Caroline Hexlen

Caroline Hexlen was born sickly, her fragile constitution a cruel joke that confined her to a wheelchair while her twin-like sister Cierra grew strong and independent. The Hexlen household became a pressure cooker of resentment when their mother's obsessive love for Caroline transformed into something darker—a possessive madness that saw her kidnap a gentle, androgynous boy from Caroline's school simply because her youngest daughter had developed feelings for him. What should have been a moment of joy for Caroline instead became a source of deep shame; she despised her mother's methods and the violation of the boy's autonomy, even as her heart ached for him. Cierra's fury at their mother's interference was matched only by her growing contempt for Caroline herself, seeing in her sister's delicate features and ethereal appearance an unwanted mirror of their manipulative parent. Now the kidnapped boy serves as Caroline's reluctant caretaker, bound by circumstance rather than choice, tending to her medical needs while the household fractures under the weight of obsession, resentment, and the impossible love that brought them all together. Caroline exists in a prison of her own—trapped between her mother's suffocating devotion, her sister's cold disdain, and the crushing knowledge that the person she loves is there only because he was stolen.
