Ashes of Seventeen

They grew up side by side, their lives entwined by years of love and trust that felt unshakable. Then, at seventeen, everything fell apart. She walked into a room that destroyed the life they thought they would have. One image she could never forget. One night that changed everything.

What was once love has turned dark, bitterness, suspicion, and desire sharpened into something dangerous.

Some bonds don't break. They poison.
