She survived six years of captivity. Six years of pain, silence, and darkness. The only thing that kept Kali alive... was the memory of him. Matteo. The boy who once loved her. The man who came back too late. Now she's finally free-broken, scarred, and standing in front of the one person she never stopped loving. But Matteo is no longer the same. He's colder. Harder. Dangerous. He saved her. But he refuses to love her. And Kali is left to face a truth more painful than everything she endured- What if the only person she lived for... is the one who can no longer love her? --- In a world ruled by power, loyalty, and blood, love is not gentle. It is possession. It is survival. It is war. And this time- it might destroy them both. © 2026 Vrananana. All rights reserved. This is a work of fiction and my original creation.
