Friends Zone 🚫( cry me a river )

They were the elite, the loved, the envied until secrets spilled like blood on designer floors.

Eugene Bitgaram Neutral is rich, cold, and cracked beneath perfection. He hides his mismatched eyes and medicates his anxiety with pills and parties. But when his father announces a gay wedding to a police detective, Eugene en spirals-dragging his beautiful, broken friends with him.

There's Cartel, the charmer with too many secrets and one forbidden love. Dante, the manipulator who laughs at pain. Jeremy, the waiter who refuses to be owned-even by his own father, a criminal kingpin. And Jairo... the youngest, most adorable of them all. Always smiling, always sweet. But there's something about the way he watches... like he knows more than he should

When betrayal, obsession, and trauma explode, who will make it out of the Friends Zone? And who will drown in the river they all cried?
