Alex, a powerful figure with secrets buried deeper than his cold stares, isn't one to let fate decide his future. But when an old vow pulls him back to a girl with fire in her eyes and scars in her past, everything begins to unravel.
Tied by a promise neither fully remembers-but both are bound to honor-Sofia and Alex must navigate a world of family pressure, hidden truths, and unexpected feelings.
Is it love, duty, or something far more complicated?
