Rune Pavlov is the kind of person who instantly evokes images of sunshine and rainbows. Despite her turbulent past and years spent confined within the four walls of her home, she manages to find a spark of hope in the darkest of corners. Her innocence and naivety about how the world truly works, however, leave her vulnerable to the harsh realities that many face. That all flies out the window when she discovers her mother's body, lifeless on the floor.
Kaizer Romano is a mystery wrapped in silence- intimidating and cold at first glance. He speaks sparingly, choosing his words with precision, masking a life filled with darkness. His survival instincts have been forged through brutal experiences, leaving him guarded and emotionally distant. Yet, beneath his tough exterior, he's never known true love or tenderness, because he truly believes himself undeserving of any love.
What happens when their paths cross during the investigation of her mother's murder and she learns that everything she thought she knew, is a tangled web of lies?

The Way He Saw Her
He wasn't supposed to see her again. Not after everything burned to ashes, not after he buried that part of his life deep beneath Moscow's frozen silence. But one glimpse-just one-through the blur of city traffic, and she was there. Her face, a memory he never managed to forget. Her eyes, the ghost that still kept him awake. For years, he's watched her from afar-quietly, carefully, dangerously. Not out of love. Not entirely. Because sometimes obsession doesn't start with desire-it starts with a memory that refuses to fade. And now that he's back... she's about to learn that some ghosts never stop following you. He's the kind of man you notice twice - once because you feel his presence before you see him, and again because you wish you hadn't. Born in Russia, the heir of the Morozov legacy. Mikhail Morozov, raised in silence and scars, he learned early that the world doesn't reward softness. He speaks little, but when he does, his words cut clean - precise, deliberate, dangerous. He moves like someone who's always calculating, never surprised. The kind of man whose calmness makes you uneasy. There's something about him that doesn't belong anywhere - not in the light, not in love, not even in the life he's trying to rebuild. But the moment he saw her again, everything he had buried began to surface. The danger, the desire, the memories - all of it. Now, he's not chasing her. He's remembering her... and that might be even worse.

As Aria uncovers her true identity and is summoned to face a royal trial in the Mist Realm, she must choose between the life she's built with Lorenzo and the fate she was born to claim. Meanwhile, Lorenzo finds himself in a deadly power struggle within the mafia one that could cost him everything if Aria doesn't return. Two worlds. One impossible love.

Sugar & Sin | ✔
"Morning, Mr. Serious," I say now, setting his usual cup on the table. I add two sugar packets because I can't help myself. He never uses them. He never even looks at them. But I like the idea of them sitting there, taunting him with sweetness. His eyes flick up to mine - stormy gray, the kind that make you feel like you're under interrogation for a crime you don't remember committing. "You should stop doing that." His voice is low, accented, like gravel dragged across velvet. Russian maybe? Or Italian. Or both. Either way, it does unholy things to my stomach. "Doing what?" I ask innocently, sliding the sugar closer to his hand. "That." His gaze drops to the packets. "I don't take sugar." I grin, all sunshine and sass. "You don't know that. Maybe one day you'll wake up and realize life's better with a little sweetness." ●・○・●・○・● Rafael Volkov doesn't do small talk. Or smiles. Or sugar in his coffee. As the mafia's underboss, he's built a reputation on silence, sharp suits, and an expression that could curdle milk. So of course, Lila Parker makes it her mission to crack him. The sunny diner waitress insists on slipping him extra sugar packets, calling him "Mr. Serious" behind the counter, and treating him like a normal guy instead of a walking red flag. He tells her to stop. She doesn't. He growls. She grins. And suddenly, his late-night coffee runs feel less like routine and more like... something he shouldn't want. The problem? In his world, affection is dangerous. Smiles get noticed. Weaknesses get used. And if Lila isn't careful, her little act of kindness might just paint a target on her back. Rafael swore he didn't have a sweet tooth. Turns out he was wrong. ●・○・●・○・● Word Count: 37,478Complete
