Twisted secrets

Prologue - "A Different Kind of Love Story"

They say inspiration strikes in strange places.
Mine came at 2 a.m., between the final pages of a love story that didn't end the way I thought it would.

It was one of those dangerous stories - the kind where secrets are currency, and love is never safe.

I closed the book with shaky hands and a whisper in my head: I want to live a story like that.

Not because I wanted danger.
But because I wanted someone who'd still choose me after knowing the worst parts of me.

I didn't know then...
That someone had already chosen me.

I didn't know he was watching.
Waiting.
Planning.

And I had no idea that when our lives finally collided,
It would twist everything I believed about love, safety, and secrets.

This is not a story about perfect people.
It's about what happens when two broken pieces find each other - and don't let go.

My name is Lyra.
And this is how I fell in love with a man who was never supposed to be mine.

And how he decided to burn the world to keep me.
