“Granny Aria, can you fix Tia for me? | was playing with her, but | broke her,” a little girl said between sobs.

“Let’s see... what happened to Tia?” the older woman asked as she inspected the rag doll’'s arm.

“She got stuck in a bush, and when | pulled her out, her hand fell off.”

“Hmm... I'll see what | can do. This will require a very precise operation,” the woman said as she walked toward

her pincushion.

Hearing this, the girl covered her face with a look of pure horror.

“Don’t worry, we'll put something on her so it won't hurt. You'll see, she won't feel a thing,” the woman

reassured her, seeing her frightened expression.

Aria Fairchild had arrived in that town ten years ago, after spending a year battling a deep depression following

the tragic death of her only son. The boy’s father had helped her for a while, but in the end, she couldn’t bear it

any longer. She left everything behind and ran away to a small, picturesque village in Valeria.

The town, perched on a hill and constantly affected by erosion, had a tiny population. Its only connection to the

outside world was a pedestrian bridge. If Leonardo Palmer ever searched for her, he would never find her. This

place held no significance to anyone.

Aria had chere to let herself wither away-to wait for death to finally claim her. Yet, to her surprise, ten years

had passed, and death still refused to take her.

The town had its own charm: cobbled streets, ancient buildings, quaint stone houses, and picturesque plazas, all

frozen in time.

The Church of St. Reginald was one of its main attractions, and Aria had visited it more than anyone else. She

prayed for her son’s soul and begged for her own forgiveness. For forty-eight years, she had carried the burden

of guilt. If only she had been stronger, less naive... if only she had fought harder, her son would never have been

ripped from her arms.

She had never blamed her child's father. It hurt that he had lied to her. It hurt even more that he left and never

cback. But how could she hold it against him? He had his own family. She had only been a passing moment

in his life. The truth was, she had fallen for him the moment she saw him. He was older, yes, but she didn’t care.

The tthey spent together in his hhad been enough for her to weave a fantasy..

A fantasy that made her forget her father’s abuse. That made her forget how her mother suffered. That made

her forget she was already engaged to someone she despised.

That fantasy allowed her to escape the reality of her arranged marriage to a man nearly as old as her father. A

man who was wealthy, yes, but as rich as he was, he was equally repulsive.

Aria had been only seventeen-young and beautiful, the perfect bargaining chip to elevate the Fairchild family in

Florentian society. Roman Fairchild had only one child. His wife had tried for more, but fate had denied them,

leaving Aria with the burden of securing the family’s future

It wasn’t that the Fairchilds were poor, but they weren't at the top either. Leonardo Palmer could have been an

ideal husband for Aria, but, according to her father, a common woman had seduced him first. Martina had stolen

the chance for Aria to marry into the Palmer family.

Yet fate smiled upon Roman when he crossed paths with a French aristocrat. The De Bourbon family was by no

means a bad match.

Everything had been arranged. But what Roman hadn’t counted on was Leonardo Palmer and his daughter. Aria

had fallen in love with the dashing twenty-seven-year-old nobleman.

Their romance was a secret... until it wasn’t.

After just a few months, they were discovered, and everything ccrashing down.

Roman was furious. His dreams of social ascension had slipped through his fingers. Aria had dishonored the

family. And worse-she was pregnant with the child of a forbidden love.

He couldn’t understand where he had gone wrong in raising her. She had everything. He had given her

everything. But it wasn’t enough. A man who could have been her husband had stolen her virtue instead.

Roman had no way of retaliating against the powerful Palmer family. But then he realized-there was something

Leonardo would want: his son.

The day her son cinto the world, she wasn’t even allowed to see him. Roman had made it clear-her child

would be given up for adoption.

At seventeen, Aria had no say.

Her father tore her child from her arms without a second thought-just another deal to profit from.

Leonardo knew the boy was his. He paid a hefty sum for him. Enough for Roman and his family to live

comfortably for the rest of their lives.

Aria never saw a single coin of that money.

Her mother had died soon after she was sent to the convent. There had been no one left to fight for her.
