Aria Selene Carter.
She was an artist, as delicate as the rose petals that lie beneath one's feet. She painted the world in her own colours.
Living through constant abuse, fear and insecurities, her life transforms when she meets him.

Ricco Leonardo Conti.
He was a cut-throat gangster, a mob boss, and he bathed in rose petals. He painted the walls of his dungeon with blood.
After constant chaos and bloodshed, he meets her, and his morality takes a spin altogether.

She was the petal and he was a sucker for petals. To catch them, crush them and use them for himself. When their worlds collided, secrets were unfolded, and it got dark, really dark when he developed an infatuation with her... one that was a complete madness, and could lead to nothing but destruction.

An excerpt:

"Aria, fiore, you're mine. And I don't appreciate men oggling at you every fucking chance they get. So, you either let me pull their fucking eyes out, or let me do this to you." Ricco announces and pulls me by my neck, smashing his lips on mine.
