Arlie arrives in Prague with one goal: Escape.
After a past she refuses to name. She escapes to another country for her master's degree, seeking a fresh start. No chaos. No one controlling her.
On her first day she meets her roommates: loud, fearless and unfieltered. Through them, she crosses paths with Matyáš Dvořák during an after party : a star hockey player known for his recklessness and coldness.
From the start, they clash. He is everything she's spent her life avoiding: impulsive, dangerous, magnetic and she is everything he refuses to admit he needs: self-assured, unflinching, untouchable... the one person who refuses to fit into his control.
What begins as tension quickly sharpens into obsession, into games neither of them knows how to stop playing. But when a calculated betrayal drags Arlie into the public eye, turning her privacy into a spectacle, his darkness becomes something else entirely.
As lies unravel and loyalties are tested, Matyáš must confront his own history of abandonment to protect the girl he can't stop yearning for, while Arlie must decide whether control is protection or another kind of prison.
In a city where love is dangerous, trust is fragile and revenge is tempting... choosing each other might cost them everything.
Or save them.

I glanced at both of them before holding his glare with my own. He was giving me a cold stare, caging me in like an animal. I bit my lip, trying to hold it back. I was never good in situations like these. He stopped leaning forward when his face was just inches from mine. He was trying to make me uncomfortable. Trying to scare me, but he didn't. I wasn't scared of him. I didn't hide my face or get nervous... I just bit my lip harder, trying to hold it in. It would just make things worse for me, I bet. He kept his eyes on mine as I glanced at his friend behind him with his arms crossed and a bored expression on his face. I looked back at the man in front of me. "You shouldn't act that way around me." He says coldly. "I can have you dead right-" I couldn't hold it in. I started laughing. He leans back, shocked, but his face goes into a glare as soon as his friend behind him perks up, watching, interested now. I calm down a little. "I'm sorry." I say, catching my breath. "Continue, Continue." He watched me closely before leaning closer to me again. "I can have you killed-" Suddenly, I lost it again, laughing harder, bending a little to hold my stomach. He punched the wall in an effort to scare me but instead made me laugh even harder, falling to the ground and rolling on my side. Soon I had his friend laughing with me as the man in front of me glared at both of us. "Don't give me that look. She's the one who started laughing." His friend said, wheezing a little bit and trying to stop laughing. I calmed down a bit, standing up to face them, a smile on my face. "Now, if you're done threatening me," I raise an eyebrow. "Or at least trying to. I'll be on my way." With that, I grabbed my backpack, turned my back to them, and walked away.Complete
