Stella Winters moved to a new town with her single mother, hoping for a fresh start. At 18, she felt lost, struggling to fit in and battling her own struggles. Her new school was no sanctuary; it was a reminder of her past, a place where she felt like an outsider. But then there was him-Mr. Thompson, her teacher. He exuded a charisma that drew her in, igniting something dark and consuming within her. It wasn't just a crush; it became an obsession. She found herself watching him, hanging on his every word, imagining conversations that never happened. As she spiraled deeper into her fixation, the lines blurred between admiration and something far more unsettling. He became an escape from her own reality, a way to feel connected to someone who seemed to understand her pain. But as her obsession grew, so did the risk. The thrill of her secret was intoxicating. Stella knew she was crossing boundaries, but the darker parts of her mind pushed her further, leading her down a path from which there might be no return for both of them.
