//The Eternal& The Ephemeral//
Rosanne Bard thought getting to her dream university was going to unlock some of the best opportunities of the world-open for her taking, what she didn't anticipate was him.
Roman Volkov-an academically brilliant genius but his destiny was the ultimate path to power, one even he couldn't stop, but soon he realised power was best safe in hands that didn't covet it, what he didn't anticipate was her.
"Love cascades down rivulets, tracing deceit and overcoming tragedy, lovers turn into warriors once faced with a battle of hearts and minds. So many moments of lies, covered and discarded, Wishing that the illusion of love works just one more time. So tell me now and tell me again, forever is etched in our love, or our love's a dying flame? My mind rushes into every memory of us, decoding, deciphering whether there was a moment you would've undone. So i demand it-tell me now, honestly, are you holding me eternally or ephemerally?"

"I have loved her," He said, his eyes almost bloodshot, as the thunder sounded through the gigantic window frames and cast a light on his frame as he leaned against the table- he looked mighty and powerful, a man on the helm of power, but one couldn't miss the longing and agony in his tone as he continued, "I have loved her 5 years ago, I love her today, I'll love her 10 years from now, and nothing can ever bloody change that."

Dark devoted obsession
She signed the paper with trembling hands, her vision blurred, her mind clouded-drugged and barely aware of what she was doing. "Why are you doing this to me?" she asked, her voice shaking, yet defiant. Even in her weakened state, she refused to show fear. The man standing in front of her stared with eyes that pierced through her soul, sending a cold shiver down her spine. "What did I do, sweetheart?" he said, his voice low, dangerous-yet laced with something disturbingly tender. "You look at me like I've wronged you. But all I did was what's best... I made you mine. You were mine the moment my eyes found you. And anyone who dares to take you away from me-will taste hell from this beast." His eyes burned with a terrifying mix of love, desire, obsession, and madness-emotions she couldn't fully comprehend through the haze in her mind. Overwhelmed by the drug, her body gave out. Just before she collapsed, he caught her in his arms, holding her close like she was the most precious thing in the world. He leaned in close, his lips brushing against her ear, whispering with venomous devotion, "At last... you're mine. Completely. Irrevocably. And I'll destroy anyone who dares to steal you from me." it is a story with obsession, madness love by a mafia lord towards a middle class girl.

It consumes you, blinding you to everything but the object of your desire. In its grip, you lose yourself in the idea of someone, chasing a fantasy that may not even exist. This is the story of two hearts tangled in the delicate dance of affection and obsession, where love is both a dream and a dangerous illusion.
