 13/14
