When Caspine was ten, he first saw Isha, a one-year-old child brought to him by Raian, not as kindness, but as possession. From that moment, her life unfolded under Caspine's shadow. She grew up inside his world, shaped by his silence, his control, and the unspoken bond that neither of them ever named. For nine years, Isha existed as something that belonged--protected, watched, caged.
Then one day, something breaks.
Isha leaves.
Or so the world believes.
The truth is darker: Caspine lets her go. Not because he stops wanting her, but because his love is the kind that destroys what it touches. Her absence is not freedom, it is a wound he chooses to live with.
The question is not whether they meet again, but when. And when they do, it will not be as captor and child, nor as savior and victim, but as two people marked by the same darkness, unable to escape the past that still binds them.
