The Stewarts have always been a very proud family. Their notorious legacy of strong leadership has allowed the Stewart name to remain on the throne for generations. King Aleksander always demands perfection, and unfortunately for one son, he is the exact opposite of his father's expectations. Being alienated by his family, avoided in high society, and losing his mother to illness has led Aryn Stewart down a very dark path. But perhaps something, or someone, will be holding a candle in the night.

They call it El Cielo Alto, the high heaven of Manhattan. Where the powerful play, the rich confess nothing, and sin is simply another luxury. Vivian Valentine was born to be adored, the perfect wife to Marco Valentine. But diamonds can cut deeper than they shine. In a marriage built on ambition and betrayal, Vivian learns that not all sins are hidden, some wear wedding rings. And when love becomes the most unforgivable sin of all, there's no salvation in the city of angels and liars.

Flowing silk dresses. Structured suits. Empty, forced vows. Soft, sweet nothings. Whispered caresses. Bittersweet kisses. Blue, blue eyes. This is not a love story. This is ruination. 🥀 Rosaline Beaumont. A name that once graced every tabloid, a face that used to be plastered all over social media. A girl that had all but disappeared. But now, four years after everything had turned to ashes in her grasp, she was back under the ever greedy gaze of the cameras, the watchful eyes of high society thirsting to watch their darling unravel. Standing at a wedding altar not of her choice, Rose was on the precipice of vowing to spend the rest of her life with a man she hardly knew. A deadly gamble. A hopeful new start. But could something new truly blossom, when the clutches of the past were dug so deep? Could she ever truly move on, when she couldn't close her eyes without dreaming of him? And could a marriage really last, when her heart would forever beat for another? 🥀 Completed on July 5, 2025.
