"Harlan-", I started but he interrupted me.
"Just let me talk please. Just give me a chance. Get to know me just this night and I promise, if you still don't like me, I'll leave you alone"
I hesitated. It sounded great. But the problem was, from what I had seen, it was not going to be very difficult to like him. And I didn't want any one in my life at the moment.
But... what if I spoke to him, and even if he was the most awesome person I had ever met, I would still tell him that I didn't want him around.
Great. That was what I was going to do.
"Fine. An hour. We can finally have those heart to hearts you were talking 'bout", I said and sat on the only chair in the room.
His only response was a smile, a smile that made me rethink my decision. What the fuck was I doing? I gulped. I guess we were going to find out now.
***
Nya has been alone all her life, convinced she doesn't need anybody. Besides, being a whore by night and a college student by day is not an easy task. So, she pushes anyone who dares approach her away, until he comes along. He's persistent, everything she does not want and won't give up until she lets him in. And surprisingly enough, she doesn't regret it.
Harlan is the quiet type. He's got the looks, the charisma and the money. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have skeletons of his own in the closet. When he meets Nya, he is fascinated by her, and tries to save her from whatever she needs saving from. But he discovers that not all princesses need a prince to save them. Some conquer on their own.
Both embark on a journey, where they discover each other's secrets. Secrets so dark they could shatter both of their lives.

Warning‼️This book contains abtruse topics such as Dark love, Abuse, Violence etc. You have been warned. "I thought after 3months of dealing with my anger, when I finally saw you again the desire to skin you alive and add your pretty skin to my collection would have died down." he said camly looking at me. His game on pause for a second. My heart dropped to my feet. My eyes were wandering between him and the items close to him as I blinked the tears away. "Sylas- please. You have to understand-" I felt more scared seeing as his attention was back on the board and not on me. Dying was an exceptional thing for me but death by Sylas I couldn't even begin to imagine. "Sprich nicht."(Don't speak.) His native tongue did something to me. I gulped being unable to look at his eyes even though they were on the chess board. "What did you think was going to happen Mäuschen?" he asked giving me his full attention. Every Fibre in my body wanted to run, my mind was screaming for me to run but I knew that wouldn't get me anywhere, it would just make him more excited. "Lay your hands on the table." he commanded moving the chess board further from him. I now wished he continued with his game. I didn't want all of his attention. I complied to his instruction with trembling hands knowing I had no choice. "Which finger did you use?" he asked casually grabbing the hammer and standing up causing a sob to wreck through me. I harshly bit into my bottom lip to stop the begging that was at the tip of my tongue, I knew he wouldn't listen, he only just wanted his answer but I had no control over my tears. .. She wishes she never met him, but wishes only come true in fairy tales.Complete
