“Clarissa was ready to propose to Sebastian-for the eighteenth time. Six years of devotion, humiliation, and blind hope. She thought persistence would earn her love. Until she overheard him say, "I never loved her. She was just a tool-to get back at Aria." The next day, she walked into the marriage registration center-and married Elian, Sebastian's powerful business rival. Everyone thought she was being reckless... But Elian didn't. He simply looked at her and said, "I've waited six years for you." In a marriage that began with pain, Clarissa finds herself shielded, cherished, and quietly healed-only to realize Elian had been loving her from the shadows all along.”
