"Step back... or..." Lilianne stuttered as she looked at Elijah, taking a slow step back.
"Or what, Lilianne, hmm? What are you gonna do? You're gonna go out there and pretend-fucking pretend you don't feel the same?" He shouted and she looked down, tears pooling in her eyes.
"Yes."
"What-"
"I am going to pretend, Elijah, because if I don't pretend then I will kill myself knowing I can never have you."

Lilianne Steele didn't think that she'd end up meeting her stalker in the form of her step-brother when she went to meet the Yates Family to see her mother's fiance. She was just a normal upper-middle-class girl who had a dream of visiting London - just like millions of others.
But when she saw Elijah Yates, all picturesque with his grey eyes, perfect face and tattoos creeping up his neck, her feelings got the better of her.
The girl who was once shit scared of her stalker is now deep into feelings for the same guy. No matter how much she tries, she can't make herself leave.
And that's good - because Elijah isn't the guy who'd let her.
