46 parts Ongoing When the Pembroke family adopts eight-year-old Alora, she becomes the answer to their son Kenver's childhood wish for a sibling. But from the very first moment he sees her, Kenver feels something he knows he shouldn't, something deeper than brotherly love.
Unable to understand or control it, he chooses distance. Silence becomes his shield. Alora mistakes it for rejection. She believes he hates her, even as their parents love her unconditionally. Torn between guilt and gratitude, she grows up quietly in their home, never truly belonging.
After finishing high school, Alora leaves to study abroad, hoping her absence will give Kenver the peace she thinks he needs. Five years later, she is called back home to work beside him at PB Corporations.
Now adults, no longer children, the emotions buried refuse to stay hidden. Unspoken love. Quiet jealousy. Longing that feels like a sin.
This is not a story about perfect love.
It is about love that is denied, restrained, and painfully alive.
