Chapter 1: The Night My Life Exploded

Mom disappeared.
Shadows are everywhere, whispering secrets I don't understand.
And then... two of them.
One: terrifyingly perfect, dark, and impossible to ignore. Claiming he's here to "protect" me, but every glance makes my heart betray me.
The other: dangerously charming, mysterious, and somehow... infuriatingly irresistible. Shadows bend around him like they know he's trouble and yet, I can't look away.
Every heartbeat is chaos. Every second, a choice I'm not ready to make.
Secrets. Danger. Forbidden attraction. And me trying desperately not to die, or fall for either of them.
Who will I trust? Who will I fall for? And who will survive this night... with me?
