Lost in the echo

In the sprawling city of Eryndale, two names carried weight: Kaila Hart, a fearless investigative journalist who never shied away from exposing corruption, and Kai Wolfe, a suave and ruthless corporate lawyer who represented some of the most morally questionable clients in town. Their paths frequently crossed, but never on friendly terms.

Kaila's stories had brought Kai into the spotlight too many times, often portraying him as the enemy of justice. He, in turn, found her reckless, loud, and insufferably righteous

Neither knew that the seeds of their animosity had been sown long before they met. Years ago, their families had been linked by tragedy. Kaila's father, a community activist, had uncovered damning evidence of corruption within the Wolfe family's company. But before he could act, a mysterious fire destroyed the evidence-and claimed his life.

Kai, only a teenager at the time, had been shielded from the details by his father. But the event left a shadow over his family's name, one that he worked tirelessly to overcome.

Kaila, however, grew up believing the Wolfes were responsible for everything her family had lost.
