Jayden
For Jayden, love is a disease that eats away at reason. He lives by one principle: never let yourself be cared for, or you will be destroyed. However, that principle is tested every time he looks at Zevanya, his stubborn older sister.
Zevanya doesn't just fall in love; she becomes his shield. Behind the bustle of the city, unnoticed by the man she loves, Zevanya moves like a shadow—eliminating enemies, thwarting threats, and ensuring he remains safe in his ignorance.
As a sign of her presence, Zevanya always leaves a single red rose at the location where she desperately protects him. For Zevanya, the rose is a promise; for Jayden, it's a sign of stupidity.
Jayden, always watching from afar, begins to feel disgusted. He can't understand why his sister would be willing to be the "angel of death" guarding someone who doesn't even know her sacrifice. Every time he sees the rose left behind, the resentment in Jayden's chest grows. He feels like his sister is digging her own grave for the sake of a delusion called love.
The tension between Jayden's cold logic and Zevanya's blind dedication reaches its peak when a grave threat threatens to overwhelm Jayden, forcing him to stop watching. Jayden wants to prove that love can bring disaster, but he also can't let Zevanya's final rose become his own brother's gravestone.
How long can Zevanya remain in the shadows? And will Jayden's resentment bring down the fortress his brother has built with blood and rose thorns?
Witness inner turmoil, secret sacrifices, and hatred for love in this intriguing tale.
