My twin sister, Arabella is ALWAYS the lucky one.
Pretty looks, high GPA, gets all the boys she wants in a snap of a finger, loved and admired by everyone, never gets into trouble, amazing at every single sport. She's also good example of a perfect daughter. Mom and dad love and spoil her all the time. In everyone's eyes, she's like a goddess or an angel who just fell out of the sky. She was just...perfect.
And then, there's me, Avalon Parker.
Arabella always told me that I was the one who had the perfect life.
Which sounds like a joke to me.
My life is just plain and boring. Nothing special really happens. Unlike, my sister, I don't have pretty looks (even if my mom says that I do...isn't that what moms say to their daughters when they feel insecure?). I don't have the most outstanding grades. I rarely get into trouble but not never. There are haters out there who just hate my guts for no apparent reasons. And lastly, I don't get all the boys I want in a snap of a finger.
Does that sound like I have a better life than Arabella?
No?
Yeah, I thought so.

Between nightmares, panic attacks, insomnia, and more, she starts hating this town she cherishes so much and everything that brings her memories. That's why she decided to leave and never come back again, at least until she is in a better state. After three years in France, she is back in her childhood town and decided that she will chase away her demons for good. She knows that she can't do it alone, she needs her family and her friends. And perhaps she will find peace and maybe more with the most unexpected person for her. *** "You're important to me, V. You're my first everything, and I don't want anyone else."

How did he find us? My body violently flinched when Elliott laughed. It was a deep, low baritone that vibrated through the floorboards of the plane and struck a chord of primal terror in my chest. My back collided with Levi's chest behind me as I stumbled back. It was over. The realisation made my blood turn to ice. He had found me and I was entirely at his mercy now. "I am deeply wounded by your reaction, my love. Truly, why are you so afraid?" Elliott uncoiled from his seat with a slow, predatory grace. He stood at his full, imposing height, casually smoothing the lapels of his charcoal black suit. An amused half-smile played on his lips that didn't reach the absolute void of his emerald eyes. "I haven't even started with you yet." He murmured, his voice dropping into a dark warning as he stepped out from behind the seat, closing the distance between us. "Save those pretty tears for later, hm? You are going to need them." ▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎ #1 in Captive #2 in CEO #2 in Forcedlove #2 in Italian #2 in Mafiaboss #2 in Character development #3 in Darkromance #3 in Fear #3 in Panicattacks #4 in Manipulation #4 in Plottwist #7 in Billiona

"Something you want to ask me?" he asks, amused. "Nope," I pop the 'p' sound and don't even spare him a glance. My eyes are transfixed on the city lights and the cool air. "The curiosity prevalent in your eyes begs to differ," Cole states. When did his vocab become so fancy-smancy. No Ara. You will not engage in any conversations with him, I firmly tell myself. "Well, Curiosity killed the cat and I for one do not want to take any chances," I glance at him and his smile is so broad and sends tingles all up and down and all around my spine.

"Are you sure you're one of the girls? You seem like a spy to me. Are you spy, Arabella?" My name rolled of his tongue perfectly and I stood completely still as he took another step closer to me.
