A decaying city known for its underground clubs, art scenes, and haunting beauty, juxtaposed against the sadness that permeates its streets. The time is modern-day, where technology and despair intermingle.

Lila Hart, a promising art student, has always hidden her turbulent past behind bright colors on canvas. After suffering a devastating personal loss - the brutal murder of her sister - she spirals into a world of grief and self-obliteration. Lila's coping mechanism leads her into the arms of the city's underground art scene where she meets Adrian Black, a brooding, talented artist with his own dark secrets and obsessions.

As Lila and Adrian's connection deepens, they draw closer to the truth behind each other's pain. Adrian carries the scars of childhood abuse from his father, a once-renowned artist whose career was destroyed by addiction. His art is the only way he knows how to express his anguish, but it often teeters on the brink of madness.

She never expected her life to turn out this way, and she's slowly losing herself. ~ What happens when Parker and Bailey's paths cross?

Beneath The Velvet Chains by _just_a_writer_11

𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 (̶D̶a̶r̶k ̶R̶o̶m̶a̶n̶c̶e) He was a man cloaked in power, danger, and secrets-a whispered name in the underworld that everyone feared. Damian Black is as ruthless as he is untouchable, a king in a kingdom built on lies, control, and shadows. No one crosses him. No one dares. Until her. Lila Hart has spent her life running-from her past, her pain, and the mistakes of her father. But when her father's debts lead her straight into Damian's cold, calculating hands, she has no choice but to submit. Trapped in his luxurious yet suffocating world, Lila soon realizes Damian is not the monster the world claims him to be. He's something far more dangerous: a man with a broken heart, a man who will burn the world to protect what's his. The more time Lila spends in Damian's dark orbit, the harder it becomes to resist him. He consumes her, body and soul, but his world is not meant for someone like her. As she unravels the layers of his life, she discovers secrets that could destroy them both-and enemies who are determined to tear them apart. In this game of desire, love, and betrayal, nothing is safe-not their hearts, not their lives, and certainly not their souls.
