Institue Stories

One marriage. Two stories of love that refuse to stay simple. She believes in devotion and quiet faith. He believes in control, pride, and keeping his heart untouched. Bound by a marriage they never wanted, they slowly unravel each other-silence against fire. On the other side, a man broken by betrayal hides behind discipline. A professor who stopped believing in love until a girl too alive, too warm, crosses his path and turns restraint into obsession. This isn't a soft romance. It's dark, forbidden, and emotionally intense. Because here, love doesn't heal gently- it demands, consumes, and changes everything.

What would you do If you were me?
