I've always been rebellious; wanting to do things that people around me don't agree with. I guess that made me feel liberated from my past, from everything that surrounded me. I think your past makes up a big part of who you are, it's that part of you that you grow into and remain like that.
I've never had anything easy at all. It's always been hard on me. It's been so hard every part of me has been broken into a million pieces beyond repair. I tried to become better but turns out I failed because I'm falling and I can't stop falling but this time I'll fight. I will not go down without a fight.

He pulled out his gun from his jacket making me fire at his arm and he dropped it screaming even louder while begging me to stop.
"I asked you to stop too didn't I? I begged and cried but you never stopped. Why should I?"
I fired at his other leg. "I don't want to kill you, I want to cripple you. You scarred my body now I'm going to return the favor. Every time you'll look in the mirror you'll remember me Jack like I do you."

101 Ways To Tame A Rockstar
Kai sat at the edge of the bed, jaw tight, big hands wrapping gauze around my split knuckles. He was too careful, too quiet- the type that comes right before a storm rips through you. I woke up halfway through, yanked my hand free. "Don't touch me." He didn't flinch. Just looked at me with those wolf-grey eyes like I was the only war he ever wanted to fight. "Dont do that." I blinked."What?" His mouth barely moved."You dont get to do that after what you did." My lips curled into a dangerous smile. "And if I do?" He grabbed me by the jaw-gentle and cruel all at once. My breath hitched. "Then I'll just have to remind you who you belong to." His lips crashes against mine. The kiss was raw, possessive, demanding-his tongue forcing its way past my lips, dominating me until my knees nearly buckled. When he finally pulled back, a thin string of saliva connected us. I let out a needy, humiliating whine at the loss of contact. The world stopped "You want to break things?" His voice a low growl, "Break me.You want pain? I'll give you pain that loves you back. But if you ever throw yourself in front of filth like that again-" His grip on my jaw tightened, not enough to hurt, just enough to own. "I might just kill someone." *** They call me the prince of chaos. The media's favorite sin. Award-winning artist, tabloid disaster, human trainwreck with pretty eyes and prettier scars. But I didn't ask for the crown. I do drugs to sleep. Smoke to breathe. Fuck to feel. Punch cameras.Curse in interviews. And I don't apologize for any of it. That's how I got kai-my new bodyguard. 6ft something of quiet death, jaw sharp enough to cut glass, and eyes like he's already decided how I'll die if I piss him off. He doesn't play nice and he sees too much. And when he touches me, the world gets quiet for once. This isn't your typical love story. It's war. ME vs Myself. ME vs My Past. ME vs the man who swore he'd protect me - even from myself. You want to know how it ends? So do I.
The Unbreakable Thread!
"Get on your knees." The command was a low snarl, laced with a threat that turned my blood to ice. Reluctantly, I complied, one hand clutching my throbbing cheek. My eyes widened in horror as he began to undress, the terrifying reality of the situation crashing down on me. "Touch me," he demanded. I was trapped, paralyzed by a fear I had never known. As he moved closer, the unsettling change in his body left me dizzy with panic and confusion. My mind screamed in silent protest-this was a nightmare from which I couldn't wake. This is not a fairy tale. This is the story of a girl shattered by a brutal invasion, whose spirit was tested by betrayal, shame, and a world that offered no safe haven. It is the story of her survival-a long, arduous journey through pain toward a hard-won strength, and the unexpected love that waited for her on the other side. ***This is the first part of a two-series saga. Your thoughts and comments are deeply appreciated as I share this journey with you.***

Obsession Over Truth - Luca And Adeline | Book 1
Can be read as standalone! Luca leaned in closer, the air between them thick with tension. His gaze was dark, intense-focused solely on her. "You don't understand what you're getting into," he said in a low voice, each word coated with warning and desire. She stood her ground, meeting his gaze with defiance. "Then show me," she replied, her heart pounding in her chest. The danger in his eyes, the way he looked at her as if she were the most coveted thing in the room, sent a shiver down her spine. But she wasn't afraid. Luca's lips curled into a slow, dangerous smile. He reached for her wrist, his touch firm and commanding as he pulled her toward him. "You're playing with fire, sweetheart," he murmured, his breath warm against her skin. His grip tightened, and for a moment, she thought she might lose herself in him-caught in his power, in his world of risk and reward. His lips brushed against hers in a kiss that was anything but gentle. It was fierce, unrelenting, as if he was claiming her as his own. Her body responded before her mind could even catch up, her hands instinctively gripping the fabric of his shirt as if anchoring herself to reality. His lips moved to her neck, hot and possessive, his breath ragged as his hands explored the curve of her back. There was no room for hesitation between them. The danger was real, the attraction undeniable, and yet, neither of them could walk away. "I warned you," Luca whispered against her skin, his voice a deadly promise. The world outside ceased to exist. All that mattered was the fire between them, the pull of a connection neither of them could control.Complete
