She was the unwanted child-ignored, unloved, and invisible in her own home. A girl who had never felt the warmth of a mother's hug or the safety of a father's care. Raised in a family that never wanted her, her heart grew quiet, but never cold. He was a man wrapped in power and shadows-a ruthless businessman, a feared mafia king. Love? To him, it was nothing but a weakness, a lie. When her sister ran away on the day of her wedding, her parents made a cruel choice-force her into the marriage instead. Now, she's bound to a man who doesn't believe in love, and he's tied to a girl whose life has known nothing but heartbreak. But in the middle of darkness, sometimes the most unexpected spark can set a fire. Can two broken souls who never knew love, teach each other what it really means? Disclaimer © All rights reserved.

** "You're hurt," she murmured. Her tone softened, worry slipping through the fear. Before I could stop her, she stepped closer and gently lifted the hem of my shirt. Her breath hitched. The bloodstained bandage wrapped around my abdomen gave away what I hadn't said. I saw her eyes widen. Her fingers trembled as she let the shirt drop. She took a step back, visibly shaken, as if the truth was finally screaming at her through the silence. "You were shot..." I said nothing. She closed her eyes. I saw her mind racing, stitching pieces together. Her lips parted. "That night...the masked man..." she whispered, her voice cracking. "He called me Lia." The silence between us deepened. "It was you." Smart girl. ** ** He hides behind a mask. She hides behind silence. But some truths have fangs.
