They met at an art convention.
Emily Alden - literature student, quietly curious, always searching for something that felt like more.
Jace - a reclusive freelance painter with hands that made beauty out of stillness and eyes that saw what others missed.
He loved her like she was sacred.
Treated her like a relic.
Adored her in silence and in shadow.
But Jace was a man made of secrets.
Haunted. Protective. Possessive.
He never let her leave.
He said the world outside didn't understand art like he did.
Then came the fight.
Then the silence.
Then... the other girl.
And everything changed.
Some loves are tender.
Some are toxic.
Some last for as long as you stay.

Sloane Rivera didn't come to Stonehurst University to get involved in its toxic royalty. She came to finish her degree, keep her head down, and move on from the wreckage of her past.

Beneath His Pen
Somewhere between longing and lunacy, he found her. Not in a dream. Not in a poem. But in the corner of a café, alone with a book and the kind of silence only broken souls understand. She didn't look at him. Not even once. And maybe that's why his fingers trembled around the pen for the first time in years. Lyra Selena. He didn't know her name yet. But he would. Oh, he would. Because Lucien Vale didn't write for the world anymore. He wrote for her. About her. To her. And if the ink bled too deep-if obsession laced the edges of every verse- then so be it. The world called him a genius. She would call him something else entirely. --- "Tell me, little muse ..." "Will you run before the story ends?" ---Complete

She hated the spotlight. He lived in it. She was just the quiet girl with perfect grades. He was power wrapped in charm. Rich beyond belief. An heir to a name powerful enough to open any door and shut any mouth. Nobody knew her secrets, hidden behind glass smiles and a shine so bright. Nobody knew his darkness, worn like a crown. That was bowed before. He didn't shine, he burned. Selena didn't know what she was getting into. It was her sister's friend. It was a harmless crush. A fantasy. A look. But then, he looked back. Now he wants her. To claim. To possess. To destroy and rebuild until there's nothing left of her that isn't his. He'd bleed, hurt -- burn down the world to have her. She wanted to belong. He wanted her to belong to him.
He waits in the dark
Every night someone touches her skin - passionately, tenderly, almost lovingly. There can't be anyone in the empty apartment.... But she feels him. Afraid. And longs to feel those bold touches again. Fear mixed with sweet anticipation. Who is he? And what will happen when the secret is out?Complete
