The Perfect Hold by selenefedorov
5 parts Ongoing Mature
NSFW Celeste Evans has finally found the life she's always dreamed of and freedom from the shadows of her past. And she owes it all to Silas Grant. Silas is everything she thought she'd never have: loving, patient, and devoted, the kind of man who would move mountains to see her happy. From the moment he helped her escape her old life, he has been her sanctuary, her protector, the man who has anticipated her every need. Now, as they prepare to leave their London flat for a quiet village in the English countryside, Silas insists on handling every detail of the move, leaving Celeste free from worry. He wants her to rest, to heal, to be happy. But as boxes stack in the empty corners of their once-vibrant home, an inexplicable feeling begins to unsettle Celeste. It's something faint, just at the edge of her awareness-a quiet question that no amount of reassurance seems to erase. Her friends express their concerns in subtle ways, and Celeste dismisses them. After all, Silas is perfect. His affection and care have given her everything she never thought possible. Yet as she stands in the near-empty rooms of their apartment, she wonders if the life they share has been constructed for her rather than by her. Small moments- his way of always knowing where she is, what she's thinking-start to shift her perspective, making her question her place in the life he's so meticulously crafted. In Silas's love, Celeste once found peace. But now, as they prepare to leave the city behind, she begins to wonder if his devotion may come at a price she's only just beginning to understand. For the first time, Celeste must decide if she can trust the man who gave her everything or if he's built a world where she might lose herself completely.

"I'm so sorry! This is all my fault! I should have protected you! I'm so sorry Koby" I sobbed loudly. "It's okay. It's not your fault" Koby weakly said. "It is! No one should be exposed to this. Not now, not EVER!" I yelled. "Calm down, mom. I'm okay. He didn't rape me. The stupid son of bitch couldn't even figure out my zipper" she joked as she wiped away her tears. "Why was he here? Was he looking for your uncle? Did he say ANYTHING?" I asked. "He said he was here to collect a debt Uncle Eddie owed, but I know that he's been working every night to pay them back. I'm so confused. Maybe he's been lying about actually going to work at night. Maybe he's gambling behind our backs again. Where the hell is Eddie? I'm going to fucking kill him!" I shouted right as I bolted for the door. If you are looking for your boy meets girl and fall in love story, this is not the novel for you. It is just the opposite. Love, violence, mishaps, and intrigue define this saga. Unfortunately for Jakoby, from the very beginning life has thrown her curve balls, but she has managed to conquer what some consider to be impossible. Even after overcoming the truth of being conceived under unfortunate circumstances, ending up having to make tough personal decisions, and losing those who should have cared for her didn't break her spirit. Years later, her life takes a turn for the better after a few horrifying unpredictable years. What happens when one of Jakoby's decisions end up making her future unpredictable? What happens when the lessons she left behind travel back to haunt the life she's established for herself?

But will Nepeta be able to prove herself as a capable adult or just another nuisance to add to their list of problems? [There will be some spoilers for Homestuck]
