Chapter 31: Wounds Beneath the Surface

🔒 This chapter is locked · 20 Quills

Under Dover's gray skies, Vivian Wood leads a simple, quiet life. For her, the past is little more than ashen fragments left by the tragic accident that took her memory. She feels secure under the care of her older brother, Louis, and in the laughter of her best friend, Emma. But that calm begins to crack when Asher Robinson—a man with eyes as cold as snow—steps into her life. Asher hasn't come to love her; he's come with fiery revenge and a dark scheme years in the making. Through carefully staged manipulation and betrayal, Vivian fails to see she's already caught in a web pulling her toward destruction. In a game where truth is a luxury, Vivian has to decide: keep living in beautiful lies, or break under a terrifying truth. Some memories are buried for a reason. Because in cold London, no secret stays hidden forever. Sometimes, memory is the most lethal enemy of all. And Asher is the reason the past should remain dead.
