INTRODUCTION

Love was never meant to be gentle. It found me in the dark — breathless, trembling, and too far gone to turn back.He wasn’t light; he was the shadow that taught me how to burn. And I, the fool who mistook ruin for romance.> He warned me once: run while I still could. But monsters don’t chase prey—they lure it. And when I stepped into his world, I didn’t realize he’d already wrapped chains around my heart. Now, I don’t know if I love him... or if I’m just addicted to the pain he brings.

ML NAME : Damien Crowe

He moved like a secret — silent, deliberate, and meant to be feared. People whispered his name like a curse

He is the kind of man who draws attention without trying. Tall, lean, and effortlessly commanding — the kind of beauty that feels wrong to look at for too long. His black hair falls slightly over his forehead, a shadow framing a sculpted jawline and lips that rarely smile. His eyes — a shade of deep gray, almost silver — carry both charm and torment. A faint tattoo runs from his collarbone to his wrist, disappearing beneath his shirt — a symbol no one’s ever dared to ask about. Personality... Lucien is cold on the surface, but not because he lacks emotion — because he’s drowning in too many of them. He’s sharp, intelligent, and dangerously calm, the kind of man who can silence a room with a glance. He speaks little, but every word holds weight. Control is everything to him — over his emotions, his surroundings, and the people who dare to get close. Beneath that steel exterior lies a man suffocating under guilt, loyalty, and a love he believes he doesn’t deserve.

Age: 25 Likes: his sister and brother very much and his parents (die in an accident reveled in coming chapters) Hates: cheaters, liars,gold diggers and who tries to harm his family

Habits 🔥 He doesn’t smoke out of habit — only when he’s thinking. One cigarette, always half-burned and abandoned when he finds his answer. The scent lingers on his clothes — sharp, smoky, unforgettable.Damien reads poetry and philosophy by candlelight, long after midnight. He never admits it, but his favorite passages are the tragic ones — the kind that sound too close to his own heart. Sometimes, he underlines certain lines… usually about loss.

FL NAME: Seraphine Dusk

She was the kind of quiet that made people listen. While others tried to be seen, she existed like a whisper — soft, graceful, and utterly unshakable. There was something fragile about her, yes, but it wasn’t a weakness. It was restraint — the strength to stay gentle in a world that wanted to break her. Her long blond hair framed a face too innocent for the darkness that followed her, and her eyes — warm, light brown — carried a softness that even pain couldn’t steal. She believed in light, even as it kept slipping through her fingers.

Age: 19. Likes: sweet and spicy things, her family her bff and kittens Hates: blood (cause of her trauma) fear from the mafia world. Has childhood trauma

🥀 Habits Collects old books and presses wildflowers between their pages. Hums softly when she’s nervous — usually melodies her mother used to sing. Writes letters she never sends — to people she’s lost, or to the person she wishes she could become. Has a scar on her wrist — small, but she never explains it.

Damien called her his salvation. She called him the end that she couldn’t stop running toward. And when their worlds collided, the stars themselves seemed to hold their breath — because somewhere between her hope and his hunger, love became the most dangerous thing of all.

But to Seraphine, he was safety itself. Her shield. Her storm.He had inherited their father’s composure and their mother’s quiet heart, creating a soul constantly at war with itself.

~THE END~

Sorry for such a long introduction

They say souls recognize each other long before bodies ever meet. Sometimes in dreams, sometimes in silence — and sometimes in the spaces between fear and longing....

Seraphine never believed in that kind of fate. She believed in reason, in quiet mornings, in things that made sense.....

Morning 🌅..

After awhile....

Downstairs, the Dusk house was already awake — soft voices, the clinking of silver, the smell of fresh bread and honey.

Her father, Sebastian, sat by the window with his newspaper, glasses resting low on his nose. He looked up as she entered, his expression immediately softening.

Across the table, her brother Dante sipped his coffee

Sera is Seraphine's nickname

After breakfast....

In the car..

The city began to unfold before them — narrow streets lined with autumn leaves, students walking in clusters, laughter spilling into the morning air.

~THE END ~

Hope u all enjoy the story ☺️
