She wasn't attentive to how he knew everything about her, and the secrets that he kept hidden in the lurking shadows just waiting to combust. Those caliginous fantasies that would eat her up and swallow her life whole. Alessandro didn't find himself obsessed, despite what others thought. He believed that he loved Jesse, and he would do anything in his will power to get her to love him back. 2020-2022. ©sinfulsrose

He was the man next door - older, quiet, the kind who always offered help with a gentle smile. And she? She was the girl who decided to ruin his control. Evelyn told herself it was just a crush. A harmless attraction to the man next door. But late-night encounters, lingering stares, and the way his presence unsettles her make it clear-it's something more. He told himself it was his wicked mind seeing her in a way he shouldn't... but it wasn't. It wasn't his imagination. It was her plan.
