Maria’s work as a caregiver at a residential facility for people with disabilities takes a thrilling turn when she meets Alex, a paraplegic resident. Despite the challenges of their situation, they embark on a forbidden and unconventional romantic relationship, fueled by their inexperience with sex and the intensity of their connection. As their relationship deepens, Alex‘s demands become increasingly overwhelming, leaving Maria feeling conflicted and torn. When Alex humiliates her, Maria‘s desperation reaches a boiling point. The story explores the complexities of love amidst dependencies, showing how the very factors that brought them together make it almost impossible for them to truly connect. This powerful and thought-provoking story delves into the nature of love, power, and desire, and the struggles that arise when these forces collide in the context of an unconventional relationship.
