"You are the worst. You are the worst person I've ever made. You are just a selfish and harsh man who thinks he controls every single thing and I- I wish never to cross paths with you again"
Klara panting as she started to realise tears began to well in her eyes.
"You stated nonsensical stuff like that, knowing.." Lukas took a few steps towards her, trapping the dark haired woman against the wall. The icy blue eyes stared into her eyes, making it was bizarre that she couldn't look away and trapped in his gaze.
"Your eyes definitely said otherwise."

ASHES OF YOU
"Some betrayals can be forgiven. This one cannot." Lukas was a ghost. Buried. Forgotten. Erased. Until now. Serena Hawthorne built her life on a lie-one that kept her safe, powerful, untouchable. But the past has sharp edges, and when it returns, it doesn't knock. It tears through the walls, leaving no escape. Because Lukas is back. He doesn't want apologies. He doesn't want suffering. He wants control. And he will take it. What begins as a calculated game of vengeance soon turns into something far more dangerous. Hate tastes like desire. Obsession feels like fate. Every touch, every whispered command, every cruel smirk pulls her deeper into the trap-until she can't tell if she's lost in him or if she wants to be. But Lukas isn't here for pleasure. He's here to destroy her. And when he's finished, there will be nothing left. No mercy. No escape. Nothing but ashes.
