Cornelia starts working in the Ashford household, taking care of Gabriel's younger sister. It was supposed to be a simple job, a quiet phase of her life. But it quickly becomes clear that Gabriel is someone who keeps his distance - sarcastic, closed off, and clearly hiding more than he lets on. Their relationship begins with tension and sharp remarks, something that slowly turns into something neither of them wants to admit. Neither of them planned to let anyone get that close. As Cornelia begins to understand what is really going on in Gabriel's life, she has to decide whether she's willing to stay. This is a story about slowly building a connection, about boundaries that sometimes blur, and about how some people come into our lives exactly when we least expect them.

They killed his family. They took his sister. And they made him watch. Years later, he's still breathing. And that was their biggest mistake. One night, Adrien Leo Révoll lost everything-his home, his family, even his own name. All he had left was one thing: to survive. In London, he ends up in a facility for kids like him-children who should never exist in any records. Children who have seen too much. That's where he meets Amy. A girl too loud, too stubborn, and far too bright for a place that breaks people faster than they can grow up. They were only meant to exist side by side. But in a world that only takes-sometimes one person becomes all that's left. And Leo has already lost everything once. He won't let it happen again.
