Faye Malisorn is a woman shaped by silence and shadows. Hardened by betrayal, she walks through life with frozen veins and a heart long buried beneath the wreckage of trust. To her, love is a lie-an illusion crafted to break those foolish enough to believe in it.
Y/n Warren is everything Faye is not. Warm, hopeful, and unshaken by the cruelty of the world, she believes love is the only thing worth fighting for. Their meeting is unexpected, a chance encounter that sparks something neither of them can name-something dangerous.
But Faye harbors a secret that could shatter them both. Now, that child stands before her. Y/n. Full of light. Full of life. Full of everything Faye once wished away.
And against all odds, Faye begins to fall-for her smile, her heart, her relentless belief that people can still be good. The irony is cruel. The guilt is unbearable. Every heartbeat is a reminder of what she once wished to destroy.
As truths unravel and the past claws its way to the surface, Faye is forced to face a brutal question:
Can love bloom from the ashes of such hatred, or is some damage too deep to ever be undone?
