even the prettiest of flowers will wilt one day • or where a sheltered girl with haunting secrets catches the eye of a callous businessman

Dolly and Valentino. Sweet and intense. Crazy and serious. Two opposites. Two hearts. Two lonely souls. Dolly Armstrong is a crazy 19 year old with no experience of friendships or relationships. Isolated her whole life, she's desperate for a friend, someone she can waffle her heart out to, someone she can dress up in matching duck onesies with, someone who can tame her little crackhead self. Valentino Dominguez, a 25 year old lawyer who has no time for anything or anyone. He didn't care for a relationship, he told himself he was content on his own, basking in the silence of his own presence. That's how he liked it, quiet and calm. Until a talkative girl without the ability to be quiet stumbled into his gym. Can these two opposites ever become one?

Is this really considered living when I have grown numb to everything? To pain, to death, to my own emotions? Is this how it's going to be for the rest of my life? If this is really it...I'm fucking ending it. Vincent Romano has gone through Hell to get to where he is now, the top. He's learned how to live above the rules of the game of Life, how to control the players, and when to become them. When you look at Vincent Romano's life, it's nothing short from perfect - other than the fact that he wants to kill the only family he has left. He has more than enough roofs over his head, provided with only the finest dishes one could find in this world, and a never ending amount of money. So, why is it that each day is nothing but a painful reminder of what he doesn't have? Why is it that the hole in his chest never seems to close? Why is it that no one loves him? That is...until 𝓔𝓿𝓮𝓵𝔂𝓷.
