Or am I bound to give myself to him and only him? __________________ Spoiler:~ "Why are you reacting like this? Don't you care about my affairs anymore?" He asked as I felt his face nuzzling in between my neck and shoulders, sending me a jolt of electricity inside of me. I didn't answer him as I kept myself quiet and pretended to sleep. But suddenly, he retracted himself and shoved off my quilt that was covering me, and harshly turned me on my back. My eyes flew open in rage as I was about to burst on him, when I meet a pair of intimidating eyes that belonged to none other than this trash Alex. "Your heart changed, didn't it? Who is it?"

The city of Ember Hollow was alive, bustling with secrets that danced through the streets like whispers in the night. Everyone knew who controlled it all-the mafia boss, Kade Alistair. Ruthless, sharp-eyed, and powerful, he ruled the underground with a fist of iron. His name alone made men tremble and women disappear behind closed doors. But to the outside world? Kade was nothing more than a shadow, lurking just behind the veil of ordinary life. Kade had his own rules, his own empire. He didn't care about the outside world of kindness and naivety. All that mattered was power, control, and keeping his enemies in line. A cold-hearted king, untouchable, invincible. On the other side of the city, Elara Blake lived a different kind of life-one filled with light. She moved through the world with soft steps, kind words, and a gentle heart. Elara worked at the local flower shop, her days filled with the sweet scent of roses and the warmth of sunlight filtering through glass windows. She was the kind of girl who smiled at strangers and found joy in the smallest moments, unaware that her peaceful world was built on the foundations of darkness she couldn't see. Ember Hollow was a world divided. Kade's shadows ruled the night, while Elara's kindness bloomed in the daylight. Two worlds, completely separate, completely unaware of the other's existence...Complete
