Akira Kaliea Sylvaine Martinez, an only child and the treasured first granddaughter, raised not with freedom, but with expectations.
Groomed by her grandfather to take over the family business, her life has always been about control, perfection, and obedience.
Love? That's something she buried long ago after a painful past with someone she once trusted.
Until she meets her professor.
Professor Astravelle.
Cold. Elegant. Untouchable.
The kind of woman who could silence a room with just a glance, and yet somehow, Akira found herself noticing the smallest things about her. The way her voice softened when discussing literature. The way her fingers lingered on the edges of books. The way her eyes... held something deeper than indifference.
And now, Akira is left with a choice
protect her heart like she always did,
or risk everything for something she swore she'd never feel again.
But what if the one she's falling for is the very reason everything could fall apart?
