"How long has he been hurting you?" There it is. The question I dreaded, but I promised him I would be honest, so I took a deep breath and answered.
"Seven years." I didn't look at him. I waited for him to pull his hand away, to hit me, to say I was disgusting. And as I waited my grip on his hand started to falter.

Disgrace
Celeste Haven Bennett is young, but she's already run out of luck. The black sheep of her family, she was never the strongest, never the favorite-only the most broken. Years of trauma have left her hollow, struggling to escape a past that refuses to loosen its grip. She wants nothing more than to start over, to carve out a life where she isn't defined by the pain she's endured. But fate has never been kind to Celeste. One impulsive night out at the most exclusive club in town puts her directly in the path of Giovanni Romano-a man she has no business being near. He's the kind of danger people whisper about, a man who rules the city with bloodstained hands and an empire built on fear. At twenty-seven, Giovanni has learned the hard way that attachments are a weakness, and Celeste is nothing more than a complication. He doesn't want her in his world, but something about her keeps pulling him back, forcing him to protect her even when he knows better. Neither of them is built for love. Celeste doesn't know how to trust, and Giovanni doesn't know how to care. But in a world where loyalty is a death sentence and monsters lurk in the shadows, they might just be each other's only chance at salvation-if they don't destroy each other first.Complete

Maybe she can finally make him feel taken care of back; the one thing that he's always truly needed. A more mature and healthy rewrite of a book I started writing when I was 14, inspired by the trashy, dramatic, emo love stories I was obsessed with on this platform a decade ago. I was dealing with a lot at the time so I came up with this book idea, where both main characters have dramatized aspects of myself in them, as a way to make myself feel lovable, so writing this now is a nostalgic and creative way of looking back, processing, and letting go of the emotions I was going through as an adolescent. I hope you enjoy! CONTENT WARNINGS include: regular profanity, descriptive sex scenes, minor sexual assault, minor gore, familial abuse, verbal and physical abuse, childhood trauma, tragically orphaned, absentee father, forced maturity, anxiety issues / panic attacks, neglect, starvation, descriptions of thin female body, legal trial of abuser. * Warnings may be edited as I write this. * Any new warnings will be put at the start of the new chapter including them, so don't worry.
