In a world where hearts were easily broken, he chose to have none.
A powerful businessman, cold and untouchable, lived a life built on silence and control. He never spoke with warmth, never cared enough to stay, and never allowed anyone close enough to hurt him. Emotions were nothing but distractions-and he had buried his long ago.
Until one night... everything changed.
He found her-alone, trembling, and fragile like a piece of glass ready to shatter. Her eyes held fear, her silence carried pain, and her small hands clutched onto nothing... as if she had already lost everything.
For the first time, he didn't walk away.
He didn't know why he stopped.
He didn't know why her tears affected him.
But something in her broken existence reached the part of him he thought was long dead.
She was scared of everything... even of him.
Yet slowly, unknowingly, she became the reason his empty world began to feel again.
He, who never believed in love, found himself learning care... patience... protection.
Not as a lover-
But as a brother she never had.
And she, who feared the world, found safety in the arms of the man everyone else feared.
But when the shadows of her past return, threatening to take her away from the only place she feels safe...
Will he be able to protect her?
Or will the fragile bond they built break before it can truly become a family.
A story of a shattered girl and a frozen man-two souls finding warmth in a bond stronger than blood. ✨
