Title: "Ashes of the Sunwoods"
The Sunwoods were a legacy name in the city—generations of wealth, political influence, and ruthless expansion. And Alina's father… was just the man who opened the car door for them.
Until the night everything burned down.
Alina was only ten when it happened. Her father, Mr. Yousuf, had served the Sunwood family loyally for twenty years. But that night, he was found dead beside the charred remains of Mr. Frederick Sunwood's body—father to the infamous twin heirs: Leo and Leon.
The police called it murder-suicide. They said Yousuf had killed Frederick in some fit of rage or greed. But Alina remembered the last smile her father gave her before leaving for work. She remembered how he had refused to drink even when pressured by the rich guests. She remembered his steady, quiet decency.
