Falling Into an Empty Space
"I fell for you like a star crashing from the sky-bright, breathtaking, and destined to be swallowed by the dark."
-Keighley
Keighley Yaia Brielle Montellano-known in the shadows as Agent Lynx-is a woman of many faces. A master of deception, she's a world-renowned model, a champion figure skater, and one of the most skilled undercover agents of her time. Behind the glitz, danger, and discipline, she is also a daughter bound by expectations and duty.
When she's forced into an arranged marriage with Xyler Arzythiel Hawthorne-a cold, calculating billionaire-lawyer with a heart sealed shut-Keighley treats it like any other mission: endure it, survive it, and move on. To Xyler, she's nothing more than a beautiful pawn in a strategic business deal.
But something changes.
His touch softens. His gaze lingers. And for the first time, Keighley lets herself hope-hope that maybe, just maybe, love can bloom in a place built on indifference.
But hope is a dangerous thing.
Just as she begins to fall, the illusion crumbles. What felt like the beginning of something real shatters into betrayal. And in the aftermath, Keighley is left spiraling-broken, lost, and trapped in the silent ache of a love that was never hers to begin with.
Can she find her way back before the emptiness consumes her?
Or is she doomed to keep falling into an empty-painful void that only grows deeper?
