1. Prologue – The past: Isaac’s childhood, escape with his adopted mother
Prologue: The Boy with Quiet Eyes
He was only six when he first learned that silence could be painful.
Isaac stood by the mahogany staircase, watching his adopted father scream at his mother again. The man's eyes were wild, his words cruel and commanding. Isaac clenched his fists, not out of fear, but out of something else—rage that he didn’t yet understand.
When his mother finally fled, carrying nothing but Isaac and a suitcase of bruises, he felt a strange kind of freedom. She said, “We will start again.” And they did.
But the scars remained, tucked inside Isaac’s quiet eyes—eyes that would one day stare down the world from the top of a fashion empire.
Main Plot Summary:
Isaac was adopted into a wealthy family as a child, but instead of finding love, he found control and cruelty from his adopted father. His only solace was his adopted mother, who eventually fled with him. Years later, she remarries and starts a new family. Isaac grows up protective and brilliant, starting his own fashion company to create a legacy and bring peace to his mother’s life.
Alina, a passionate young fashion designer, owns a thriving clothing company. She’s beautiful, driven, and independent. Her best friend, Nina, is Isaac’s half-sister from his adopted mother’s second marriage. When Alina and Isaac finally meet, the spark is undeniable. Their connection runs deeper than either of them realizes—tied by fate and a prophecy that speaks of two creators who will change the fashion world and heal generational wounds through love.
