Under His Gaze is a haunting, lyrical descent into obsession, beauty, and the quiet unraveling of identity. When Amara flees a life of betrayal, she seeks stillness in a sleepy town-but instead finds herself caught in the intoxicating orbit of a reclusive artist whose devotion runs deeper-and darker-than she ever imagined.
In this psychological slow-burn of art, control, and reclamation, Under His Gaze explores what it means to be seen-and what it costs to be turned into someone else's masterpiece.
She came looking for quiet. She found him instead.
Not every gaze is admiration-and not every muse survives the masterpiece.
Sometimes, the cage doesn't have bars; it has brushstrokes.
This is my first story ever!!
