Wu Suowei is noise. He's a laugh that spills into every room, a life lived loudly and without excuses-a boy who learned early to survive by clinging to people, chaos, and warmth. He believes the world is meant to be touched, savored, shared, no matter how cruel it may be. When money runs low and an unusual offer arrives, he accepts without hesitation: to move in with a stranger, keep him company, help him "rejoin the world." Chi Cheng is silence. He lives shrouded in shadow, behind locked doors and bright screens, in a carefully built refuge where nothing can hurt him anymore. Once broken by cruelty and humiliation, he has learned that retreat is safer than hope. His parents call it concern when they pay someone to enter his life. Chi Cheng calls it betrayal. From the first moment, he knows Wu Suowei was there for a reason - and Wu Suowei doesn't deny it. United by fear, resentment, and chance, they clash: Wu Suowei's luminous, intrusive presence versus Chi Cheng's fragile stillness. One too alive, the other barely surviving. One who fills every silence, one made of it. What begins as a private arrangement slowly transforms into something neither expected. Wu Suowei sees darkness not as something to fix, but as something to live with. Chi Cheng realizes not all hands are meant to hurt - and some people are worth holding on to. This is a story about the courage to live, the light that can feel too bright, the darkness that seems endless, and the fragile space where two broken people learn to exist together. Sometimes love doesn't arrive gently. Sometimes it hits you like a punch in the gut - and leaves you breathless, aching, and wanting more.

QUEENS OF CHOAS SERIES PREQUEL!!! 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.

(BOOK 1 Of the QUEENS OF CHAOS SERIES) Isa Valen doesn't believe in restraint. Two weeks ago, she did champagne, a sinfully accented stranger, and a night so consuming she ran before sunrise. She doesn't remember his face. She doesn't remember his name. But her body remembers the way he made it burn. When her sister runs to New York, Isa follows without hesitation. New city. New job. New distractions. Then she meets her boss. Erik Orlov. Billionaire. Bratva Don. A devastatingly gorgeous tattooed man built from control and violence wrapped in tailored suits. The first time he looks at her, something tightens in her chest. The first time he steps close, her pulse betrays her. She doesn't recognize him. He recognizes the curve of her mouth. The sound she made when he touched her. The way she ran. The night she can't remember is the one he hasn't stopped replaying. Now she works beneath him - in his office, in his space, in his world. Every glance lasts too long. Every accidental touch feels deliberate. Every breath between them feels charged. And Erik Orlov does not chase. He claims. Enemies circle his empire. Loyalty fractures. Power shifts. But none of it unsettles him like the woman sitting across his desk, pretending she doesn't feel it too. Until two pink lines appear. Because the only thing more dangerous than their chemistry... Is the secret growing between them. And this time, he won't let her run.
