even the prettiest of flowers will wilt one day • or where a sheltered girl with haunting secrets catches the eye of a callous businessman

When you grow up without love at home, you either become despondent or you become angry or, in Kali Bly's case, you develop mental health issues. Forced into a marriage to merge two companies, she has a lot of pressure on her shoulders and without any emotional support from her family and her soon-to-be husband, will she fall into her illness and not be able to get herself out? Will she ever find the love she so desperately craves and needs?

Stella Burns do not exist. There is no trace of her out there. Her name is unknown. Her existence is a ghost. She is hidden and sheltered from the cruel world that is desperate to eat away each shed of innocence and naiveté, which makes everything Stella Burns is. She is a child untouched by the world. But as always, the world catches up to everybody, even sweet Stella. Her whole safe world is shattered when she witnesses the first cruel reality. When her dear protector dies, she has no choice but to navigate her own path out into the outside world full of evil. She finds her brothers on a stormy day at a mansion doorstep. Once she steps in, her world shifts entirely, with her new protectors standing behind her back.

The cold man fell in love with the kind girl because he knew that she deserved the world and that he wanted to be the one who gave it to her. ♡ Alette Faye was a sweet girl. She was exceptionally kind and had an air of simplicity. Between her part-time job at the bakery, her classes, her time spent tending to her flowers and walking in the fields, she didn't get the opportunity to experience much. Her past created fears in her that she seemingly couldn't overcome, and then she met him. For when she meets him, she should have run away in fear, but she stayed. She stayed and she opened her big heart for a man who found his heart, just for her. ♡ This story is a little cliché, a lot unedited, and super simple.
