For most people, love is a light. For Lena Schuett, it was a bruise.
It had started three years ago. Lena was twenty, working a double shift as a server at a high-end university gala. She was invisible, a ghost in a white apron carrying trays of champagne she could never afford. And then she saw her. Miu Natsha.
Miu had been standing on the balcony, surrounded by admirers, her laughter sounding like breaking glass-sharp, expensive, and clear. She was vibrant, a girl who owned the air she breathed. Lena had frozen, a glass of bubbly trembling on her tray, unable to look away. For three years, Lena followed Miu from the shadows of the internet, a silent devotee to a girl who didn't know she existed.
Then, the world collapsed. Lena's mother fell ill, the debts piled up like a mountain of salt, and the eviction notices turned from yellow to red. Desperation is a dark room with no windows. When Arthur Natsha-Miu's father-offered Lena a way out, she took it. She didn't take it for luxury; she took it for survival.
But the irony was a jagged pill to swallow. To save her family, she had to become the "secret" of the man who sired the only woman she had ever loved.
