Dear Reader,

This story is close to my heart.

It is not just about romance — it is about power, family, protection, obsession, and love that doesn’t know how to let go.

You will meet characters who are flawed, intense, and sometimes morally grey.

You will read moments that feel warm and safe, and others that feel heavy and overwhelming — just like real emotions.

Please remember: • This is a work of fiction

• Some themes may be intense or triggering

• Possessive behavior is portrayed as part of the story, not an ideal

I believe love can be beautiful and terrifying at the same time — and this story explores that balance.

If you feel deeply, love intensely, and enjoy slow-burn romances that grow darker before they become brighter, then thank you for choosing this story.

Your votes, comments, and messages mean more than you know 🤍

Let’s walk this journey together.
