Enemies to colleagues to neighbors to lov - absolutely not. Absolutely. Not. ▬▬▬▬▬▬ Athena Rivera is a bedside nurse. Prejudiced against rich, privileged, and devilishly attractive guys, especially the one she's known half her life and sworn to hate ever since. Ivo Valerio is a surgical resident. Too prideful to ever admit nursing a crush, especially on someone he spent half his life pretending not to notice. But neither pride nor prejudice is enough to keep them apart, especially when they're assigned to work on the same floor of the same hospital - and just when she least expects it, he moves into the same apartment building, right next door. With chaotic night shifts where they're forced to rely on each other, quiet morning walks they keep accidentally taking together, and only a paper-thin wall left between them at home - the truth they've been refusing to name is running out of places to hide. And the closer it gets . . . the more they have to lose.

Love that grows in silence. They were never meant to be connected. But fate does not ask for permission. Rashid,He was never the kind of man who explained himself. Rashidul Ahseeb-arrogant, untouchable, and born into a world where silence was more powerful than apologies. Until her. Apshari is an architect-soft-spoken, careful with her words, and afraid of emotions she cannot control. She didn't fit into his world of control and luxury. She didn't bow to his temper, nor did she chase his attention. And maybe that was exactly what made her dangerous to him-because for the first time, silence wasn't empty around her. It was loud. It was heavy. It was felt. She never demanded love from him. She never even asked for it. When their worlds cross, there are no promises... no instant attraction... no loud confessions. But somehow, without words, without promises, without confession... something began to change. Yet as their lives keep intertwining, Apshari slowly finds herself drawn to the one person she should keep her distance from. And Rashid, who once believed he had nothing left to feel, begins to see something in her he cannot ignore. A connection started forming in the quiet spaces they both refused to acknowledge. But both of them are haunted by their pasts-memories they never healed from. He never said he loved her. But his silence started speaking for him. And when love finally came, it didn't arrive with words. It arrived... quietly.

They grew up thinking it was just a sibling-like bond. But no matter how far they drifted, something always pulled them back-like a red thread they couldn't escape. Maybe it was never just childhood. Maybe it was love... before they even realized it.
