Silent Strings, Bound Hearts
By @john1208
Lena Petrova's ancestral workshop, a sanctuary of forgotten melodies, is crumbling under debt, its delicate instruments gathering dust. Her only hope lies in retrieving "The Nightingale," a legendary violin stolen years ago, now residing in the untouchable private collection of Alexander Thorne. He's a billionaire enigma, a man whose gaze is as sharp and cold as polished steel, known for acquiring everything he desires, including the very instrument that embodies Lena's family legacy. He won't sell it, but offers a brutal alternative: become his personal restorer, painstakingly repairing his vast collection, with the Nightingale always just out of reach. Each delicate touch of worn silk against antique wood, every caught breath in his formidable presence, threatens to unravel her carefully guarded heart. If she fails, her family's irreplaceable art dies, swallowed by modernity, and her own spirit will break under the weight of a heritage she couldn't save. But what if, in bringing his silent collection back to life, she accidentally awakens a forbidden melody in the ruthless billionaire himself?
