Harry I had everything I could wish for. Dream job? Check. Big house? Check. Fat bank account? Check. Supportive family? Girls at my feet? Check. And, CHECK. The only thing was, even if I had everything I wanted, I couldn't have her. Lily Ela Swine Castellano was the bane of my existence. She was the muse at the back of my life. Hanging by a fine thread between giving up and fighting for her, I had to keep the promise alive that was made some years ago, which we both hated but couldn't break it off. Stuck between wanting and leaving her, I had no way out. But one thing was sure: If I can't have her, then no one can. ☆ Lily Studying as a Pre-med student was okay. My life was okay. I was okay. Everything was okay until Harry Hilton came flooding back into my life. He was the person your parents would remind you to stay away from. He's the disappointment in my already-planned life. With his perfectly combed jet-black hair and eyes filled with unwanted trouble, I couldn't do much more than endure him. But that isn't how I feel when I have him around me. Rather, this fleeting connection of years makes me want to know him more and show him the pearl of a heart he has, which is perfectly hidden inside an oyster of his body. I shouldn't have him, but my heart can.

In the beginning, there was death. The darkness flows from hues of purple and orange, the moon rising to kiss the sun's rays one last time as the darkest cloud of night I've ever seen falls over our tiny haven. I catch Will's face from the side of my vision and my heart tightens slightly. The tick of his jaw wouldn't be noticeable for anyone but me. His best friend, his lifeline. A solemn tear forms in my eye as he wipes his face, another tear falling for the family he lost. I love him. Utterly and desperately so, but, there's nothing I can do about that. The ultimate forbidden fruit, if you will. I reach to comfort him and he doesn't respond. I open my mouth to speak and he looks my way, but the gleam in his dark brown eyes hits the moonlight just right and I fall. My voice escapes my throat and I can't do it. I've tried for years to tell him. 10 years, actually. All this time, I hopelessly remained devoted to a ghost who had given the best of himself to a fiery red-head with a sassy personality and the body of a supermodel. For 10 years, I held to the desperate thought that maybe, just maybe, he'd be someone I could count on. Instead, I watched him marry my best friend, smiled as they welcomed their son. Stood, holding that beautiful boy as his mother was in the first round of executions after the beginning of the Revelation. Helped heal Will's wounds in the aftermath. Cried, clutching the tear-stained shirt of my best friend as his son took his last staggering breath in that first harsh winter. The guilt of my emotions crawl through me. My heart twisting in regret, guilt, desperation, and grief. I loved my best friend. She was so much more than that; she was my family. In this dystopian quick read, join a group of people desperate to recapture their freedom and end a tyrant's reign.
