For twelve years, Lena carried a silent love for Dane, the only light in a world where her wealthy family saw only her hearing impairment. When a family arrangement finally gives her his hand in marriage, her dream turns to dust on the very same day—Dane believes she trapped him, and his cold resentment becomes their home. For three years, Lena endures in quiet devotion, her love her only language. The final fracture comes when his first love returns, and he chooses her, openly and without remorse. With her heart in ashes, Lena holds onto one final secret: she has only three months to live. Her last request is not for his love, but for her freedom—a divorce that will finally make him hear the one thing she never said aloud.
