When I saw his eyes, I thought the darkness that lingered above me finally faded. For once, I saw the light in the world, the world that was designed to torture and knead out the worst pain that I could experience. But when I blinked, I realized I was wrong.

And still, here I am hoping, waiting for a love I knew would never come.

Felix Edevane bullied her long before he touched her. From childhood, he flaunted his status, using fear and power to keep Ana in her place. When he realized she loved him, he used that too.. taking her into his bed at night while denying her in daylight. She stayed. She endured. She loved him. Until she overheard him laughing with his noble friends. "I will never marry a maid." "In fact," Felix continued, laughter thick in his voice, "if she didn't wash twice before coming to my room, I wouldn't touch her." Ana didn't leave that night. She stayed long enough to shut her heart, long enough to take his money, long enough to buy her freedom from a household that never protected her. And when she finally walked away, Felix chased her.. angry, desperate, in denial of how deeply he loved her. But she never looked back. ____________________________ This story has since been revised to take a lighter path. Several darker elements of obsession, humiliation, and revenge have been softened or removed to ensure the narrative remains responsible and appropriate for a wider range of readers. As a result, certain backstories, particularly those surrounding Ana's origins and her absence from the Count's household, have been moved to the epilogue rather than explored in detail within the main chapters. What remains is a story of survival, consequence, and growth-one that acknowledges the past without allowing it to define the future.
