Lila Summers has always believed that flowers can heal almost any wound. As the owner of Petals & Posies, her flower shop in the heart of the city, she's found peace in the soft beauty of petals and blooms-until the cold, unyielding force of Lorenzo Hayes walks through her door. Lorenzo, a powerful CEO with a reputation for getting what he wants, has his eyes set on expanding his empire, and he sees potential in Lila's business. But Lila isn't interested in being another cog in his corporate machine. She's built her shop from the ground up, and she's determined to keep it that way. When Lorenzo offers her a partnership, Lila resists, unwilling to compromise her independence. But as their paths continue to cross, she finds herself questioning everything she's worked for. Is it possible to grow without losing herself? And more importantly, is it possible to trust the man who could either be her greatest ally-or her downfall?

My name carries weight, heavier than you might ever imagine. It is always associated with hatred, fear, and darkness-everything everyone expected me to be. One lesson I learned young is that it's better to be feared. But I was the one scared of him, of her, of their power and my own reflection. I've inherited his dark brown eyes-heavy, emotionless, and empty. I've got her curls, and hell, even her facial features. That's the worst part of me: seeing their creation reflected in my face. I am just another puppet, their biggest disappointment, yet still enough to lead when things get out of hand. Another year of classes, another year closer to my end-mentally and physically. Their whispers follow me everywhere, in every corner, as if I were the cause of all this, as if I had chosen it. Like hell, I would. By now, their ugly words no longer reach me. At least that's what I'm telling myself. My jaw always clenched, holding back any emotion, any words, any fists. I hate how they fear me and how they act around me, but, honestly, I'm even scared of myself. But it was better this way; someone closer than my arm's length would complicate things. Right? Right. Credit for Mattheo Riddle goes out to Yasemin and anything related to Harry Potter obviously to JK Rowling.💗 Her headcanons of him are mixed with mine a little. You always disagreed with popular Mattheo Riddle? Let me show you my version of Mattheo Riddle. Enjoy the read💞

"Who did this to you?" I didn't look at him. I couldn't. I stared at the glass in my hands. My knuckles were scraped. One nail was broken. I didn't remember when that happened. I opened my mouth but nothing came out. His fingers twitched against the sheets. His eyes never left me. "Ella" he said again, quieter now. "Tell me who did this." My throat closed. I tried to speak. Tried again. And then, in the smallest, ugliest voice I'd ever heard from myself: "Nathan." The name barely passed my lips.
