    Summary

    Love doesn’t die. It just learns how to hurt quieter.

    Orm was supposed to marry her fiancée, Mintrancha Kwong.
    But one accident, one funeral, and one unborn child later she’s bound instead to Ling Ling Kwong.
    The woman everyone calls perfect. The woman who looks at her like she’s a crime.
    In a marriage built on duty and ghosts, Orm learns that cruelty doesn’t always shout.
    Sometimes it’s whispered, sometimes it’s silence, and sometimes it’s the sound of footsteps leaving before dawn.
    This isn’t a love story.
    It’s a slow descent through grief, pride, and the kind of loyalty that feels a lot like self-destruction.
