Broken Things Feel Too

He lost his parents too young.
She learned early that survival comes before trust.

Ruel, a powerful CEO haunted by a past he can't escape, uses pleasure to quiet the memories that refuse to leave him.
Y/N, intelligent, fearless, and fiercely loyal to the family she built from nothing, lives by her own rules.

One incident changes everything.

A secret.
A contract.
A dangerous agreement that binds them together.

What begins as blackmail turns into forced proximity, unspoken tension, and moments where walls slowly fall. In their lowest hours, they become each other's only comfort-understanding pain no one else ever noticed.

But nothing stays simple.

As Ruel and Y/N grow closer, someone watches silently-Treyvon, the one who cared for her long before Ruel ever entered her world. Every shared glance, every quiet moment cuts deeper than any wound.

Three hearts.
Hidden scars.
And a bond that was never meant to exist.

And in the end, someone will be chosen-
but not without someone else being destroyed.
