His Forsaken Melody

Amelia’s world is crumbling. Her family’s cherished, historic paper mill, a legacy of generations, teeters on the brink of financial ruin, suffocated by debt. Her only hope lies with Elias Thorne, the cold, formidable CEO of Thorne Industries—the very man who vanished from her life a decade ago, leaving her heart a landscape of shattered dreams. Once, he was the brilliant, passionate boy whose every touch was a symphony against her skin, whose promises felt like forever. Now, he’s an ice prince, his gaze sharp and calculating, his empire built on ruthless efficiency. Elias offers a lifeline, but it comes with a steep price: she must dedicate herself, body and soul, to a project under his direct, unforgiving command. Every shared glance ignites a dangerous spark, a potent reminder of their past. If she fails, her family's future is annihilated, and her own heart risks being irrevocably crushed by the man who broke it once before. Can she navigate his frigid exterior to save everything she loves, or will the weight of their past simply drown them both?
