[ ONGOING ] A DARK ROMANCE

❝Estelle, my darling," Mother cooed, looking down thoughtfully upon me.
"Yes, Mother?"
Her hand snaked down from my shoulder to my wrist, gripping it tightly as if she was my personal handcuffs.  
I flinched as her thumb brushed the marks William had left upon my cheek.
"The bruises really bring out your eye color.❞

At what point, does being your mother's daughter become a negative trait? At what point, does the sugarcoated protectiveness turn into obsession and control? At what point did Estelle Strathen decide to take matters into her own blood-stained hands? Fighting fire with fire has never been such an ironic phrase.

I sigh, slipping off my coat. My short-sleeve blouse underneath. My grab marks and cigarette burns danced across my skin. I softly place the coat in Dexters stretched-out hand. Various stages of bruising on my arms are now visible. I couldn't help but notice the tension increase in the air. Nobody says anything. Mr. Greyson runs his hands through his hair and over his face. A heavy sigh leaves his lips. "Sit on my desk." He says this as he continues to sit in his chair. Shame and embarrassment fuel my body as I sit down on his deck in front of him. He looks at my arm, wrapped tightly. Before unwrapping delicately as if foreign to his nature. "Jesus Christ," he mumbles under his breath as more and more of my arm is unwrapped. He places the wrap on the desk, looking at it intently. He looks at Dexter. "Go get Jermery." He says to Dexter "Yes, boss," he says.

CADEN: A dark college bully romance

24 parts Ongoing Mature

"What about you makes you think you're so special?" he whispered, his eyes fixated on her lips. "Let go of me, Caden," she sneered, her anger palpable. "You pretend to be a good girl," he taunted, leaning in close. "But every good girl wants to be bad for one." His eyes trailing down her neck, lust hodded his gaze. Before he could finish, she pushed him away. "Touch me again, and I'll make you regret it," she warned. "What is there a good boy knows that a bad boy doesn't," smirking, he stepped closer, only to receive a resounding slap across the face. "I have heard enough stories. Sometimes a bad guy is just a bad guy," she turned to step away from him, but in an instant, his lips seized hers, pressing her against the wall, a glimpse into the intensity with which he sought to demonstrate his peculiar brand of punishment. "Then consider yourself wanted by this bad guy." Caden Stelle is the bad boy of the very college where Sophia Blackwell came to study, but little did she know the place where she is staying belonged to the same person she is scared of, and there was no escape when he staked his eyes upon her.
