A World Cup. Millions of eyes. Two lives under unbearable pressure. Louis is 21-ambitious, driven, and carrying the weight of leadership on his shoulders. On the pitch, he is exactly who the world expects him to be. Off it, he longs for a moment where he can simply exist as himself. Harry is 19-quiet, sensitive, and new to this world. Living in the shadow of his famous brother, he struggles with his own fears, unsure of where he truly belongs. When their paths cross during the World Cup, they meet without names, without jerseys, without fame. Just two strangers who listen, laugh, and slowly let their walls fall-pretending, for a moment, to be ordinary. What begins as a harmless encounter grows into something deeper. Secret meetings. Lingering looks. Feelings neither of them planned for. But the truth cannot stay hidden forever. Because both of them stand on the same global stage- and one day, they won't meet in the shadows, but on the pitch, as opponents. A story about love in the shadow of fame, about identity, trust, and what happens when the heart is stronger than any anthem.

Louis walked away from the BDSM scene years ago after one night went terribly wrong and left him convinced he should never hold that kind of power again. Since then, he's kept his distance. But when he meets Harry, something in Louis shifts even if Harry is the last person he should say yes to as he's too new, too trusting, too easy to want. Louis tries to resist, tries to keep the lines clear. But Harry, all wide-eyed curiosity and quiet want, draws him in anyway. And Louis realises some things aren't lost forever. Some things just need the right person to come back to life.

When Louis Tomlinson, top agent of London's Financial Crimes Unit, finally captures the legendary art thief and forger Harry Styles, he thinks the hardest part is over. But Harry is no ordinary criminal - he's brilliant, sarcastic, effortlessly charming, and always two steps ahead. When a new forger threatens the global art scene, Louis is left with no choice: He has to pull Harry out of prison and bring him onto his team as a consultant. Reluctant partners. Perfect opposites. And a case only a thief can solve. While Louis tries to keep Harry under control, Harry plays his own game - a game of secrets, risky schemes, and dangerous elegance. Every step brings them closer to the culprit... and deeper into a web of lies, art, and masterful deception. But Louis doesn't know the truth: Harry isn't just talented. He's smarter. Faster. And far more dangerous. And when this case ends, nothing will ever be the same again.

Harry Styles was no honorable man. Ruthless and driven, he manipulated those around him to get what he wanted-including Louis Tomlinson, his innocent assistant. When Louis discovers Harry's true intentions, he leaves, heartbroken. But fate intervenes: Louis becomes pregnant, and Harry, unwilling to let Louis and their child be unclaimed, forces Louis into a marriage. Now bound by resentment, their relationship is a storm of anger and regret. Can they ever find peace, or are they doomed to remain trapped in their shared turmoil? (This fic doesn't take place after the marraige. It starts from the beginning).

**THIS WORK IS UNEDITED. FOR AN UPDATED AND EDITED VERSION PLEASE HEAD TO MY AO3 PAGE LINKED IN MY BIO** Louis didn't believe in love at first sight until he met his neighbour Harry, the gorgeous man in the apartment next door who saved lives and had a smile that made his knees weak. Louis was determined that today was the day he would finally grow some balls and ask Harry on a date. Until his plans were disrupted by an unexpected delivery. One that would surely ruin his chances at any kind of love life. Or, maybe it would be just what Louis needed to bring he and Harry closer together.

In the heart of Surrey, lives the estate Worthwood Estate, where Louis Tomlinson's father owns the place and rents the cottage out to people needing a place to hide. Majority of the customers here are rich, famous, and need to leave their normal lives in order to feel a state of peace. During the peak of the holiday season, a new face pops up into the cottage, and Louis has to do everything in him to remain calm. It's not because this particular person is famous-Louis doesn't give a shit about that- but it's because this so happens to be Harry Styles, and for years Louis' sisters have swooned over the popstar, and he too, secretly crushes over him. What'll happen during the month Harry has booked the cottage? And what'll happen when he finally has to leave the peaceful bliss and return back to reality?

Harry Styles is excited to go to University of Reading, being able to live away from home and be independent. Studying English Literature, things won't be easy, especially when his roommate, Louis Tomlinson, seems to have better ideas on how to spend his free time other than studying. Harry doesn't mind people loving people of the same sex but when it comes down to Louis bringing home more men than he can count, he seems repulsed by the idea. Louis believes Harry is homophobic but there's something deeper to the story than that that Harry isn't sure if he wants to explore it. When they finally come to terms with their feelings, the past begins to haunt the pair, and new challenges bring more difficult obstacles. Will it end in disaster? Or will they be there for each other until the end?

Louis never thought his new grumpy neighbour would turn his world upside down. Harry Styles is an Alpha, a detective, and annoyingly hard to read... until he isn't. The closer they grow, the more Louis learns that love can be messy, healing can be slow and yet sometimes the pull between two souls is stronger than everything else.

Initially suspicious of Harry, an unexpected and complex bond develops between them. As Harry tries to change his life, he struggles with his past and the question of whether he can ever escape it. Amid all of this, an unexpected love arises, giving Harry the chance to start a new life.
