Updating M/W/F until complete on February 13. ---- Silverpine High taught me how to survive by shrinking. Keep your grades up, keep your eyes down, and never give Lydia Crane a clean shot at you.

He was her first heartbreak... and her last obsession. She is childish. He is mature. She is clumsy. He is calm. She is chaos. He is peace. She is silly dreams. He is steady reality. He's my best friend's brother. He understands me too well... which is embarrassing, because he's also caught me sighting and drooling over him more than once. "Stop staring," he says with that smirk-like it's that easy. She's clumsy, always tripping over something-and making me laugh every time. She talks too much, listens even more, and somehow became my free therapist without even realizing it. "Don't ever change," I tell her, because her chaos feels like peace to me.

Charisma Gilbert never believed marriage was meant to be gentle. Forced into a private, heavily guarded union with Camilo Delano-the infamous Second Son-she enters her honeymoon already plotting escape... or murder. Camilo is brilliant, unstable, painfully affectionate, and impossible to read. One moment he is awkward and apologetic, the next unnervingly intense, as if something inside him is always watching, calculating. Their relationship unfolds through power games disguised as trivial moments: chess matches played while drunk, reckless races across volcanic land, tense silences in hot springs, and conversations that circle trauma without ever fully touching it. Charisma is cold, guarded, and razor-sharp; Camilo is clingy, obsessive, and emotionally fractured. Neither trusts the other-yet neither can pull away. As paparazzi close in and secrets surface, the honeymoon becomes a psychological cage. Camilo's father, Dawnafore, lurks behind the scenes, revealing that this marriage was never about love-but control. And when Charisma is hunted, stabbed, and left bleeding in a hotel stairwell, the illusion of safety shatters completely. This is not a love story built on sweetness. It is built on tension, fear, survival-and two broken people slowly realizing that the most dangerous thing isn't each other... ...it's what they're becoming together.
