The home she became
She had spent her entire life knowing how to care for everyone except herself. He had spent his learning how to survive without needing anyone. Two powerful families. One arranged marriage. A house full of people who had forgotten what warmth felt like. She enters his world quietly, never asking for love, never expecting to belong. But there are children who look at her with guarded eyes, a family that doesn't know how to welcome someone anymore, and a man who has built walls so high that even he has forgotten what lies behind them. She thought she was simply becoming someone's wife. She never imagined she would become someone's home. And perhaps the greatest secret in that house isn't what they are hiding from her— but what she has been hiding from herself. Some homes are inherited. Some are built. And some… become you.
