Sofia has spent her whole life being told what love is-through whispered apologies, bruised promises, and the kind of pain that lingers long after the bruises fade. She's learned to survive in a home that never felt like one, to smile through the weight of secrets no child should carry. Then there's Zayn. He's everything she should stay away from-reckless, untouchable, dangerous in ways she can't name. But when he looks at her, she feels seen in a way she never has before. In his arms, the world quiets, the chaos stills... until reality reminds her that happiness was never hers to keep. Because love is supposed to hurt. Right? And when the past refuses to stay buried, Sofia is forced to choose: the life she's always known or the one that might destroy her. Some truths are too heavy to speak. Some love stories are never meant to last.
