Intro. Athena fell in love with Damon at the age of eleven—her older sister's best friend, five years older than her, unreachable, and with a smile that seemed made only to break hearts. She admired him in silence, growing in the shadow of his presence, while he saw only his sister: the chosen one, the perfect one, the woman he swore love for. Years passed. Athena matured, hardened. She learned to silence her heart and hide the pain of seeing it cross her home as part of the family, ignoring what has always been there: her. But everything changes when she turns eighteen. When Damon, already tired of the routine with his sister, begins to see what he previously ignored. It's not love. It is thirst. It's obsession. Damon tries to resist, but it's as if Athena is tailor-made to destroy him. As sweet as it is, as innocent as it is dangerous, it becomes an addiction. Now, he wants her — not like before, but in a possessive, dark, insane way. And Athena, marked by the rejections of the past.
