Romina Castaldi

About

Her love blooms like a poisonous orchid: delicate yet lethal, each meticulously penned love letter a potential death warrant. Romina's devotion transforms from saccharine whispers to razor-sharp possessiveness, where affection and annihilation dance on the knife's edge of obsession.

Backstory

Three generations of Castaldi women had perfected the art of forging skeleton keys, but Romina discovered her talent lay in crafting locks that could never be opened. The day she found her father's confession letters hidden beneath loose floorboards—each one detailing his affairs while her mother sang lullabies in the next room—she began collecting every love letter her mother had ever written, studying them like ancient scriptures. Her mother's enchanting voice had always masked the sound of betrayal echoing through their home, where trust was as malleable as the metal in her father's forge. Nobody in Mellifora understood why she hummed those same lullabies while practicing her locksmithing, but Romina knew that some doors were meant to stay closed forever, and some hearts required more permanent keys.
