"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.

Love can heal, haunt... or merge you into something unrecognisable. Lucy ran away from everything - her abusive parents, her broken past, and the boy who once made her believe in angels. But Peter wasn't an angel. He was the devil she couldn't escape. When she finally tries to rebuild her life, she gets entangled in a mysterious experimental project called Eden which is a "reflected memory therapy." What Lucy doesn't know is that she's being used - her mind the perfect vessel for a consciousness that should have died long ago. As trauma, love, and guilt intertwine, Lucy begins to see Peter in every mirror, every voice, every dream. And the deeper she falls into the project, the more she starts to question: Is Peter really gone... or has he found a way to live inside her? Their realities begin to merge, until one terrifying truth becomes clear: Reflection doesn't mean duplication. It means recognition. And some reflections don't want to let go. A chilling psychological drama about trauma, identity, and the dangerous shape love can take when it refuses to die. "Sometimes, the person you're running from lives inside you."Complete
