Ava has loved Ethan for as long as she can remember. As a child, he was her best friend Lena's quiet, older brother-the boy who unknowingly captured her heart with every small, thoughtful gesture. Over the years, her innocent crush deepened into an unshakable love, a secret she shared with no one except Lena, who never took it seriously. But life moved on, and so did Ethan, leaving Ava with memories and unanswered dreams.
Ethan has never been one for grand displays of emotion. As a self-made CEO, his life is measured and controlled, every decision calculated. Marriage is something he has considered on his terms-until his parents arrange a match with Ava, a girl he barely remembers beyond her being his little sister's best friend. Bound by familial expectations and duty, Ethan reluctantly agrees, unaware of Ava's long-held feelings or the weight of her quiet hope.
Can love bloom in the shadow of distrust, or will their fragile bond shatter under the weight of unspoken truths?
