Synopsis
At fifteen, Della stands at the fragile edge of adolescence, carrying quiet dreams and an unspoken need for safety. At twenty-eight, Jacob is burdened by his own failures and frustrations, convinced that his suffering outweighs everyone else’s. When an unexpected deal binds their lives together, it is not a transaction of profit or power, but a decision that permanently alters two destinies. What begins as a promise of stability soon becomes a slow erosion of Della’s freedom. As she moves through different phases of her life alongside Jacob, she learns to adapt, endure, and silence herself. Jacob, unable to see beyond his own pain, projects his struggles onto her, mistaking control for care and authority for righteousness. This is not a story of dark romance, but of imbalance, misplaced responsibility, and the quiet ways harm can hide behind justification. Della becomes the unseen victim of a man who believes he is the only one fighting a difficult life—while she is forced to grow up far too soon.

Chapter 1 - "The birthmark in the dark"

It's around 10 o'clock at night, and Jacob Elordi is driving his car. He calls someone.

Jacob: Where are you coming?

Owen (his friend): we have to meet in Aman New York.

He cuts the call, puts his phone on the seat, and turns the steering wheel with his left hand to accelerate the car.

He arrives in Aman New York and finds no one waiting for him. To pass the time, he goes to the back of Aman New York.

Just then, his eyes fall on a swimming pool. He sees a girl in backless clothes standing out of the water in the swimming pool, and

she moves her hair forward.

Jacob couldn't see her face because she was standing out of the water in the swimming pool, and she moves her hair forward. Jacob couldn't see her face because she was standing upside down.

He noticed a birthmark on her left side of her back. He kept looking at her.

Then, Jacob gets a message from on his phone: "Come to the 10th floor."
