"Growing up, my mother always told me one thing; bad company corrupted good morals. I didn't believe her, didn't believe those words she'd always said to me with such conviction. I'd always thought myself strong, always thought myself good enough to corrupt those bad morals. That was until I crossed paths with a man so lethal, a man so utterly consumed with darkness. And gradually, his words of poison would lace my system, dilute my sanity and leave me begging at his feet for more..." It was hate at first sight... I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE IMAGES USED IN THIS BOOK.

He lifted my head up with his finger and smiled softly at me. "Break up with him, and be with me. I know fucked up in the beginning, but I can fix it." "No, I'm with Andrew. You can't just tell me what to do." I stated. His smile vanished from his face and he slammed me against the wall. My eyes grew wide when I seen his fist come flying towards me, I ducked before it could connect with my face. He growled and yanked me up by my hair. "Things like this makes me go mad! Don't you see Dawn I like you, but-but you just won't give me a chance, Why?!" "You're crazy." I spat. "I'm aware, but you don't fully know the real me." "You're right I don't, but you won't let me because you never talk about yourself." "The only thing you should know about me is that...I'm crazy." He gripped my chin roughly, placing a kiss on my lips. He pulled away, chuckling darkly. "I'm so fucking crazy, I can be your worse nightmare." Readers discretion is advised.

ORIGINALLY WRITTEN in 2016 SOFT EDITING AS OF July 10th, 2025 -------- ~BOOK 1~ "Oh, come on. Don't tell me you mad. I was just joki..." And before he could finish, I hit him upside his head with one of the couch pillows. I couldn't help but smile and laugh at the face he was giving me. "Did you just hit me?" His face going from shocked to a devilish grin. I knew that look to well. He started walking closer, I backed up. Oh shit, should I run. He's closer, I step back more. I notice him looking me up and down. Did he just lick his lips!? "What are you doing? I'm sorry." A smile now on my face, I step back again, only to feel my back hit the wall. Damn! I look down trying to think of which way to run. Before I could look up, I saw an all too familiar shadow at my feet. "Why did you hit me Kaya?" My smile left for a few seconds and came back once I looked up directly into his eyes. He was dangerously close. So close. If I was to flinch our lips would touch. "Cuz I can. Is there a problem... D'mitri?" I say. Still looking in his eyes.
