Her Pain, His Obsession

She was never born to be loved.
She was born to be quiet. To obey. To survive.

After her parents died, Esfir Vasilieva was sent to live with relatives who never saw her as family.
They beat her. Starved her. Locked her in silence for years.

She became good at disappearing - into corners, into shadows, into herself.
Until one frozen night, she ran.
No plan. No hope. Just pain.

And that's when he found her.

Damir Volkov.
He was cold, rich, dangerous. The kind of man no girl should trust.
But Esfir wasn't a girl anymore. She was a scar with a heartbeat.
And Damir wasn't interested in saving her.
He wanted to keep her.

Now, in a world filled with power, control, and secrets darker than her past, Esfir must learn:
Love doesn't always look like safety.
And obsession doesn't always ask permission.

This is not a fairytale.
It's the story of a quiet girl who was broken long before he touched her - and the boy who made her feel again, even if it hurt.

🕯️ Don't judge this story by the prologue.
🕯️ Don't assume you know her just because she's quiet.
🕯️ And don't say it's love... until you see how far he's willing to go.
