45 parte Kumpleto Madeline's relationship with Asher was like a puzzle with half the pieces missing. From the moment he appeared in her life, he captivated her with the intensity in his eyes, drawing her closer without ever saying a word. There were moments where he felt like a protector-his presence a shield between her and the world. But in the next instant, he would retreat, leaving her confused, clinging to fragments of affection. Every smile he gave seemed to hide something deeper, something darker. It wasn't a love story. It was a game-a dance of tension and release, of waiting for something that might never come. But somehow, she couldn't stop trying to solve it, even as the pieces slipped through her fingers.
