Mela was once all warmth—laughter in her voice, sunshine in her smile.
But something shattered her world.
Now she’s distant, cold, and carries a quiet ache behind her eyes. She keeps everyone at arm’s length, still loving deeply… yet hating her father with a passion no one can understand.
Why did Mela change?
Can those who care about her uncover the truth behind her coldness?
And in a world built on secrets and shadows, can she ever trust again—especially when her fate is no longer her own?
Erald, heir to a powerful mafia empire, wasn’t looking for love—especially not in the girl his father arranged for him to marry.
To him, Mela was just another pawn in a world of power plays.
Cold. Detached. Calculating.
But something about her silence… her strength… begins to unravel him.
Slowly, emotions he thought himself incapable of begin to stir.
Possessiveness. Protection. Desire.
Is it love—or something far more dangerous?
As two broken souls are forced into a bond neither chose, will their wounds heal together—or will their pasts destroy them both?
