"à la folie."
"Η Πείνα μου, η Καταστροφή μου, η Σεσίλιά μου."
In this vintage fanfic...
In Gotham, appearances are currency, and Cecilia has spent years becoming priceless.
The city's golden girl, all platinum hair, designer heels, and a flawless Porsche, she's infamous for dating Gotham's wealthiest men and throwing tantrums when life dares to inconvenience her. Spoiled. Shallow. Untouchable. That's exactly what she wants everyone to believe. Because beneath the polished façade is a woman who clawed her way into a world that was never meant to let her in, hiding a past that could reduce everything she's built to ashes.
Then her Porsche dies in the middle of Crime Alley.
The last person she expects to meet is Jason Todd, a foul-mouthed mechanic with oil-stained hands, a permanent scowl [but a devastatingly handsome face], and absolutely no interest in entertaining another rich girl's attitude. Their first meeting ends in insults. Their second isn't much better. Somehow, hatred turns into obsession, obsession into something darker, until they're trapped in a relationship fueled by bruised pride, explosive arguments, and a devotion neither of them can explain.
In a city where every shadow hides a secret and every smile conceals a lie, the truth always comes collecting.
When the carefully buried secret behind Cecilia's life finally resurfaces, it threatens to destroy not only her carefully crafted identity but the fragile bond she's forged with the one man who refuses to be fooled by appearances. As Gotham closes its jaws around them, Jason and Cecilia are forced to decide whether love can survive betrayal, blood, and the ghosts neither of them ever escaped.
Because in Gotham, monsters don't always wear masks.
Sometimes they wear diamonds.
And a tower of lies, supposedly unlimited and strong willed is shattered.
"For insanity."
"My Hunger, my ruin."
