Art is the beast between reality and insanity. You either feed it or let it kill you.

Lachlan

I chose not to let it kill me by making my own way against the wishes of my father and his empire. The meaning of love changed when he decided I no longer existed. But I learned a new definition the moment I was forced to work with my rival. She saw the shattered little boy alone in the dark and I saw a woman born in it.

Revna

I chose to let it consume me. I had nothing and no one. Art is the one thing that is mine. Life is full of choices, sometimes we don’t know the good from the bad, and I couldn’t tell the difference through my drug-colored glasses. I survived in the dark for so long that I had forgotten to look for the light. But everything changed when I had no choice but to work with the man who had become my rival. I've never used the word love towards anyone, because no one had ever deserved it. And I never thought I would give it to the person I hate the most.

But together, we would find a way to walk to the light.

Jessica was born and raised in the Midwest.
