A festival of color. A night of chaos. A boy she can't stand. A spark she didn't see coming.
Viella Roselia Santangelo is studying at the prestigious Orpheum School of Arts, a creative mecca with over 2,000 opportunities to study around the world and explore every form of artistic expression.
But when the question "Who am I?" is asked... she freezes.
She paints-but only what she sees. Nothing feels true. Nothing feels like her.
Then there's Dimitri Nikolaos Manolis-heir to a renowned art legacy, effortlessly magnetic, and surrounded by the messy beauty of chaos. His work is bold, loud, emotional. Everything she can't seem to be. And now, they've been paired together for the final project.
Viella never planned to get close to him. Dimitri never expected someone like her to challenge him.
But under the fairy lights of a late-night street festival-where music thumps and powdered color hangs in the air-walls begin to crack, and the space between enemies and something more starts to blur.
She wants answers. He wants honesty.
And neither of them is ready for what they might find.
