Some bonds are created by love.
Theirs was created by a mistake that destroyed a family.
She hates him-for what his name represents, for the past he can't erase, for the silence he carries like a punishment.
He accepts her hatred, because he believes he deserves it.
Forced into a marriage neither of them wanted, they live like strangers under the same roof-cold conversations, burning stares, and a past that refuses to stay buried.
But hatred is exhausting.
And silence has a way of breaking.
As nights grow heavier and emotions blur, lines begin to cross-slowly, dangerously. Feelings they never allowed themselves to feel start taking shape, even when they know they shouldn't.
Because loving him feels like betrayal.
And loving her feels like redemption he may never earn.
This is not a story about falling in love.
It's a story about surviving guilt, breaking silence, and loving when it hurts the most..
