"Do you just want to toy me around?" "Ju...You're too real for that" - She was the orphan girl no one wanted-except him. Raised in the quiet halls of an orphanage, she found comfort in the daily visits of the boy who seemed to care more than anyone else ever had. As the years passed and she turned eighteen, he begged his powerful family to let her move into their home-not as a sister, but something closer, something undefined. They lived side by side, not as siblings, not quite as lovers, caught in the tender space between. Her innocence kept her guarded. His desire, restrained. But while she clung to the safety of what-ifs, he sought shadows of her in other women. Until the truth shattered the illusion. When she finally learns what he's been hiding, she gives him one chance to prove he can be hers-for real. And this time, he won't let her go.
