Her tears were like poetry to him, and every inch of him loved it when she gaze up at him in fear.

Arette was just a normal college student until she stumbled upon Dominic Ferrari, a businessman known for his philanthropy but hiding a far darker side. 

Suddenly, Arette found herself a prisoner in Dominic's mansion, teetering on the edge of death due to his episodes of multiple personality disorder.

However, as she uncovered hidden secrets that could profoundly alter her life, she began to question whether she should stay or leave.

Arette and April were sprawled on Arette's bed, the dim glow of a fancy lamp on the nightstand illuminating their faces. Between them lay a well-worn copy of "Galactic Horizons," a sci-fi novel April had brought to help Arette unwind after the stress of the Annual Showcase performance the previous day.

"But that's what makes it exciting!" April countered, her eyes sparkling. "It's not supposed to be a physics textbook. It's about the thrill, the drama. The Starfleet Commander doesn't have time to worry about inertia when she's dodging plasma blasts!"

Arette rolled her eyes but couldn't help grinning. April had only known her for just a little over two months but already knew her so well.

Unwanted physical contact.
