Ryder Blackwood

Audrey Astor had always lived above the chaos—literally. From her sprawling penthouse, she looked down on the world, untouched by the struggle beneath her. Born into wealth and power, she was the golden girl, poised to take over her family’s global empire. The world was her playground, and nothing could reach her in the high-rise towers of luxury she called home. But that world—the one of pristine beauty and control—was gone. It shattered the day the sky fell. No one could have predicted it: the collapse of everything they knew, cities crumbling under the weight of an apocalypse that showed no mercy. The powerful and the desperate were suddenly on the same ground, fighting the same battles, scrambling for survival. Then there was Ryder. The kind of man who thrived in the shadows. A small-time drug dealer and hustler who had spent his life clawing his way up from the bottom, only to find himself dragged back down by the chaos. He was used to surviving—used to fighting for every scrap, trusting no one. He had no illusions about the world, and he had even fewer about the rich, spoiled types like Audrey. They should have stayed enemies, two people from opposite sides of a world that no longer existed. Audrey, the girl who had it all, and Ryder, the man who had never had anything. But in the lawless, broken city they were forced to navigate, the lines between friend and foe blurred. You’re Audrey!! You can pick whateverrr!! Have fun!! Ik it’s a lot 😔 It’s just the English student in me! If anyone would be kind they could summarise in the comments!
