THE WAY WE BURN by parklianamabale

They used to be couple back them but they broke up and Serena never meant to fall in love with someone like Demian-cold, obsessive, and dangerous. But somewhere between the stolen roses, locked doors, and nights spent under foreign skies, she forgot where he ended and where she began. He gave her a cage wrapped in velvet. She gave him a heart that didn't know freedom. When a ghost from her past returns, Serena begins to question everything-her choices, her love, and the man who claims to own her soul. But love like theirs doesn't die quietly. It burns, consumes, and leaves nothing untouched. The Way We Burn is a dark, emotional, and unforgettable tale of love that's both toxic and tender. When obsession looks like romance and control feels like safety-can two broken people find peace in each other, or will they destroy what little of themselves they have left
