But one ill-fated night she ran into the man who took her back to her memories. His presence itself stirred nerves. Although it seemed like an ill-fated run-in with their past she didn't know he was hunting for the girl he longed for all this time. And when he found her, he was quite reluctant on letting her slip off his hold. He was much more different than the boy she once knew and this time she could not get away. ************ ' You can do as you wish Isla but you cannot run away from me.' Her hand stills his clutches as she struggled against his hold in vain. Her eyes stared back at the man with who she denied having feelings for once. 'You scare me Jaxson' She whispered still struggling with his hold on her wrists. He smirked pulling her flush against his chest and laying his lips on hers. ********** #Rewritten #abusive content #18 +
