A Sip of Scarlet
Every life has a thread of destiny.
Some shine gold. Some fade to grey.
But there are threads stained red,
threads tied to secrets, hunger, and blood.
She never asked to touch such a thread.
She never even knew one was waiting for her.
Not until the day it quietly wrapped around her fingertips…
The day she met him.
The boy with eyes the color of blood, who lunged at her like a beast… then held her like she was something precious.
The young heir to a terrifying bloodline, hiding hunger, loneliness, and a name that should never be spoken.
Between them forms an impossible bond, quiet, fragile, and dangerously warm.
They meet in secret.
They talk, they share gifts, they carve memories into stone.
She finds someone who doesn’t resent her.
He finds someone he desperately doesn’t want to lose.
But the Niviane family is not a story of fairy tales.
It is a legacy of blood, curses, and disappearing children.
Their world is built on secrets… the kind that kill.
When life tears them apart, She returns to the Niviane manor as a dying maid, unaware that the silent master behind its locked doors is the same boy she once shared joy.
And he…
now cold, elegant, and powerful…
will do anything to keep her by his side.
Even if it means drowning the world in scarlet.
