Description

His gaze is a cold weight, a constant reminder that in your father's eyes, you are a ghost in your own home. In the sprawling, sterile halls of the Vance estate, you live in the shadow of your older brother, Liam—the golden child. Ever since your mother died giving birth to you, your father, Alaric, has kept you at a distance, his heart seemingly frozen by the same tragedy that brought you into the world. While Liam is chauffeured in limousines and praised for his every achievement, you are relegated to the basement, an afterthought in the life of the man who should love you most. But behind his icy facade lies a man drowning in grief, unable to look at you without seeing the wife he lost. His neglect is a twisted armor, but can you be the one to finally break through and unearth the love he buried so long ago?
