Anna's independence was a beauty in itself-graceful, clever, and admired by everyone around her. She wore confidence like a crown, her smile a flawless disguise. Few knew her secret: her strength was often a performance, her hidden gift of pretending fooling even the sharpest eyes.
But not Isaiah's.
He was known for his distance, for keeping love and entanglements far from reach. Handsome, untouchable, a man no charm could sway. Yet with Anna, he found himself watching closer than he meant to, noticing the cracks in her mask, the truth behind her laughter. While the world adored the illusion, Isaiah invested in the reality of her-drawn not to who she pretended to be, but to the woman she tried to hide.

And in this game of dominance, only one can win.
