After the Ruin

Lia once believed love was safe, until the person she trusted most shattered her.
His betrayal left marks deeper than she ever admitted, turning her heart into a place where fear lived louder than hope. For years she tried to move on, piecing herself back together one quiet day at a time, teaching herself how to survive without breaking again.

Just when she finally learned to breathe without the past gripping her, someone new stepped into her life.

And suddenly, the walls she spent years building trembled.

Lia wasn't sure if she was ready.
She wasn't sure if her heart could risk another fall.

But for the first time in a long while... she wondered if letting someone in again might be worth the fear.
