Xiena Esmarie Sullivan has built her life around discipline and dance - her refuge, her armor, her way to forget. Inside the glass walls of her studio, she controls everything, every movement a shield against the past she refuses to face.
But when Liam Sylvester Estrella walks in - talented, confident, and disarmingly perceptive - her carefully balanced world begins to shift. What starts as professional admiration turns into an unspoken tension, a dance between control and surrender. As their movements intertwine, Xiena is forced to confront the truth she's long buried - that sometimes, the hardest battles aren't fought on stage, but within yourself.

πππππππΌ ππππΎπ'S fury was a storm that broke loose the second she saw her sister go down. Without a second thought, she mistook π πππππ ππΌππΌππΌππ for the culprit and decided he deserved a dose of his own medicine. Grabbing the rugby ball, she launched it back at him with a force that was all raw, righteous anger. Johnny saw her, and in that moment, the entire world outside of her seemed to fade away. He was a boy who lived and breathed the game, but her sheer intensity pulled his attention off the pitch. It wasn't her body he noticed first, but her eyes-the color of whiskey, sharp and defiant, framed by dark lashes that contrasted with the soft, rebellious pink in her hair. He noticed the way she swallowed hard, as if choking down words she couldn't dare to speak, and the way her jaw tightened before she unleashed a snarky remark at his best friend, Gibsie. He was captivated. But he knew, with a certainty that was both thrilling and terrifying, that girls like her came with a warning label. They were the ones who broke you and then laughed as you bled. Still, a dangerous instinct told him that to let her walk away would be a regret he'd carry forever. β± α΄α΄Κα΄ΚΙͺα΄ ΚΚΙͺα΄ Ι’α΄α΄ α΄α΄Κα΄ΚΚ, α΄Κα΄ α΄ΚΙͺΚα΄ α΄κ° α΄ Κα΄α΄ α΄Κα΄κ±κ± α΄κ°κ°α΄ΙͺΚ. α΄Κα΄ α΄Ι΄α΄ α΄‘Κα΄ Κα΄κ± Κα΄α΄Ι΄ Κα΄α΄α΄α΄Ι΄ α΄ α΄α΄‘Ι΄ α΄Ι΄α΄ Ι’α΄α΄α΄α΄α΄ ΚΚ Κα΄Κ α΄α΄‘Ι΄ κ°α΄α΄ΙͺΚΚ. α΄Κα΄ Κα΄α΄Ι΄Ι’ Ι’ΙͺΚΚ α΄‘Κα΄ Κα΄α΄α΄α΄α΄ α΄Κα΄ Κα΄α΄α΄α΄Ιͺα΄ α΄ α΄ α΄Ι’. κ±Κα΄ ΚΙͺα΄α΄κ± α΄ α΄α΄‘Ι΄! κ±Κα΄ α΄α΄α΄κ± Κα΄α΄Κ ΚΚα΄α΄α΄ !
