The Fog Beneath Us

She died at twenty-two in a silence heavier than anything she ever lived through.

No one was there. No one called her name. No one stopped her from fading into the life she had slowly destroyed herself in.

Born into the powerful Salvatore family, she was the real daughter—yet never truly felt like one after Stella entered their lives. Without force or conflict, Stella slowly became the one they admired, while Scarlett became the one they quietly overlooked.

She tried to be enough. She tried to be seen. But nothing she did ever filled the distance growing between her and her family.

Then there was Zyan.

Cold, untouchable, heir to the world's number one company. She didn't just like him—she obsessed over him. She followed him everywhere, learned everything about him, built her whole world around someone who never once looked at her the same way.

Everyone knew. Everyone saw it. But he remained indifferent.

And she kept falling anyway.

In the end, she lost her family, her pride, her love—and herself.

But death wasn't the end.

She opened her eyes again.

Sixteen.

Back at the beginning.

And this time... she remembers everything.
