Sylvia demanded, eyeing Ava as she approached the statue with the deathly inscription. Rose glanced around, trying to make sense of the shadowy figure near the door. "Guys, I don't think we're meant to touch that," Emily warned. "I think something is trapped in there." "Oh, that? I might have pushed it slightly, by mistake," Ava replied meekly.

In a bustling modern city, Zain lives a life far removed from luxury. Every day, he wakes up before dawn, walking and jogging a 30 km journey just to reach the home of Hana, the youngest daughter of the wealthiest and most powerful family in the region. Zain works as her driver and personal assistant, taking her to work, running errands, and accompanying her wherever she goes, never complaining despite the struggles in his life. His routine is mundane, yet filled with dedication. After each workday, he showers and changes clothes in the car porch of Hana’s mansion, waiting for her to finish preparing herself. He often finds himself admiring her beauty and perfect life, but in silence, his heart feels empty. There is something deeper he feels for her, but Zain can only keep this secret within himself. He knows that in a world of privilege, he is just a simple man who doesn’t deserve to express such feelings. Hana, on the other hand, seems to live in a perfect world. Beautiful, wealthy, and free, she has everything that others long for. Yet, behind the sweet smile and the shiny life, Hana feels an emptiness deep inside. The pressures of her family’s expectations have never allowed her to truly breathe. In moments of solitude, her thoughts wander to Zain—the man who’s always there, quietly handling her daily life without expecting anything in return. But like Zain, Hana also fears expressing her feelings. She feels unworthy, worried that acknowledging her emotions might ruin the professional relationship they’ve carefully built. However, the tension between them continues to grow. Every interaction is charged with unspoken emotions—Zain holding back his longing, and Hana trying to forget the feelings that are becoming impossible to ignore. Every light touch, every gaze that lingers, every moment shared creates bittersweet memories that both soothe and hurt. They both know that the love between them exists, but their worlds are too different for it to flourish. The biggest challenge comes when Hana’s father introduces another man—a perfect suitor, according to the family’s standards. This man is wealthy, successful, and has everything society expects. When Zain hears the news, his heart shatters. He feels powerless and pushed aside, only able to watch from a distance, even though his heart cries out because he knows that the love he hopes for may never be returned. Yet, when Hana finds herself trapped between her family's wishes and the growing love she feels for Zain, she faces a tough choice. Should she follow her heart and chase the love she desires, risking everything, including her family’s approval and status? Or should she submit to the life her family has chosen for her? Main Themes: Unspoken longing: The deep love and longing that exists between them, yet cannot be expressed. Sadness and sacrifice: Zain sacrifices in silence, while Hana struggles with balancing personal happiness and family obligations. Fear of love: Both characters are afraid to admit their love for each other, fearing that it could destroy what they already have or cost them everything. Inner conflict: The uncertain feelings—are they brave enough to defy the world and family for the love they share? With these emotional elements, the story reveals deeper conflicts, intensifying the relationship between the two characters, and exploring their hopes and fears. The storyline becomes more dramatic, touching readers' hearts with its blend of unfulfilled desires and emotional struggle.

I‘ll try to publish at least 2 chapters a week, probably more. The first story arc is pretty much mapped out. Should be around 150 or 160 chapters for the first volume (it’s taking much longer than I expected) and the second one is nearly finished as well. Try it, it should be one hell of a ride. One more thing: the first two chapters are more or less a prologue and if you want to, you can skip them, I wouldn’t recommend it, though. The writing style as well as the perspective shifts dramatically, afterwards. As for trigger warnings: it’s going to get gory from time to time, and the MC often has to pay a toll in blood. Additionally there are -mildly- sexualised scenes, once in a while, but nothing graphic. Lastly, somewhen webnovel changed the description box from female lead to female oriented. It’s mandatory and I can’t change it either way but I have no clue if the book is catering male or female preferences. I hope the description above makes up for whatever confusion it might cause.
