⭐️ NEW CHAPTERS EVERY WEEK ⭐️ After years of studying abroad, Olivia Moretti returns to Old Westbury to a life she barely recognizes. Her father, Don Carmine Moretti, rules the town with an iron fist, while family loyalties and long-buried rivalries simmer just beneath the surface. Caught between the magnetic danger of Johnny Bianchi and the intense, controlled strength of his brother Frank, Olivia is drawn into a world of passion, power, and temptation she's never known. As secrets unravel and desires ignite, Olivia must decide how far she's willing to go-and who she can truly trust-when love and danger are two sides of the same coin.

The screens on the sides of buildings were already on, advertising Particle City as if it were a perfect world. Ads of the Emperor and his dazzling smile. Posters of "happy" street-sweepers. And on the side, there was a large image of a Particle City worker facing the city's symbol with these words in-between: 'Til Death Do Us Part. A couple of days ago, those pictures would've reassured her. Comforted her. And now, it only clawed sharper at the odd ache in her chest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the dystopian society of Particle City, happiness is shoved so far down a person's throat, it's hard to tell what's real and what's not anymore. Most everyone there is internally crumbling, but under their commander, humanity is simply a suggestion. So they put on a happy face and do their work. Astra is one of the thousands upon thousands of victims trapped in this vicious cycle of fake smiles and oppression that seems unbreakable. When she finds out the secrets of her beloved society, things unravel into a rebellion she never saw coming.

What would happen if one could see my mind? Wierd question that is for homework, don't you think? Well, probably nothing cause my mind is not too interesting for others to see.

Oh, but that does not matter cause I am fine. Right?
