[on hold due to personal reasons - will return Jan 2027] Helena Papadakis is a 19-year-old Greek violinist preparing to begin her bachelor's degree in performance in Germany. Raised in a lower middle-class household, she grew up in an environment shaped by financial strain, limited horizons, and a quiet disregard for the arts. Her family -- well-meaning but ignorant of her ambitions -- never truly understood her devotion to music, viewing it as impractical and indulgent. For Helena, this is a chance to escape. To make a name for herself. To become the best. To win. To ensure her success, she makes a single promise: no distractions. That promise is tested sooner than expected when Helena meets Clara Schwarz, Germany's star violinist, and her most formidable rival.

Valeria didn't rush. She never did. Inez was pinned beneath her, wrist locked overhead, the hold precise and impersonal. Not pain. Control. Inez scoffed anyway. "That's it?" she sneered. "I've had tutors scarier than you." Valeria said nothing. The silence pressed in. "You don't scare me," Inez added, louder. Brattier. "You just-" "Enough." One word. Flat. Final. Valeria lifted Inez's chin with two fingers, detached as a correction. "Look at me," she said coolly. "If you're going to embarrass yourself, do it properly." Inez laughed, brittle. "You think this makes you powerful?" "I don't think," Valeria replied. "I decide." Her gaze never wavered. "You provoke because it's the last control you have." "I don't belong to you," Inez snapped. Valeria leaned in, voice razor-thin. "You are my wife. You belong to consequences." She released her grip. "Say it." "No." Valeria waited. The quiet broke Inez, she hated being ignored. "...I'll behave, I'll be a good girl" Inez muttered. "Specify." Inez swallowed hard. "...I'll be your good girl" Valeria stepped back, already distant. "Good," she said. "Remember why." #1 older women-13th February (FAST PACE BOOK)
