The Scarlet Thread
By @Kavitha RameshKumar
Orphaned at fifteen, the exceptionally handsome Halilintar Voltra forged his grief into an empire, becoming a world-renowned fashion designer. Beneath his calm, unyielding exterior and ruby-red gaze lies a heart guarded by deep-seated trust issues, preferring the quiet company of cats and the taste of strawberries to boisterous crowds. He navigates a world where every smile feels like a calculated move, and every compliment, a potential trap. His unmatched talent and ethereal beauty draw relentless, unwanted attention, threatening to expose the profound loneliness he’s meticulously hidden. When a vibrant, unexpected figure breaches his carefully constructed solitude, Halilintar must confront the fear of vulnerability, risking his carefully crafted peace for the chance at genuine connection, or remain forever cloaked in the scarlet thread of his own making.
