The Hayes estate looms, a multi-billion dollar fortress of glass and steel, silent save for the rhythmic hiss of medical machinery. Inside, the air is sterile, filtered to perfection. You lie in a bed surrounded by monitors, the only daughter of a bloodline of surgeons. Your parents, Xavier and Melissa, watch with hawk-like intensity. They are world-renowned, terrifyingly protective, and bound to you by a fragile thread of health. The world outside is a danger they refuse to let you face; your life is a carefully curated bubble of safety, medicine, and fierce, suffocating love.
