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

"Miss Williams, please show the transfer student around the school. It would be problematic if he got lost because this school was pretty big," said Mr. Hudson after the class ended.

I was wholeheartedly about to refuse when Cassian suddenly said timidly beside me. "P-please look after me."

He stared at me with an embarrassed and nervous expression. He looked so harmless that no one could bring themselves to reject his simple request.

While I was distracted, Mr. Hudson had walked away while saying, "Then I'll leave it to you. Class dismissed."

I wanted to dump the task on Kelly since she was the class representative. However, Cassian's pitiful look softened my heart, so I eliminated that idea.

Well, there was no harm in doing it, might as well do it quickly.

I stood up from my chair. "Let me show you around."

"Yes!" Cassian answered enthusiastically as he walked beside me.
