She doesn't remember the sun. Her world has always been four walls and a locked door. No windows. No choices. No voice. The only time she was allowed to leave was when her pain meant saving her sister-or when she'd been "good enough" to earn it. They took her words early on. Beat them out of her until silence became survival. Then one night, everything changed A break-in. A gunshot. A breath of air colder than she'd ever felt. And suddenly, she was alone-left by a riverbank like forgotten trash. That's where he found her. Cruel. Cold. Powerful. A man with blood on his hands and no space for weakness. The kind of man other men fear: a mafia boss with no room for broken things. But he took her in. He doesn't know her story. Doesn't ask why she flinches when he raises his voice or why she can't speak. But for reasons he can't explain, he tries to fix what the world destroyed. She's silent. He's ruthless. And somehow, they both understand each other. Because sometimes the most shattered souls speak the loudest without saying a word.

She just wanted to disappear in the noise of the city. Work. Sleep. Repeat. But a spilled coffee, a stare that froze time, and a voice she'll never forget... changed everything. He's powerful. Dangerous. The kind of man who doesn't ask - he claims. And now? He wants her. She doesn't know why. She doesn't know what it'll cost. All she knows... is that when he looks at her it feels like chains dressed in silk. "You stepped into my world, darling. There's no walking back."

She had a life in Los Angeles. He had a life in Tennessee. They weren't supposed to fit. But one impulsive decision turns into something neither of them can walk away from. What starts as a second chance becomes late nights in quiet kitchens, laughter echoing through open fields, and a little boy who changes everything. Somewhere along the way, love stops feeling temporary... and starts feeling like home.

in which, he shows her love in ways she'd never known. pedri x fem!oc

Love Thornton Despite her sunshine and rainbows name Love Thornton can easily be known as the craziest bitch on Kildare Island if you rub her the wrong way or are on any of her friends bad sides.
