phienruple

In a world where dreams are painted in betrayal and broken hearts, she is the canvas everyone wants to claim.

Liora Solene thought art academy would be her escape — a place where she could finally leave behind the ghosts of a painful childhood. Instead, she finds herself tangled in a dangerous love triangle:

A charming musical theatre major who promises freedom but hides his own wounds.

A quiet film director who sees her as both muse and masterpiece.

And a vengeful ex-boyfriend who refuses to let her go—even if it means destroying everything she builds.

As secrets unravel and lies stack higher, Liora must fight to protect her art, her future, and, most of all, herself.

In the end, the hardest choice isn’t between them.
It's between who she was and who she dares to become.

The Art of Greedy: My Heart Wants Them All!

I thought I would meet some children, maybe see a classroom or two, maybe hear laughter echoing through the halls. But I don't think I can do it today.

I've been here for fifteen minutes already. Sitting, crying. Breathing through it. And still, I feel like a balloon pulled too tight—ready to burst at a whisper.

The orphanage smells like disinfectant and old wood, the faint sweetness of something floral—maybe someone's cheap perfume or laundry detergent. It wraps around me like an old blanket I don't want to wear again. Familiar, but not comforting.

Elliot stands quietly beside me now. He doesn't speak. Doesn't try to fill the silence. He just ... stays. Present. Keeps me grounding. I don't know if I can make this far without him.

"It's okay," I whisper. Maybe to myself, maybe to the hallway. "It takes time."
