They told her she was lucky to be adopted by the Vernier family.
Lucky to be saved from a childhood of loneliness.
Lucky to be given a home, a name, a life.
But no one ever asked her if being invisible felt like luck.
No one saw the bruises words could leave.
No one saw the way her smile cracked under pressure.
Until he did.
He wasn’t supposed to notice her.
He wasn’t supposed to care.
He wasn’t supposed to be the one who saved her.
But the moment his cold, grey eyes met hers across that crowded ballroom…
Aria’s life began to change.
Because sometimes… it’s the broken who save the broken.
And maybe—just maybe—
She wasn’t as invisible as they thought.
