Gianna couldn't stand the sight of her father's girlfriend, Darya.
She hated the way Darya always had the upper hand, finding amusement in Gianna's defiance instead of anger.
What started as tension and resentment between them soon spiraled into something darker.
One heated argument led to an unexpected moment that neither could forget-a moment where hate turned into raw, undeniable attraction.
Trapped between anger and lust, Gianna is losing control, and Darya is pushing all the right buttons.

Gianna storms into the living room, her pulse racing as she sees Darya casually lounging on the couch.
"It was a one-time thing, okay? We were both angry, it meant nothing." Gianna says firmly.
"One-time thing? You've said that every time we've been alone since." Darya speaks as she smirks looking up at Gianna.
Gianna's face flushes, her voice faltering for a moment.
"That doesn't...that doesn't change anything." Gianna says.
"Doesn't it? I think it changes everything. I can see the way you look at me now, Gianna. You can't ignore it." Darya speaks as she close the space between them.
"I'm not...I don't..." Gianna takes a step back
Darya gently places a finger under Gianna's chin, forcing her to meet her gaze.
"You can keep pretending all you want, but I know you felt it too. And you're the one who started this." Darya says softly.
"You're with my father. This isn't right." Gianna says as she pulls away, her voice shaking.
"Right or wrong never mattered to you before, did it?" Darya speaks with a sly smile.
Gianna glares at her, but deep down, she knows Darya is right. The line between hate and desire had blurred, and it's only getting harder to resist.
