Completed • First Draft - not edited. || "You gonna sit there all night?" Luka glances at me, smirking. I glare back.

Once upon a time, a girl was sent away. No trial. No second chance. Just a story everyone believed because it was easier that way. Five years later, she comes back. This is the part where, in a Disney movie, she'd forgive everyone, hug her family, and learn the power of love. Instead, Gianna De Santis learns how to break bones, keep secrets, and survive rooms that were never meant to be safe. The family expects a villain. The kingdom expects obedience. And some Princes are not always charming . There are no fairy godmothers here. Only men with power, women with knives, and lies that refuse to stay buried. And while everyone's busy wondering if Gianna is still dangerous- They forget to ask the real question: What happens when the girl they tried to erase comes back sharper... and finally decides to stop being nice? Because this isn't a Disney movie. And the girl who survived the tower doesn't believe in happily ever after- She believes in consequences.

One cramped dorm. Three unwelcome guests. Two very blurred lines. Alejandra's sophomore year was supposed to be about focus, late-night study sessions, and finally having her own space. But when a massive gas leak turns her twin brother Alejandro's apartment building into a hazard zone, her sanctuary is invaded. Alejandro doesn't just ask for a place to crash-he moves himself and his two best friends, Elijah and Matthew, into Alejandra's tiny dorm room. The arrangement is a disaster from day one. Alejandra is beyond pissed; her privacy is gone, and her brother is as overprotective as ever. On the other side of the room, Elijah and Matthew aren't thrilled either. To them, Alejandra was just the "annoying twin sister"-a girl who would surely ruin their vibe and bring unwanted drama. But the girl they remembered isn't the woman standing in front of them. As the days bleed into nights, the narrow walls of the dorm begin to close in. The initial annoyance transforms into a heavy, suffocating heat that none of them can escape. Between the whispered conversations in the dark and the accidental brushes in the hallway, the boundary between "roommate" and "obsession" begins to disappear. Alejandra came into this hating the intrusion, but as she finds herself caught between Elijah's dark intensity and Matthew's magnetic pull, she realizes that some fires are impossible to put out-especially when they're burning right under her brother's nose. ⚠️ MATURE CONTENT: This is a "Why Choose" / Polyamory Romance featuring high-heat themes, power-exchange dynamics, and intense shared intimacy.
