Tears of a Wife (COMPLETED)

Serenity Gaile Lopez had dreams-bright, ambitious dreams of becoming an architect and building a better life for her family. But when a tragic accident leaves her father fighting for his life, her world begins to crumble. Drowning in debt and stripped of everything they own, Serenity is forced to make an impossible choice.

When an old family acquaintance offers to cover her father's medical expenses, there's only one condition: she must marry his grandson.

Now bound by a loveless arrangement, Serenity becomes the wife of Xian Li Malcon - cold, cruel, and seemingly incapable of compassion. Behind closed doors, her days are filled with silence, pain, and words that cut deeper than any wound. Still, she endures. For her father. For her family. For the promise she made.

But how long can a heart survive when it's trapped in a cage of sacrifice?
And what happens when cracks begin to form - not just in her pain, but in Xian's cold facade too?
