Alex was not a man people whispered about-he was the whisper itself, the shadow that bled fear into every corner. To his enemies, he was the devil in flesh; to his family, a curse. Love meant nothing to him. Mercy was a word he had never learned. His hands had written stories in blood, and the world knew better than to cross his path.
he fell in love with a girl whom he rejected years ago he doesn't remember. He rejected her because he thought love would soften him, and he couldn't afford weakness in his cruel world.
> "I don't need love. Love makes you weak... and I can't be weak."
Kiara.
She used to be sunshine - sweet, bubbly, always laughing, always dreaming. The girl who loved food, played badminton with her whole heart, and would sacrifice anything for her family.
But that girl died the day she was humiliated. On a dare, she confessed her feelings to her brother's best friend. To him.
And Alex-the boy she had once admired-shattered her with seven words:
"You're not my type. Don't bother."
Those words broke her... but they also rebuilt her.
Now she's colder. Stronger. Badass enough to stare the devil in the eye without flinching.
Two years later, Alex is back.
But he's not the same either.
The devil who once felt nothing now finds himself burning-for the very girl he rejected. He wants her. Needs her. But the worst part? He doesn't even recognize that she's the same girl from his past... until it's too late.
Kiara ignores him like he never existed.
And Alex-the one who never begged, never cared-now faces the one battle he can't win with violence:
Her heart.
Will she forgive him?
Will she accept him?
Or will the devil learn what it feels like to be destroyed by the very fire he created?
