Alina Ysabelle Allard has lived her whole life behind gilded walls, the only daughter and heiress of a powerful business tycoon. Raised to be flawless, she knows her worth depends on meeting impossible standards, being the best, never questioning orders, and sacrificing everything for family legacy. When her father arranges her engagement to Lance Villion, the eldest son of another influential family, Alina forces herself to accept what duty demands. Yet buried memories whisper of someone else, a boy she once shared secrets and tears with, though his face feels lost to time. Leon Claude Villion, the younger son, grew up invisible in his father’s eyes. Overshadowed by his brother, Leon’s quiet rebellion was his unspoken devotion to Alina, the girl he once knew beyond the masks wealth and power demand. For years, Leon watched from a distance, unable to speak, unable to forget. When fate brings them together again, Alina doesn’t recognize him. And when Leon learns she’s being forced into marriage with his own brother, the love he hides turns into a burning resolve to change destiny itself. As a contract marriage looms, betrayal reveals itself. Leon must choose between family loyalty and claiming the only woman who ever truly mattered. Alina must decide how far she’ll bend under her father’s shadow and whether it’s worth losing her heart to keep his love. In a world ruled by power, secrets, and blood, how far will they go for love that was never meant to be?

The Burning Possession Chapter 10
Alina's hand was warm in mine. It's kinda funny... like I was the one who didn't want to let go of her hand. I had so many "What ifs" running through my head. Especially the one that kept echoing.What if I never left? Would we still be the same? Would she still look for me? Would she still want me? Would we have ended up together?But even I don't know the answers to my own question. I'm not sure if she'll ever truly like me.I let out a weak laugh and smiled sadly, without meaning to. Then I turned to the window, where the glass had already started to fog up from the cold. That kind of mist that forms when the air outside is freezing and the warmth inside tries to fight it off.Just like me, I guess.I let go of Alina's hand for a moment. I didn't want to, but I had to change. The smell of alcohol was still strong, clinging to me from the glass I was holding when it spilled all over my shirt. It happened the second I rushed in to pull Alina away from that crowd of guys at the bar.

The room was dim, lit only by the soft orange glow coming through the curtains. The rain hadn't stopped. It kept hitting the windows gently, like the night wasn't ready to let us go either.Alina was still asleep.She looked less like the girl who broke down in my arms earlier... and more like the Alina I remembered. The kind of person I'd wait for just so we could waste hours talking and laughing... the one who'd get mad at me for being just a few seconds late to our favorite spot or more like our hidden spot, the place only the two of us ever went to."Those were the days..." I whispered with a sad smile, as memories from ten years ago slowly came rushing back.I ran as fast as I could to the park, knowing Alina might get there before me again. And if she did, I was definitely going to be greeted by that signature scowl of hers, arms crossed, and probably with an eye-roll for extra effect.I scratched the back of my head, remembering what happened last time when she arrived before I

She didn't say anything after I told her that. She just kept crying, still wrapped around me like if she let go, I'd take her back to her father. I kept soothing her, running my hand gently through her hair, trying to calm her down. We stayed like that for several minutes.I knew it meant nothing to her.She had no idea that the pounding in my chest was just as loud as the rain hitting the car. Alina... if I hadn't been taken to America, would we still be the same? Would I still be the one you run to every time your father says something you can't take? The one who listens to all the things you can't tell to anyone else? The one who sees the real you?I could feel her sobs slowly starting to fade, the trembling in her body calming down by the bit. But even then, she had no intention of letting go. I gently brushed away the strands of hair covering her face and saw that she had fallen asleep again. I let out a deep breath and carefully adjusted her position. She had shifted slightly i

We started walking toward the parking lot, and she didn't pull her hand away... she just let me hold it until we reached my car. I don't know if it was the effect of the alcohol, but I couldn't bring myself to let go of her hand until I opened the door. She quickly sat down in the passenger seat while I walked around to get into the driver's side. Part of me wanted to punch myself. Why the hell was I even nervous? You're just taking her home, Leon. What else are you thinking? And I was honestly caught off guard when, as soon as I sat down, Alina was looking right at me. She was staring intently, and for a moment, it felt like I couldn't even move my hands. I know it's been years since I've been this close to her, but she still has that same effect on me. It felt like my whole system couldn't handle the way she was looking at me right now. "A Jaguar, huh?" I heard her say, her gaze no longer on me. She looked closely around the interior of my car, then suddenly smirked. "It's cool.

Veronica’s clearly up to something again. The last time she gave me that look, I ended up squeezing through a crowd and fighting over books at a sale. All she said was she just needed me to come with her to buy a book she wanted.I could see her pretending to pout as she wiped away imaginary tears.

“You’ll be marrying his eldest son, Lance…”“That exam was tough! I feel like I forgot everything I studied last night. How about you, Alina? Were you able to answer everything? Anyway, even if you didn’t review, you’re still smart.”“You’ll be marrying his eldest son, Lance…”“I feel like I might

She only looked at me for a moment before quickly pulling her hand away again. I couldn't read her... I didn't know if she was angry that I dragged her out like that, or angry simply because she saw me. A sharp pain settled in my chest. Yes, it hurts knowing everything I've learned... but it hurts

LeonI was in the office when my assistant, Marco, suddenly walked in. I didn’t bother to look at him and just kept reading through the other documents. He cleared his throat for a moment, and that’s when I finally looked up. As I stared at him, I could see the unease quickly spread across his face
