Eirlys Williams is the child of misfortune. That’s what people always labeled her. 

Her abusive father killed her mother due to her infidelity with another man, creating a permanent scar in her heart. People come and go in her life, but she remains in the same place, with her indelible trauma.

"You deserve to be beaten! Who made you a child born from a murderer and a sl*t?!"

"Your existence itself is a sin!"

"Do us a favor and go die!"

She shuts her heart to deflect the pain, hurt, and sadness that constantly following her. However, to shut one's pain, means one also shut their happiness. Constant abuse throughout the years has made the girl's heart grow cold and numb. 

However, her brief encounters with the Gardners sparks a new page in her life. 

"That's very kind of you. But then, I will be worried if you go home alone."

"Don't be so reckless next time! You are a girl!"

"Big sister, please become my wife in the future!"

She could slowly feel all of her emotions coming back to her heart. The pain, joy, sadness, hope, anger, awe, and even love. This time, she vows to protect her heart with all her might. 

However, the Gardners have secrets they don't want other people to know. A secret that could put Eirlys in danger. Can Eirlys overcome the hardship that comes from regaining her emotions back?

This is a story of an adolescent girl, trying to find a place where she belongs.

Until Fate Break Us Apart

"My name is Alexander Gardner. I am a distant cousin of Eirlys. Nice to meet you."


I was dumbstruck. Who in the world was whose cousin again?


He rendered me immobile and mute only by that sentence. How Alex could smile naturally, as if he didn't shock me to death just now, was kinda mystifying. Oblivious to my petrified state, Alex continued his explanation. "My grandfather and Eirlys' grandfather were cousins, but both families have separated for long. I never get into contact with Eirlys. I just found out recently that I have a distant younger cousin who studied in this school, so I was thinking of looking for her at her school for once."


The way he explained things was so natural, and there was no trace of deviousness at all on his face. He looked like a kind and sincere older cousin trying to take care of his younger sister.
