Nealle is a powerful CEO who has spent her entire life chasing success.
Azi is a restaurant owner who has spent hers learning how to survive.
They come from different worlds, carry different scars, and live completely different lives.
Yet a simple encounter changes everything.
As friendship slowly turns into something deeper, Nealle and Azi begin healing wounds they never dared show anyone else. But with family secrets, painful memories, and a past neither of them fully remembers, love may not be enough to keep them together.
Sometimes the right person arrives at the wrong time.
And sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you're always one step ahead-or one step behind.

Behind The Curtain
Anicka never believed in distractions-especially not ones sealed with a contract and a ring. A second-year psychology student, she sees what others miss-every glance, every hesitation, every lie. Quiet, controlled, and selective, she keeps people at a distance. Not because she can't understand them-but because she understands them too well. Yaiza was never meant to be understood. A fourth-year law student, feared for her precision and respected for her silence. A student leader, an athlete-always composed, always in control. She doesn't explain herself. She doesn't need to. Untouchable. Unreadable. Or so everyone thinks. They were nothing to each other. Until they were forced to be everything. A marriage built on obligation. No love, no choice, just signatures binding two lives that were never meant to collide. Now they share a home. A space too quiet. Too close. Too dangerous. Anicka watches. Yaiza refuses to be seen. "I understand what you're feeling." "That doesn't mean I'll admit it." But distance starts to crack. Glances linger too long. Silence grows too loud. And behind Yaiza's carefully built control is something she's been hiding-something Anicka is already beginning to uncover. Because the closer they get, the harder it is to pretend there's nothing there. And some truths-refuse to stay hidden behind the curtain.

What began as a tense, unforgiving encounter in that hallway quickly spiraled into something far more dangerous. Their love grows quietly in the shadows, sustained by unspoken truths. But when every secret is exposed, will their love be strong enough to survive the lies that brought them together?Complete
