A charity gala was held in the city’s grand hall, and Isara appeared radiant, but the bruises remained hidden beneath silk sleeves.
Whispers filled the room.
“Did you hear? They say she barely leaves the house.”

“Those bruises… they tell a story.”
But no one approached her. No one asked the questions that mattered.
Instead, they watched. They judged. They pitied.
