Cecilia is a 26-year-old young prosecutor in the International Department. She is brilliant, elegant, and strict when it comes to justice. Her days are full of meetings, trials, and reports-yet, she always finds time for her beloved younger brother, Ronald. Ronald is an 18-year-old Industrial Engineering student-bright, ambitious, and kind. He and Cecilia share an unbreakable bond. They often talk late at night, discussing industrial cases, factory systems, and even life itself. Ronald always sees Cecilia as his role model, while Cecilia quietly sees Ronald as her biggest reason to stay strong in her job. Everything changes after one factory accident nearly takes Ronald's life. Cecilia steps in to prosecute the company responsible for the case-SteelForce Corporation. During the investigation, Cecilia meets Harry, Ronald's close friend and research partner in Industrial Engineering. Harry is calm, intelligent, and humble-the kind of person who listens more than he speaks. The more Cecilia works with him to understand the technical side of the case, the more she starts to feel something she never plans to feel again-a quiet, hidden affection. But Cecilia knows she can't let her feelings show. She is a prosecutor, and he is her brother's friend. The line between duty and desire becomes thin. Every time Harry visits Ronald, Cecilia pretends to stay busy with her files, yet her heart betrays her calm face. In between justice, family, and unspoken love, Cecilia must face the hardest verdict of all-the verdict of her own heart.

"𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐲 '𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨𝐨', 𝐢𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐞." - 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐭, 𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐝 [MESSY PLOT] 𝐂𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐀 𝐀𝐃𝐀𝐌𝐒 My upbringing was not easy but now? Now it's worse. Home is hell, school is hell, life is hell. But what do I do when my whole world is tumbling down and breaking down to shits? I smile because that's how I cope and that's how I show people I'm strong. People like Samuel O'Connell who I despise and who despises me. People like Samuel O'Connell who was my world and my life but now is just an addition to the many reasons why I'm miserable. People like Samuel O'Connell who can't stay away from me or leave me alone. 𝐒𝐀𝐌𝐔𝐄𝐋 𝐎'𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐋𝐋 Yeah so maybe I'm an asshole who's whole life revolves around Cecilia Adams... even though I hate her guts. She's spoilt, has life easy, and the epitome of my problems. She just thinks she's better than everyone; just look at her. The way she smiles, the way she laughs, the way she talks, her sharp tongue, everything. I can't stay away from her or leave her alone and it's fucking with my head. ~ [HIGHLY UNEDITED] TW: ABUSE, SA ~ 50k reads - ✔️ 100k reads - ✔️ 150k reads - ✔️ 200k reads - ✔️ 250k reads - ✔️ 300k reads - ✔️ 350k reads - ✔️ 400k reads - 1k votes - ✔️ 2k votes - ✔️ 3k votes - ✔️ 4k votes - ✔️ 5k votes - ✔️ 6k reads - ✔️ 7k reads - ✔️
