In a city ruled by masked elites, silent canals, and dangerous secrets, the last thing she expects is to become the obsession of the man everyone fears.
He first sees her at a grand masquerade party-just a florist delivering flowers for the night. One falling decoration. One fleeting touch. One unfamiliar feeling he cannot explain.
She never sees his face.
Only remembers his scent.
After that night, their paths cross again and again through the city's winding canals and crowded streets, though she never notices the stranger quietly watching her from afar. While the heir of the most powerful mafia family learns everything about the girl who softens every place she enters, she continues living unaware that one of the deadliest men in the city has started rearranging his world around her.
Then, one morning, a new café opens directly across her flower shop.
The owner is cold, serious, frustratingly rude to customers... and strangely familiar.
What begins as annoyance slowly turns into friendship, late-night conversations, shared silences, and a love neither of them expected. But behind his quiet smiles lies a dangerous truth capable of destroying everything she loves.
And when the city finally comes for her, he is forced to choose between keeping her close... or keeping her alive.
Even if it means becoming a ghost in her story.
Because some flowers never truly die.
And neither does love left waiting by the window.
