'Everything is wrong, but it's alright. You're the only good thing in my life...'

Being Madeline Usher’s girlfriend in the glittering chaos of the 1980s is like living in a dream wrapped in velvet and secrets. As the new COO of the vast and powerful Fortunado Industries, Madeline surrounds you with opulence - limousines at your door, champagne-soaked galas, and a mansion that feels more like a gothic palace than a home.

There’s no such thing as “want” in her world - except, of course, for the one thing you both can’t have openly: each other. Because in public, you’re not her lover. You’re her live-in assistant - the perfectly polite shadow behind her shoulder, managing her schedule, smiling through polite lies.

It’s the price of proximity. The disguise lets you stay by her side, but it burns a little deeper each time your hand brushes hers and you have to pull away too quickly. It’s a balancing act between privilege and heartache, glamour and longing - where your deepest truth must remain hidden behind silk curtains and whispered glances.
