They buried the truth with the dead.
But Zynira's done playing quiet.

She was adopted into power, then abandoned the moment her only protector died. Shipped off. Forgotten. Erased.

Now she's back.

No more fake smiles. No more playing harmless fiancée.
Zynira ends her engagement without a tear-just one cold promise: revenge.

At Blackbridge Academy, her sister rules the halls.
In Blackbridge City, her family rules the town.
But Zynira didn't return to fight their war.
She came to write her own.

She's quiet. Calculated. Watching.

Until there's Lucen-a shadow in her orbit. Too sharp. Too still. Too familiar.
He sees her. And worse? He understands her.

Secrets don't stay buried forever.
Zynira's here to wake them.
Even if it burns everything down.

At its heart lies a son whose quiet love for his mother hides deep scars, and a daughter whose life is fueled by revenge for the parents she lost too soon. As secrets begin to surface, past and present collide-blurring the lines between love and lies, guilt and justice. With every step forward, danger grows, loyalties break, and unexpected bonds form. Amid the suspense and thrill, soft moments of romance breathe warmth into a cold, deceptive world.

"They said the past dies with time. But in our world... the past never dies. It waits. It hunts. It whispers in every silence." The night it all began was not with gunfire or betrayal- but with a knock on the door of the Zydani mansion.

Maheer thought she was just another guest... until she became the center of a game woven in lies, betrayal, and forbidden desires. Every connection hides a truth. Every truth hides a betrayal.
