For twenty years, the rule was absolute: Y/n was completely off-limits to her older brother Damien’s friends. No exceptions. No flirting. To Damien's billionaire best friend, Keaton Vance, pretending Y/n was just an "annoying little sister" was a masterclass in restraint. To Y/n, brushing off her lifelong crush on Keaton was a necessary defense mechanism. But a raw, unfiltered 4:00 AM text confession shatters the boundary between them, sparking a secret romance that burns bright—until Damien catches them. Forced apart by a fierce clash of loyalty and protective pride, Y/n spirals into a silent, heartbreaking grief. But when the tension finally snaps behind the closed doors of the annual Bennett Gala, Damien is forced to face a devastating reality: his strict rules didn't protect his family. They broke it. Can a lifelong brotherhood survive the truth, or will love permanently redraw the lines between them?
