Allergic to tears

📖 Allergic to Tears

Born into wealth. Raised by broken promises. Forgotten by the people who should've protected her.

Annabelle Banks had everything-beauty, privilege, and the Banks name. But when her parents' obsession with power cost her her safety, her freedom, and nearly her life, Celeste learned the first rule of survival: tears are a weakness she can't afford-especially when she's allergic to them.

Kidnapped as a child and forgotten by both parents, she was rescued only to become a trophy in a war between guilt and pride. Years later, after losing her mother and enduring betrayal by those she trusted most, Anabelle reemerged-not as a victim, but as a weapon.

Now, she's cold. Beautiful. Untouchable. She silences reputations with a glance and ruins empires in heels. But behind the ice is a secret no one knows: she hasn't cried in years... because crying could literally kill her.

Then a man from her past reappears. The only one who ever saw her scars and didn't flinch. He threatens everything she's rebuilt.

Because love softens edges...
And in Anabelle's world, softness is fatal.
