𝗥𝗮𝗲𝗹𝘆𝗻 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 knows how to chase stories- she's just never been the story herself.
At 22, Rae is quiet, invisible, and new to the cutthroat world of journalism. When she's mistakenly assigned to cover a high-stakes corporate trial, she finds herself face-to-face with the city's most infamous attorney: 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗲- cold as stone, sharp as a knife, and untouchably brilliant.
Clara doesn't give interviews. Doesn't answer questions. And definitely doesn't notice journalists-especially not ones like Rae.
Until 𝘴𝘩𝘦 does.
One conversation turns to three.
Three become glances.
Glances become touches.
And Rae falls. Quietly. Deeply.
Clara doesn't fall. Not at first. Not the way Rae does.
But when Rae walks away, Clara realizes what she's lost-
and 𝘴𝘩𝘦 falls harder.

In a world of deadlines, secrets, and sharp suits, love wasn't supposed to be the story.
But maybe it always was.
One was chasing the truth.
The other was hiding it.
And somewhere in between, they found each other-
in the silence.
