She was the mute girl in his class, a flash of red hair and expressive eyes, a silent spectator to his life. He was Ronan Gray, the classmate whose quiet presence filled her hidden world with a longing she could never voice.
Fate, in the form of a business deal and a signed contract, did what she never could. It bound them together.
Now, Cora Ashworth finds herself in the plush silence of a wedding car, married to the man she secretly adored. Every stolen glance is a memory, every breath a prayer. With trembling hands, she types her first, fragile question on her phone, offering it to him like a key to her heart: Is it... very far to our new home?
This is the story of a love that begins where words end. It's a journey of a thousand unspoken emotions, communicated through written notes, determined gestures, and the quiet tap of Morse code. It's the tale of a young woman, outwardly submissive but with a fierce, loyal heart, navigating the terrifying, hopeful waters of a forced marriage, desperate to transform a business arrangement into the genuine love story she has always dreamed of.
She is his wife. He is her secret crush. And within the walls of their new home, a silent promise begins to grow.
A Silent Promise.
