Glass and Steel

Two heirs. Two empires. One city where old money meets new power, and the skyline belongs to whoever is ruthless enough to claim it.

Matias is the son everyone talks about for the wrong reasons. He shows up late, leaves early, and spends more time leaning against expensive cars in parking garages than sitting in board meetings. He is sharp, brutally intelligent, and deeply uninterested in proving it to anyone.

Matias is not cruel, just cold. Guarded. The kind of person who says exactly what he thinks with zero filter and lets the silence do the rest.

Aurora has been groomed for greatness since she could walk. The Sinclairs don't just expect success from her - they expect flawlessness. And Aurora delivers it, every single time, because the alternative was never an option.

Aurora is warm, driven, and quietly exhausted. She has spent her entire life being everything everyone needs her to be. She has no idea who she is when no one is watching.

She is infuriated by him. He doesn't perform, doesn't try, doesn't pretend - everything Aurora has been conditioned to do, Matias simply refuses.

Aurora thinks Matias is reckless and irresponsible. Matias thinks Aurora is a perfectly decorated prison cell. They are both right. They are both wrong.

The more time they are forced to spend together, the more the cracks begin to show. He starts showing up. She starts slipping. And somewhere in between his gruffness and her grace, something neither of them planned for begins to grow
