Lost in the Distance

In a world where power shapes truth and perfection is expected, she was never meant to belong.

Adopted into a family defined by influence and prestige, she learned early that love came with conditions. The daughter of a celebrated surgeon and a rising political figure, she was given everything-wealth, education, opportunity-but none of it felt like hers unless she earned it. So she did. She studied harder, spoke softer, smiled brighter. She became exactly what they needed her to be.

Perfect. Untouchable. Worthy of the name they gave her.

To the public, she is the ideal daughter-graceful, poised, flawless. But perfection is not the same as belonging.

Until he enters her life.

He is nothing like her world-no wealth, no influence, no carefully crafted image. He stands firm in his principles, speaks with honesty, and refuses to be impressed by her name. To him, she is everything he distrusts.

He doesn't like her.

Or so he claims.
