Loving the Daughter of My Enemy The gods are not to blame… people are. Elias lost everything in a single night—his family, his home, and the truth buried in blood and silence. Thrown into a world that showed him no mercy, he learned early that survival means becoming something the world cannot break. At St. Augustine High School, he is nothing but an outsider… until he meets her. Arielle. The girl who shouldn’t have noticed him. The girl who chose him anyway. What begins as something fragile quickly turns into something dangerous—because love like theirs was never meant to exist. While Elias fights to rise from nothing, the shadows of his past begin to close in. Secrets unravel. Power shifts. And the truth he has been chasing all his life finally finds him. But some truths are not meant to set you free. Because the man who destroyed his family… is the same man who raised the girl he loves. Her father. Now, caught between revenge and love, Elias must face a choice that could destroy them both. And in the end… Some love stories don’t survive the truth.
