Mia had always know what it meant to be left behind. Her parents walked away from her, chasing lives that never included their daughter. It was her grandfather who stepped in– raising her, guiding her, and in the end, choosing her. When the time came, he entrusted Mia with the family's vast inheritance, bypassing his only child, Mia's mother . To Mia was privileged. To Mia, she was simply the girl everyone had left–except for her grandfather and best friend, Lila. They were the only ones who stayed, the only reason her heart didn't go completely cold.
Ace's path was no less heavy . The firstborn and only son, he was raised with the weight of his family's empire on his shoulders. Groomed to inherit everything, he learned quickly that love and softness had no place in the world. The lesson had come early–when he was just seven, he caught his mother in betrayal, breaking not only his father but his trust in women forever. Since then, love had become nothing more than a lie he swore he'd never believe in.
Two heirs. Two legacies. Two hearts scarred by the very people who were meant to protect them.
But fate has its own sense of timing
Lila has already found her happiness with James–Ace's closest friend. And together, they saw the truth Mia and Ace refused to admit: that beneath the walls and weight of their families, both carries the same wound... and perhaps, the same answer.
Because even the hardest hearts , when tested, can still learn how to fall.
