My breath hitched. His eyes-sharp, cold, merciless-scanned me like I was a puzzle that didn't fit. "You don't even know how to wear a bra?" he asked, his voice low, incredulous, and almost cruel. I didn't know what to say. I slowly nodded my head-no-because... I really didn't. No one ever taught me. No one cared to. I was standing there, shivering slightly, my fingers trembling, curling into the soft shawl I used to hide myself. His gaze was burning, stripping me down to my bare soul, and I couldn't meet his eyes. But his next words... or we can say actions... shocked me to the core. ----------------- Will he accept her as his wife? Will he destroy her for a decision she never made? Or will fate tie them together in ways neither imagined? 𐙚⋆°。⋆♡ A dark, intense love story of two broken souls bound by force, fear... and destiny.

Annie was ten years old when she first saw him. She did not understand, then, what she was looking at. Only that something in her recognised something in him - the way the ocean recognises the shore it has been carving for centuries without knowing why. He was a criminal. A mastermind. A man who wore two faces so seamlessly that even the world's most powerful institutions could not decide which one was real - or whether either of them was. Governments tried to hold him. They could not. Laws reached for him like hands through smoke. And yet - it was not law, nor power, nor the cold machinery of justice that came closest to him. It was a girl. Obsessed. Certain. Patient in the way that only those who have loved something unreachable can be patient. Nine years passed. The obsession did not diminish. It deepened - quietly, dangerously - the way roots grow in darkness, unseen, until one day the ground above them shifts. For Annie, the ocean was never merely water. It was a memory. It was him. She returned to it the way she returned to thoughts of him - compulsively, hungrily - because in its fathomless depths she recognised the same thing she saw in his eyes: so much still undiscovered. So much that might swallow her whole, and she would go willingly. He was a mystery she could never break. But God help her - she would spend a lifetime trying.
