I heard slow footsteps approaching. Soon, a pair of black shoes stopped in front of me. I slowly looked up and met the devil himself. His face was completely emotionless, and I gulped nervously while staring into his cold eyes. He stepped closer, and before I could react, his fist slammed into my face. I didn't even see him move. Pain shot through my cheek instantly as tears rolled down my face. I stared at him in shock, my body trembling. "Next time you utter my name," he muttered coldly, "you'll end up in a hospital." Then he walked away without another glance. I collapsed onto the floor, my entire body aching. I didn't understand why Ryan hated me so much. I had never done anything to him, yet he always found ways to make me feel small and worthless. All I wanted was a peaceful life. ♥️♥️♥️ Marven was constantly bullied by Ryan and his friends. She was just a normal teenage girl who wanted nothing more than a peaceful life. But what happens when Ryan suddenly becomes her next-door neighbor? What is the real reason behind his hatred toward her? And what secrets is Marven still completely unaware of?
