They said a girl's life is defined by the home she comes from. Aira believed that too-until the day she lost hers. Once, her world was simple. A quiet college life. A silent, one-sided love for a boy who never really saw her. A father whose pride meant everything. She knew her limits, her boundaries, her place. And then... one night changed everything. A mistake that wasn't hers. A truth no one cared to hear. A reputation that shattered beyond repair. By the time Aira understood what had happened, the world had already judged her. Thrown out of her own home. Branded by society. Left to carry a future she never chose-alone. Except... she wasn't entirely alone. Kian stayed. When everyone else turned away, when every door closed, when her name became something people whispered with shame-he chose her. Not out of obligation. Not out of pity. But because he refused to let her face it all by herself. With nothing but each other, they begin again. A rented room. Empty pockets. Endless struggles. A love tested not by distance-but by survival. But Can love truly be enough... when it has already cost them everything? With nothing but each other, they build a life from scratch... fighting poverty, whispers, and a past that won't let go. ***SHATTERED***a story of broken heart, quiet strength, and choosing each other when the world doesn't.
