Stolen Heart, Reclaimed love

Khyl, born into poverty but gifted with brilliance and an unwavering will, lived by her ideals. Success was her only goal-not for herself, but for those she loved. There was no room for romance in her life. She couldn't afford the distraction.

But fate had other plans.

When Aki, the grandson of her parents' wealthy employer, arrived in her quiet corner of the world, he slipped effortlessly into her life. He was everything she wasn't-privileged, untouchable, unattainable. Khyl had no interest in him, yet Aki persisted. Slowly, he broke through her walls, dismantling every defense she'd carefully built.

Against all odds, she fell.

For a fleeting moment, everything felt perfect.

Then it all unraveled.

Betrayal struck like a knife to the heart. Her father was accused of betraying the family they served, and Khyl's world began to spiral. Secrets long buried surfaced-ones she was powerless to contain. The truth her parents had hidden shattered the illusion of her perfect home.

Now, all Khyl has left is pain... and questions without answers.

Can she survive the weight of her family's sins?
When guilt and rage threaten to consume her, will she still be capable of love?
Or, when the scars cut too deep, will she surrender to the darkness?
