40 parts Complete Mature
For the world, she's already dead. Sold away at a young age, erased by a lie so perfect no one questions it. Tortured and forged into a weapon-silent, deadly, unstoppable. Now, she moves like a ghost through a world that doesn't want her to exist. But someone is watching. A shadow slipping through cracks she didn't know were there. Invisible, relentless. He knew her before the darkness claimed her. Before she became what she is now. He left once-when she was still a broken girl who dared to dream. But now he's back. Waiting. Watching. Wanting. She hates him. She doesn't understand him. But he's been waiting for this moment-to find her, to claim her, to burn down everything that made her this way. But she's not that lost girl anymore. And she's not sure she wants to be found.

So he didn't. Instead, he **forced her family to marry her off to him**, threatening everything they held dear. But she was too ill to fight it. Too weak to stand at the altar. Too unaware to even know her life had changed forever. A love born in shadows. A marriage sealed in silence. And a story that proves even the coldest hearts can burn with love again. ---
