His life takes a turn for the better.

Prologue
Could it be that he knows, and that's why he...?"
The life of secrets, betrayal, and firm
In the midst of being lonely some days, Karalana takes a turn in life for the better.
Karalana's mind was a swirling tempest of memories.The weight of his mother's death hung heavy on his shoulders—a tragedy that had shattered his world. Though the accident had been beyond his control, the blame was inescapable.
One fateful evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the mountains, he met Sharisha. Her presence was a gentle breeze that momentarily calmed the storm in his heart. The two shared a secret beneath their imaginations, their whispered words forming an unbreakable bond.
As time passed, Karalana couldn't deny the growing connection between them. In Sharisha, he saw not just a refuge from his past but the promise of a brighter future. And so he made a decision to be by her side: he would keep his mother's death a secret from her; it was a lie born out of love.
In the glittering city of Smokey Valley and with unfamiliar faces, Karalana's trust issues deepened like a chasm in his soul. Surrounded by the wealthy elite, he felt like an outsider, a mere spectator in a world where people wore masks of politeness and privilege.
When every smile seemed to have hidden agendas. He couldn't help but wonder if, in this world of opulence, genuine connections were a rarity. The memories of his cousin's past betrayal and the weight of his tormenting memory only fueled his suspicion of everyone he met.
Yet, amid this sea of unfamiliarity,Sharisha remained his anchor. Her unwavering support and genuine affection were the glimmers of light in his darkening world. With her, he dared to believe that trust could be rekindled, even in a city where wealth and facades seemed to rule.
The unexpected marriage of Karalana and Sharisha sent shockwaves through Sanka and Abisai's circle of friends.

BLOOM OF UNSPOKEN LONGING

With a forceful punch, Kini struck the bodyguard's temple, sending him crashing against the wall. Blood trickled from his split lip as he struggled to regain his composure, his resolve wavering under the relentless assault. 


But before he could gather himself, Kini surged forward with unyielding determination. His knee raised, poised to deliver a devastating blow, Kini prepared to strike with all the pent-up anger and frustration fueling his every movement. 


As Kini relentlessly pressed his attack, his opponent found himself unable to mount a defense. With each strike, Kini left him increasingly vulnerable, his movements precise and calculated. 


A swift strike to the nerve on his biceps left the bodyguard momentarily immobilized, unable to react as Kini delivered a final, devastating blow to his neck. 


The force of the impact sent a surge of paralysis coursing through his nerves, and the bodyguard slumped to the ground, unconscious.
