Power built their empires. A contract bound their names. Eliana Mili Salvador Moretti was born with ice in her veins and a crown of thorns at her feet.

The king of a blood-soaked empire, he is The King of the Balkan Shadows-a ruler whose silence is more terrifying than any threat. They were rivals before they learned strategy. Nemesis before they understood desire. But a hatred this profound is a blade that cuts both ways. And when venom turns to temptation,enemies don't become lovers. They become an addiction. And the only thing more dangerous than a war between them... is the spark that could consume them both. And if a love story could be darker- it would be theirs.

Once hers to unravel, now he's the ghost she cannot reach, a constant reminder that some hearts cannot be tamed. And yet... some promises don't fade. They linger. They haunt. They wait. This time, the game has changed. And no one is safe.

Two people of different worlds living in the same planet. When fate took an unexpected turn and unite them in the least of ways they could expect, what could be the possibility of 'happily ever after?' Maybe a Zero, maybe an infinity.

Shadows met. Sparks ignited. Secrets collided. Destinies twisted into a knot of forbidden threads-unseen, unspoken, unstoppable. The unknown stirred beneath their skin, and fate didn't just shift-it shattered. The rules? Rewritten. The world? Never the same. --- Milaya Omolola Oladokun- Veiled in innocence, cloaked in contradiction. A soft smile hides sharp edges. Sweetness conceals shadow. Her beauty? Ethereal. Her presence? A paradox. She is silk and fire. Laughter and lies. A girl of two worlds-one above ground, one far beneath. She walks with grace... and secrets. And no one sees them. Not until it's too late. --- Emran Amari Adeoye- Darkness, personified. A storm in stillness. Eyes that don't just look-they own. A smile that plays at kindness but hides something colder. Smarter. He is the silence before a collapse. A force wrapped in black threads and sharp thoughts. Danger wears him like perfume. Every movement calculated. Every glance a chess move. He doesn't enter rooms. He shifts gravity. --- When they met- Not even the stars dare look. ---
