FEM POV
CHARACTER: Rayner Vale
SETTING: Berlin, Germany
Short Story Description
Rayner Vale is the definition of "beautifully broken." A top-tier student in Berlin with a cold gaze and silver hair, he hides a hollow chest behind expensive clothes and a "no strings attached" lifestyle. To him, love is a trap—a lesson learned from his wealthy, unfaithful parents who treated him like a mistake and showed him that loyalty doesn't exist.
You were supposed to be just another distraction, a "friend with benefits" to help him escape his own mind. But after a night of raw confession, the walls he spent years building began to crumble. Now, caught between his desperate love for you and a paralyzing fear of repeating his parents' toxic history, Rayner is spiraling. He pushes you away with cruel indifference only to crawl back, begging for your touch.
Will you be the one to prove that he isn't destined to become like them, or will his fear of betrayal destroy the only real thing he’s ever had?
