Chased by the Dark (Paradise Series#5)
(Paradise Series#5)
Annatalia is the only child of a wealthy couple-born into luxury, raised in a world of expectations. To outsiders, she has it all: beauty, wealth, and a life where everything she wants is within reach.
But the truth is far from what people see.
Behind the gates of their mansion and away from the crowd, her parents wear a different face. They are cold, controlling, and distant when no one's watching. Her world, though filled with riches, lacks the warmth of genuine love.
Then she met Soren.
He became the reason she smiled again, the reason she looked forward to school. Just seeing him brought life back into her dull, controlled days. She fell hard for him-so much that she was willing to give everything, even her life, just to keep him close.
But the world can be merciless.
Just when her life began to bloom with color and light, the shadows returned-stronger, darker, and more determined to break her. The darkness followed her, hunted her, and refused to stop until she was completely shattered.
Yet even in her darkest hours, love never left her.
Because while the world may never choose her-
There is one person who always will.
Even if it means breaking himself just to keep her whole.
