Fourteen-year-old Irma lives a quiet life with her single mother, Mary, in the heart of Paris. She's brilliant, independent, and a passionate young writer-but beneath her poised exterior lies a growing emptiness. She's never known who her father is. And no matter how many times she asks, her mother always hides behind silence and a sad smile. Everything changes the morning Irma presses her mother for the truth-and uncovers a secret that shatters her world. Her father isn't just anyone... he's Kingsley Imperial, a powerful billionaire and the face of Forbes. Worse, he's the father of Gerald, the one boy Irma has secretly admired for years. Yes, her long-time crush is her half-brother. As Irma spirals between rage, betrayal, and heartbreak, her mother opens the door to a past buried in pain: a failed marriage, a scandalous betrayal, and a man named Hector-Kingsley's ex-best friend who framed Mary, stole her peace, and left her with a baby and a broken reputation. But Hector isn't done yet. After years behind bars, Hector returns, armed with secrets, threats, and one terrifying goal: to claim Gerald, the child born from an affair with Lily, Kingsley's current wife. Lily has been hiding this too-a perfect marriage built on lies. Now, secrets are bleeding into the open, and nothing will ever be the same. Irma must face the harsh truth about her family, her identity, and a cruel twist of fate that binds her to a boy she can never have. Will she find the strength to rise above the past? Or will love, lies, and legacy pull them all into ruin?

They called her a curse. Born into poverty and loathed by her parents, Glenn was told she was the reason for her family's misery. The only light in her world was her younger sister, Janella, and the intricate bead jewelry they shared. To save herself and to break the "curse" Glenn makes the ultimate sacrifice: she runs away into the night, leaving Janella behind with nothing but a pink, heart-shaped necklace and a broken promise. Eight years later, Glenn is gone. In her place stands Aurora Grande , the billionaire CEO of a New York jewelry empire and a Harvard graduate. She has the fame, the wealth, and the power she always dreamed of, but the shadows of the village still haunt her. When a talented new designer applies for a job at Aurora's firm, the past and present collide. Janella has come to the city to find her sister but she doesn't realize she's walking into the office of the woman she's been searching for. Can love mend the beads of a broken past, or has the "curse" finally caught up to them? "From heartbreak in a village to power in New York... can a sister's love undo a lifetime of pain?"
