PROLOGUE; KILLIAN

I’ve always kept my distance. It’s how I survive in this business—cold, calculated, and alone.

I don’t let anyone close enough to matter. But this partnership?

It’s messing with everything.

It was supposed to be simple—an act. Fake chemistry, all for the cameras, a way to boost our image. But somewhere along the way, those lines started to blur.

The world kept spinning—people still breathed, cars still moved, sirens still screamed across the sky—but I stayed still.
