At seventeen, Lily Estelle broke Vincent Stone's heart with four words: "I don't love you."
She lied.
She had to. With a diagnosis that threatened her life and a future that crumbled overnight, Lily refused to chain Vincent to hospital visits and heartbreak. So she walked away, leaving him with nothing but a crushed stargazer lily on the hallway floor and a promise they never kept.
Years later, Vincent has everything he once vowed he'd achieve-wealth, power, the empire he promised he'd build. Everything, except her. And when Lily suddenly reappears, older and scarred, working under his roof, the boy who once adored her is gone. In his place stands a man who is colder, sharper, and burning with the betrayal of her leaving.
But some things never change. His love for her. Her secret. And the promise they made all those years ago-the one neither of them can quite forget.
As jealousy flares, truths unravel, and the past crashes back into the present, Vincent and Lily must decide: was their promise just a childish game, or was it always their forever?
