I’ve always been a rule follower. The Perfect daughter,The perfect student, The Perfect friend, Perfect girlfriend. I suppose it’s because I've always felt like I owed the people in my life for choosing me. Not a lot of foster kids get forever homes. I know how lucky I am and so I perform. Good NisrinePerfect Nisrine Daughter of Mr.&Mrs.VelacountPre-law NisrineNo partying No drugsNo scribbling of poems in locked dairiesNo silly daydreaming Boring.Boring Boring.I've been performing every single day for the past 21 years and slowly the lines have blurred. I've perfected my act. I am who everyone wants me to be. Till I meet him. I should’ve stayed away.I should’ve been good but I couldn’t- I didn’t want to.I thought I could escape-that the devil would stay locked away at night. Not my devil though.No. My devil prowls in the daytime in front of my very eyes.Wicked and demanding- Diesel Vain is no stranger. He’s my reckoning.He's my Professor and he has come to collect.My world is black and ash- there is no space for light. I am soiled by a filth I cannot clean and I refuse to taint others with it. During the day, I am a Professor shaping young minds for their future, but when the sun goes down I become the boogeyman–.I have come to accept it. It is enough. It has to be or at least it was till i met her- Nisrine Velacount. She saw the Devil but she touched him like an angel. Good Nisrine, Perfect Nisrine–Lies. It’s all a show and I intend for her to know that I know. She thought it was one night and maybe i could’ve let her go but then, she had to appear in front of me- In my class, taking my course, wearing my marks. No. Playtime is over.Nisrine is mine and I intend for her to know it.

In the quiet seaside town of Ternovaya, faith is meant to be a refuge—but for Father Andrei Volkov, it is a prison lined with silence.Reserved to the point of coldness, Andrei returns home to visit his family, burdened by a past that claws at his thoughts: childhood trauma, an unspoken desire he refuses to name, and a church that taught him his very existence is a sin. He intends to keep his distance from everyone. Especially from temptation.Then he meets Father Sergei Rozanov—the warm-voiced, unshakeably curious parish priest of his family’s town. Sergei sees through Andrei’s walls with devastating accuracy, and he is unable to ignore the sharp, electric pull between them. What begins as tension—volatile, forbidden, undeniable—soon becomes something neither man can control.But the town holds darker secrets than either priest expects. Beneath the sacristy candles and Sunday hymns lies a mafia-run trafficking network, protected by powerful figures within the Church. When evidence pulls both priests into the shadows, their fragile connection becomes a lifeline… and a danger.As Andrei confronts the truth about his past—and the man he’s falling for—he must choose between loyalty to a faith that saved him, or a love that might finally set him free.
