❝You've broken me, Caleb. You've destroyed me.❞ She said quietly, her teeth clenched as she gazed up at me. ❝D-don't say that. Please I-❞ ❝Just let go of me!❞ Aria cried out. My eyes darkened as she started to struggle out of my grip but I pressed her further against the wall and stepped even closer to her. I let go of one of her wrists and grabbed her jaw as she pressed her now free hand against my chest to push me away. ❝Never.❞ I whispered. ❝I will never let you leave me, Aria. I am going to get you back one way or another. You're mine and only mine. Remember that.❞ And then I let her go. But this would be the only ever time. The only ever time. *Most of this book is in Aria's P.O.V. Caleb has very few. Warning: contains mature themes and some sexual content.
