"We're going to be killed, aren't we?" The words coated with fear tremble out of her mouth and I look up at her with my raising heartbeat.


"Not that easily." I tell her but clearly it wasn't enough to vanish the fear clouding in her eyes. So I reach for her hand and hold it firm.


"Scarlett, do you trust me?" I ask and her answer comes after a moment of killing silence making me almost believe that she doesn't trust me enough.


"I do." She says, giving rise to every ounce of strength I had in me to stand up on her belief towards me.

.........................................

And just like that, Scarlett Valentina risks her everything on her bodyguard, Shawn Mendes who she barely knows and steps towards the unknown future that is having so much in store for her that she never imagined.

Will things fall into their right places or fall apart after she has put her belief on someone even though her fate hadn't been so kind to her in her past?

And about that damn bodyguard, is he really trustworthy enough to save her or the devil she needs to be saved from?


Time to find out how many shades their secrets have.



Are you ready?

You better be.

Her deepest secrets are inked into her skin, the black lines a reminder of her dark past. No one can find out about them... Not even him. Everyone has three lives: A public life, a private life, and a secret life. For Adilyn her public life appears normal, with medically trained hands delivering infants into the world every day and friends by her side; her life seems happy. But lies and secrets are like cancer of the soul, they eat away at what is good and leave only darkness behind. For Adilyn, darkness spreads uncontrollably through her; the pain and secrets of her past surging it through. However, when a persistent man presses his way into her life, surprising feelings are forced her way: compassion, affection, warmth, and most powerfully lust. Will she let the brightness of his presence puncture through the darkness? Or is the risk of her world shattering again too strong? Little does she know he has his own secrets that may just ruin her.
