Claudio, Elia e Marco sono compagni di squadra. Tutti e tre hanno una cotta per Matilde, una ragazza tanto bella quanto intelligente, che però non ha mai mostrato interesse per nessuno di loro. Ma dopo un misterioso incidente, i quattro si ritrovano intrappolati in una realtà distorta, dove dovranno mettere in gioco tutto per sopravvivere. Compresi i segreti che hanno sempre cercato di nascondere. 📌 Nota dell'autrice Questa storia è liberamente ispirata a Alice in Borderland, la mia serie preferita. L'ho reinterpretata in chiave personale, trasformandola in un viaggio psicologico e fisico tra realtà distorte, verità nascoste, e sentimenti intensi. Nel corso della storia verranno trattati temi delicati come: • depressione • autolesionismo • disturbi alimentari • bullismo • e scene spinte di contenuto sessuale ⚠️ Trigger Warning: La storia potrebbe contenere contenuti forti o disturbanti per alcuni lettori. Se sei sensibile a uno di questi argomenti, ti invito a leggere con cautela. Questa è una storia emotiva, intensa, cruda, ma anche piena d'amore, redenzione e verità non dette. Grazie per aver deciso di leggerla. ❤️

"To love and feel loved is to feel the sun from both sides" -------- Lillie-May Keeves has known two things in her life: she could not ever love, and the only boy she ever got close to loving had left her. Tommy Romero was Lillie's only constant in life since the age of three. He was her co-conspirator in every summer spent chasing tides and gathering wildflowers. That was until he mysteriously vanished from Carpinteria, California. It was a cold August night that left no explanation for why he left. Three years later, the Romeros come back to town to spend the summer. Tommy, being nearly eighteen, realizes that this is the last time he'll see Lillie before he returns to North Carolina for the unforeseen future. There are two things that he must tell her: what happened that August night, and that he loves her.

Mehrunisa Aftab was born into a life of silk and power, the daughter of Rafay Aftab, a formidable business tycoon whose influence stretched across industries and politics. Her world was one of grandeur-where whispers carried secrets, alliances were forged over lavish dinners, and privilege was as much a weapon as it was a shield. But power is never truly safe, and neither was she. Betrayed by those closest to her, Mehrunisa is torn from the life she was meant to inherit and thrust into a world of darkness-smuggled into the underbelly of society, where power is taken, not gifted. Yet, she is not one to surrender. Armed with intelligence, resilience, and a ruthless will to survive, she maneuvers through the brutal realities of her new existence, gaining the trust of dangerous men, playing a game where the stakes are life and death. Her path leads her to Zuvi Raza, a powerful politician who unknowingly becomes both her pawn and her passage back to the world she once ruled. As she climbs her way back into influence-this time on her own terms-Mehrunisa must decide: is reclaiming her father's empire enough, or is there something far more powerful she seeks? A story of betrayal, survival, and calculated power, "The silk and chains" follows the rise of a woman who refuses to be forgotten.
