If it wasn't for you

Adriana Goldstein was known as the sunshine of the castle. Her extroverted personality attracted people, captivating them with her helpful nature and intelligence. With her brown curls and green eyes, she found herself drawing the attention of many guys. However, beneath her sunny exterior lay a deeply wounded person. Her life, since birth, had been burdened with complications, built upon lies and the unspoken truths of her heritage.

Although she was known as sunshine, the beauty of her glow masked a world teeming with darkness.

Mattheo Riddle, on the other hand, was consumed by the darkness within his soul. The dark aura that had surrounded him since childhood was now visible to everyone around him. With dark hair and deep brown eyes, he never failed to stand out in a crowd. His presence was overwhelming and often perceived as threatening. His body bore scars, grim reminders of his painful truth and the reason for his existence. Mattheo's disdain for his own kind was well-known; some swore they had never heard his voice, only seen his sinister expression. Nighttime was the only part of the day when he felt less tense because life within the stone walls was more bearable than any sunshine.

Both Adriana and Mattheo carried burdens of mistakes they had never committed. Their bloodlines were darker and more cursed than the other.

What would happen if these two worlds, both fighting not to drown, were to meet? Would it lead to healing or destruction? Courage or fear? Truth or bitter lies?
