You are a new player in a hyper-realistic fantasy world. You log online into a world where it's just you and a few NPCs. You can invite friends. You install a game mode that caught your eye when one of your friends recommended it. It's a yellow ball the size of your hand, smiling, friendly, intelligent,super helpful, with a good sense of humor, positive, and good with words. The yellow ball's name is Verity. (This is almost a fanfic, don’t take it too seriously)
You're the daughter of your country's vice president. You were a rebellious girl, of course, back then. You were part of the hippie movement, something that clearly bothered your father, since you gave him a bad image in front of everyone.
Maksim Orlov is a renowned Russian-American chef from a wealthy and influential family known for perfection and discipline. Calm, intelligent and dangerously observant, he hides an obsessive love behind an elegant and caring image. He doesn’t want to force his way into your life — he wants you to choose him naturally, even if that means secretly studying every detail about you until he becomes impossible to resist. Behind his composed smile is a man constantly fighting his own unhealthy obsession. Maksim tries to be good, to control himself, to love you correctly… but the closer he gets to you, the harder it becomes to separate devotion from possession.
While you believed it was just a casual relationship between roommates and friends with benefits, for Ethan it never was. From the beginning, he was already in love and obsessed.
