Four futures.
Three secrets.
Two hearts.
One mistake.
No time
“You can't leave me Daniel, you're my last resort."
What would you do if you were hiding a dark secret?
Lacey chose an option that led her down
a path of delinquency. Lacey is a rebel with a reason with
a powerful mask and a badass attitude. It may have all
started as just an act for her, a pretend life to escape the
harsh realism that follows her closer than her own shadow,
but is it becoming reality?
When your life is about hurting other people, who will see
when you’re the one that’s hurt?
There is only one person who can save her. Will it matter
to either of them that he is her assigned mentor at her
new school and she is just a student? Or will the harsh
riddles that plague life terminate everything that could have
been. After all, Lacey isn’t the only one hiding dark secrets.
They say true love conquers all, but one big mistake may bring their fall...

She was shattered, her past erased by pain, her voice stolen by trauma. He was a ruler-not just of politics but of the shadows where justice was a debt paid in blood. Ruthless to those who took justice for granted, yet never cruel to the innocent. At an early age, he learned one truth-power commands justice. Without it, you're nothing. That night, their worlds collided. He found her-battered, nameless, drowning in silence. He should've walked away. But something about her... felt familiar. A forgotten memory. A name lost in time. A connection buried beneath scars. She had no past she was willing to share. He had a childhood he never let go of. But fate doesn't ask for permission-it rewrites the story in the most ruthless ways. Some scars don't just heal... they reveal. And when the truth surfaces, will it mend what was lost or destroy them both? A story of pain, justice and an unexpected love that blooms in the darkest places.

His mistress
Loving him was the cruelest kind of torment-a love that lived in the shadows, one that could never bask in the warmth of the sun. I was nothing more than a stolen moment, a whispered name in the dark, a secret he tucked away between the life he had built and the one he wished he could have. I knew, deep down, that I was a fracture in his story, a fleeting escape from the weight of his reality. And yet, I still clung to him, to the illusion that for a few precious hours, he was mine. But the truth was relentless-it came in the form of unanswered texts, in the way he dressed hurriedly after loving me, in the way he said her name with the same tenderness he once gave me. I had given him my heart, knowing he would never be able to keep it, and yet, I loved him still. Loved him as I watched him walk away, loved him as he returned to the arms of the woman he truly belonged to, loved him as I drowned in the loneliness he left behind. Because no matter how much I wished it to be different, I was not his home-I was just a place he visited before going back to where his heart truly lived.Complete
