Glass is fragile, just like promises. People are shackled to their pasts. There's nothing more to life than shackles and glass promises. Promises are easily shattered, like trust. Nobody really can be trusted, anyway.
Felicite and Leon are not the ones to change this truth. The cycle continues, unbroken but not unscathed.

Almost Alive
You think you know the game. You think you know who's watching, who's chasing, who's winning. Alex thought so too. But obsession is a funny thing - it blurs the line between predator and prey, love and possession, freedom and a beautifully crafted cage. When Alex meets Claire, it isn't love at first sight. It's something deeper. Darker. A need to understand, to possess, to know. But Claire is no ordinary mark. She's patient, calculating, always one step ahead - and by the time Alex realizes he's being played, it's already too late. As the seasons unfold, Alex spirals deeper into Claire's labyrinth of mind games and cold-blooded manipulation. His life unravels, his sanity fractures, and the only thing more dangerous than his obsession... is the moment he decides to end it. In this twisted psychological thriller, no one escapes untouched. Not the hunted. Not the hunter. And certainly not the ones who think they're in control.Complete
Caged By Him
"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine."

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.

Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own.
