A Superpower and a Blind Spot
Before she was a vanisher, she was Mia in the moment.
That's what her friends called it. Even as a teenager, Mia had this strange superpower: an uncanny ability to focus, stay calm under pressure, and make decisions without second-guessing herself. Not always the right decisions—but always decisive ones. She could take a gut instinct and turn it into action, whether she was filming a classmate's audition for a stage play or producing a video for someone launching a product. She was so good, it became her profession—and eventually, her own agency.
Most people never knew where Mia in the moment came from.
Even she didn't know.
Because when Mia was a small child, something happened. Something bad. Really bad. Her three- or four-year-old brain wiped it. And no one could tell her the truth—because no one knew it. But somehow, her mind adapted. It built a survival skill so subtle it passed for grace under pressure.
Still, the survival skill that gave her that Mia in the moment clarity also left her with a blind spot: an unconscious fear of intimacy that let her dive into career wins and skim right past romance. Until Aleksanteri Hasapsis decided she was the one.
Her reluctance to look deeply into the past—any past—left her vulnerable to Aleks. Some men are experts at hiding who they are, especially when they see marriage as ownership. Mia learns this the hard way. And it changes everything.
Mia is smart. Athletic. Creative in ways that run deeper than talent—visual storytelling is how she thinks. But she's no superhero. And when Aleks’s control begins to cross dangerous lines, she makes a decision that begins a transformation toward a future built on truth—if she can survive long enough to reach it.
Mia is easy to love. And you won't just watch her run and transform: You'll do both with her.
