Frozen Love

Starla Xander was orphaned at a young age. With both her parents gone, it was her uncle, Xavier Lloyd, who rescued her from that hopeless home.

For over a decade, he had cherished her, shielding her from the world, treating her like the most precious gem in his life.

And so, inevitably, she fell in love with him.

She truly believed he loved her too. She thought that one day, they would get married and build a future together.

But when Starla finally confessed her feelings, Xavier reacted as if she had crossed an unforgivable line.

“Starla, I’m your uncle. Get rid of those disgusting thoughts!”

And that wasn’t even the cruelest part.

He chose the most brutal way to reject her.

On the twelfth anniversary of the day they met, he stood before her with a beautiful woman by his side.

He met Starla’s eyes and said, “Meet her. She’s your future aunt-in-law.”

As she watched them standing together—so effortlessly close—something inside her shattered.

She let out a soft, bitter laugh.

“I understand now.”

Little Starla curled up in a corner of the balcony, her face streaked with tears, too terrified to move.

At that moment, she thought she was going to die.

But in the next second, Xavier appeared.

He was like a hero descending from the heavens.

He kicked open the door and rushed inside, shielding her with his body, blocking the scorching embers with his back.

“Starla, don’t be scared! I’m here!”

In that instant, in Starla’s eyes, he was just like Spider-Man in the movies—her hero.

From that day on, she and Xavier relied on each other. They became each other’s whole world.

Back then, he treated her like a princess, spoiling her beyond reason.

Her room was always overflowing with new dresses and Barbie dolls. No matter what she wanted, Xavier never refused.

He was the CEO of a multinational corporation, yet he would postpone important meetings just to watch a meteor shower with her.

On those nights, he would hold little Starla in his arms, pointing at the falling stars, and say,

“Starla, do you know? To me, you’re just like this
