He bought her because she looked at the world like it hadn't already taken everything from her. Lina was supposed to be quiet, obedient, afraid. Instead, she sketches monsters with kind eyes, wanders his halls like she belongs, and asks him questions he hasn't let himself answer in years. He doesn't touch her. He doesn't raise his voice. But every word he speaks chips away at the walls she built to survive. She was meant to be a transaction. Instead, she becomes his undoing. In a world of blood, power, and unspoken pain, what begins with bruised hearts may just end in gentle hands-and a love worth burning everything down for.
