Daisy, daughter of shining gold, in a vast mansion where her story unfolds.
Surrounded by treasures yet feeling alone.
A lost girl wandering in a world of glass and stone.
With silken gowns and jewels that gleam, she chases shadows, forever lost in a dream.
In the silence of nights, her heart starts to swell, longing for warmth within a glimmering shell.
Yet deep in her heart, a flicker remains, a whisper of hope that breaks through the chains.
Seeking the light at the tunnel's end to find her true self and begin to mend.

Daisy Beaumont has always lived a life of privilege, bound by tradition and societal expectations. Raised in luxury, her future is set by the standards of her family, until she meets Riley Hunt, a boy from the wrong side of the tracks, where the streets were unforgiving, the nights restless, and dreams carried the weight of survival.
Riley is nothing like the polished men Daisy is expected to marry, and yet, she is drawn to him. As their relationship grows, Daisy begins to question everything: her life, her privilege, and the person she's been told to be. With Riley, she discovers a freedom she's never known, but embracing it means breaking away from the expectations that have defined her life.
Their journey is one of defiance-challenging social norms, breaking free from the constraints of tradition, and fighting against the expectations imposed by their families and society. As their connection deepens, it unfolds slowly, filled with passion and tension.
Their worlds were never meant to collide. But they did. And in that collision, everything changed.
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
