Tiara Flores:
Love was not kind to her. Life has not been fair to her. Trust? doesn't not come easily to her. All she has now is hope. Hope for a life away from everyone and everything she has ever known. So she ran. She thought she could stay away from trouble until she met him. But she was determined to shield herself from from this new turn of life events. She fought him and she knew she was not going to lose.
Eugene Kozlovsky:
He is not fueled by emotions. Love for him is betrayal and weakness. He plays mind games with others. Trust? It is not there in his vocabulary. Revenge was the only thing that mattered to him until the day he met her. He wanted her. For her body. But things changed and her body was not the only thing he wanted. He fought her and he knew he was not going to lose.

DO YOU REALLY HATE EACH OTHER? (MXMXM)
Theodore Vales 🌸 Do you really hate each other? Because I don't think you do. I've seen hatred before. It is clean. Sharp. Cold. What you two have is anything but. It is fire, restless and consuming. It is tension so thick the air trembles when you walk into the same room. It is silence heavy with everything unsaid, every word buried because neither of you knows how to bleed without drawing blood. And yet-when you reach for me, both of you, your hands brush too close. Your eyes flicker not just to me but to each other, even if only for a second. You think I don't notice, but I do. I notice the longing beneath the fury, the way your anger is only the shadow of something deeper. You both want me. And I-I want you both. But maybe it was never only about me. Maybe it has always been about 'us'. Three. A number most would call too much. Too messy. Too impossible. And yet, in the way you breathe, in the way you break, in the way you burn-I see it. Three is the only way this story could ever be told. So I'll ask again. Do you really hate each other? Or is hate just another word for everything you're too afraid to confess? A story of rivals, longing, and the kind of love that breaks all rules. 🌸🌸🌸☁☁☁🌸🌸🌸 ⚠️ Viewer's Discretion is Advised ⚠️ This story contains mature themes and is intended for adult audiences.
