Melody Carpina grew up knowing that life was never kind. Orphaned at a young age and raised in poverty, she learned to rely on no one but herself. She built her own strength, her own walls, and her own rules. Love was never something she believed in because for her, it was nothing but a weakness she could not afford. Everything changed when she stepped into the world of White Sand Resort Beach and met the man who would slowly destroy everything she thought she knew. He is feared, not loved. A ruthless CEO whose presence alone demands silence. In his world, no one dares to question him because his word is law. He does not ask for anything, nor does he wait for permission. Once he wants something, it is already his. His voice sounds like a command she was never meant to refuse, and his touch leaves marks she cannot erase no matter how hard she tries. She hates him for it, for making her feel powerless, for breaking her little by little until she no longer recognizes herself. Piece by piece, she loses herself until everything she has becomes his. Her heart, her body, even her soul are no longer hers to keep, yet he gives nothing in return except the cold reminder that she was never meant to be loved, only possessed. Until one day, she finally finds the strength to choose herself. Melody leaves without a trace, determined to take back what remains of her life, even if it means running away from the man who once owned everything she was. For the first time, he loses. The man who was once untouchable, the man whose word was law, the man who never chased anyone in his life suddenly finds himself searching for the one person who dared to leave him. The silence he once lived in becomes unbearable, and the power he once held means nothing without her. (Note: The book cover image used is temporary and not owned by the author.
