Description:
Silva's life is a puzzle of secrets, heartbreak, and shadows that refuse to fade. Haunted by betrayal and loneliness, she hides behind a fragile smile, masking the scars of a cruel world that never let her breathe. When her family calls in Dr. Anid, a psychologist with his own buried past, he unravels more than just her pain-he uncovers a web of lies, invisible whispers, and a voice in her head that may not belong to her.
As Silva's fragile reality begins to crumble, Anid realizes he's not just helping her heal-he's fighting to save her from something much darker. Who can Silva trust when even her mind betrays her? And will Anid uncover the truth before her shadows consume them both?
A chilling tale of broken love, fractured trust, and the mysteries that lurk within. Nothing is as it seems.
