Azura Skye had always believed her life was small, quiet, and beautifully simple. She grew up with only her mother, Liana Safiyyah, an Indonesian immigrant who raised her with warmth and gentleness. Azura's father, Sebastian Skye, had been the kind of man who loved softly and explained even less, a man who never let his smile falter no matter how much weight he carried. He passed away four years ago, leaving behind only memories, a gallery he gave to Azura, and a mystery Azura never knew existed.

Andrew and Arthur Kyran were stunned by the will they received when their father passed away.
"My three children will inherit equally."
Their father had never hinted at another child. For years, they searched scouring records, meeting lawyers, even hiring investigators. Only to find nothing.
Until one day a file in Kyran Corp's property archives listed a building still partially owned by their father.

Caspian has always lived with a sharp mind and an unpredictable heart. He is brilliant, curious, and irresistibly drawn to anything that challenges him. Nothing has challenged him more than a single painting he encountered years ago.
Back when he visited an exhibition at the Royal College of Art, one piece of art stopped him cold. A hauntingly serene painting that captured him.
And no artist's name mentioned.
The painting disappeared after that exhibition. Caspian searched every archive, contacted galleries, even followed dead-end whispers in the London art scene, but he never found it.
Years later, a poster appeared in the city.
And on it depicted...
The same stroke of painting, the same eyes, the same silent emotion he'd never forgotten.
