He hated them - not for who they were, but for what they reminded him of. Every word, every glance, every breath carried echoes of his father's betrayal, the same betrayal that broke his mother and turned him into a man who trusted no one. For years, he kept them at a distance, content to pay for their future but never let them near his life.
But one day, everything changes. Circumstances force them into his home - three strangers bound by blood he never asked to share. And as walls crack and old wounds resurface, one question remains: will he ever learn to see them as family, or will they always carry the burden of his hatred?
