Love And Lies

She's chaos in human form-loud laughs, impulsive decisions, and a smile that doesn't know how to be subtle. Aviana is a communications student who lives like the world is a stage and she forgot she's not the only actor on it.

He is silence dressed in elegance. Lucian is control, calculation, and calm authority-an underboss in a world where emotion is a liability and trust is a weakness.

They were never supposed to collide.

But one drunken night in an exclusive lounge changes everything. A careless bump. A careless sentence. And suddenly, Aviana is the only person who looks at Lucian like he isn't untouchable... just interesting.

Lucian should stay away from her. People like Aviana are unpredictable, disruptive-dangerous in ways bullets are not. Yet the more he tries to maintain distance, the more she slips under his control without ever trying to be controlled.

Because Aviana doesn't fall for monsters.

She talks to them.

And Lucian, for the first time in his life, finds himself wanting something he was never built to have-without knowing how to let it go.

In a world built on blood, power, and silence, their connection is the most dangerous thing of all:

Not because it's forbidden.

But because it feels real.
