Thank you for picking up this story.
This is a modern setting built with fictional countries and cities, but daily life works much like our world.
The story follows a revenge-driven romance between two men whose connection shifts from desire to something deeper over time. It follows two men whose connection is built on lust, vengeance, and morally gray choices. Early intimacy is fast; emotional closeness is slow.
Themes include trauma, manipulation, past abuse, murder, suicidal thoughts, and past sexual assault. These elements are handled without graphic detail.
My intention is to tell a character-focused, slow-burning journey from lust to trust to love.
This is not a story of heroes. It's a story of people surviving, loving, and breaking in equal measure.
Enjoy the story.
