Forsaken Petals

Evelyn Hart has spent her entire life in the shadow of her twin sister, Emilia. Born as the unwanted second twin, Evelyn is a constant reminder of imperfection to her mother, a ghost in her father's eyes, and an afterthought to the world. Her heart carries the weight of rejection, her soul marked by a desperate longing for love and devotion that she knows will never come. Stoic and cold, Evelyn has learned to mask her pain, enduring life as nothing more than a silent observer of her own misery.

But her quiet existence is shattered when she is mistaken for Emilia and kidnapped by Damian Laurent, a ruthless mafia leader seeking revenge. Damian's heart, hardened by betrayal and loss, has no room for sympathy. To him, Evelyn is a pawn in a dangerous game, her twin sister's life the price he demands for the debt unpaid.

Yet, as Damian begins to unravel the truth about Evelyn-the twin who was forgotten, cast aside, and left to endure a loveless existence-he is forced to confront emotions he has long buried. Evelyn, too, finds herself struggling against the icy walls she has built around her heart, her pain and resilience stirring something in Damian that he cannot explain.

But their growing bond is fraught with anguish, secrets, and the weight of their pasts. Evelyn must confront the crushing reality of her family's betrayal and decide if she can forgive the man who dragged her into his world of shadows. And Damian, torn between vengeance and the unexpected warmth Evelyn sparks in him, must question whether redemption is worth the price of vulnerability.

Their story is one of pain, obsession, and a love born in the darkest corners of the human heart-a love that threatens to destroy them both, or perhaps, save them.
