To disappear into the background and not be noticed. But He notices her. Gentle where others push, patient where others pry-he doesn't ask her to open up. He just stays. And sometimes, that's louder than words. But love is never simple. And even the softest hearts have storms waiting inside them. "A soft love story wrapped in ache, healing, and unspoken words. Walk with me through the quiet chaos of two broken hearts trying to find their way. You won't regret it."

And yet there were vested-interests, flooding the gates of the state in secrecy...who didn't want it golden purpose to be achieved. The phase was so ugly in the State of Chakia, so loose that many would've rather damned their integrity— to trade that path of corruption.
