Some shadows are meant to follow you...
Lila lives in light. Her laughter fills rooms, her warmth draws people close, and she believes in the beauty of ordinary days-until a stranger with stormy eyes and a dangerous silence crosses her path.
Cassian is a man of secrets, a brooding shadow in the corners of her world. He doesn't smile, he doesn't explain, and yet he makes her heart race in ways she can't name.
Drawn together by a force neither can control, their connection is magnetic, consuming, and terrifying. Lila must navigate the line between desire and danger, between the life she knows and the darkness that threatens to claim her entirely.
In a game of obsession, trust is fragile, and love... can be lethal.

Crimson Obsession
Lila is a quiet yet deeply disturbed high school girl, harboring an intense obsession with her classmate Gabriel. Her feelings for him are all-consuming, and she believes they are destined to be together, despite their lack of connection. Gabriel, popular and kind-hearted, is oblivious to Lila's fixation, often surrounded by other girls who are drawn to him. As Lila's infatuation grows, so does her paranoia. Every time another girl gets close to Gabriel, Lila sees it as a threat to their bond. Her once shy and withdrawn nature starts to twist into something darker, as she begins to sabotage any girl who seeks his attention. Subtle at first, her acts of cruelty escalate-manipulating and turning violent. When a few of the girls who dare to get too close to Gabriel mysteriously disappear, rumors swirl about the strange coincidences surrounding their disappearances. Lila, consumed by jealousy and desperation, feels invincible in her pursuit of Gabriel, believing that each act of violence brings them one step closer to fate. But as her actions become increasingly erratic, the line between love and madness blurs. Lila's obsession spirals out of control, and the school starts to close in on her, unaware of the extent of her twisted affection. In a world where her heart rules her every move, Lila is willing to sacrifice everything-including her own humanity-to make Gabriel hers.Compleet

"Afraid of me? Why are you so afraid, princess?" He placed his hand on the wall next to her head, effectively trapping her between his body and the cold stone. "I'm not afraid of you," she lied, her voice steady despite the tremble in her hands. "I'm not afraid of anything." He chuckled darkly. "You should be." His lips barely brushed against hers in a tantalizingly soft touch. She froze on the spot, her legs refusing to move. He took advantage of her daze, closing the remaining gap and crushing his lips against hers.Compleet

"The Anatomy of Obsession"
When love turns surgical, every heartbeat is a dissection. Elena Graves lives quietly, a gentle soul tucked between the margins of her books. She teaches literature at the university, content with a life made of pages, candlelight, and silence. To her students, she is thoughtful, precise, unknowable. To Lilith Wren, she is everything. Lilith is brilliant, beautiful, and broken - a woman whose devotion curdled long ago into fixation. What began as admiration became ritual. What began as love became pathology. She watches Elena with the hunger of a starving saint, convinced that only she can protect her - even if it means erasing everyone who dares to get too close. As the city trembles under a string of unexplainable disappearances, Elena begins to feel eyes on her, petals left at her door, a familiar perfume lingering where no one should be. Yet beneath her fear blooms something dangerous: fascination. The tenderness in Lilith's madness speaks to the loneliness in Elena's heart, and soon their connection spirals into something neither can control - or survive. The Anatomy of Obsession is a psychological descent into love's darkest mirror - where affection becomes violence, devotion becomes disease, and two women discover that obsession isn't the opposite of love... it's its purest form.
