Everyone has their demons, including Valerie Monet. Except hers were displayed for the entire world to see. And because everyone knew hers, they swore they knew her entire being like the back of their hands--demoting the complexity of her character to the one of a mere slut. It was best to stay away from her or she'd put a curse on you. If you did as little as utter a word to her, you'd become as low as her, and no one wanted that. But in the eyes of everyone else, it seemed that Lorenzo Adelardi wanted just that. What others didn't understand was just how hypnotizing Valerie was. It's the reason why her name lingers on everyone's tongue, it's the reason why he ended up falling down the rabbit hole that was Valerie's quintessence. Soon, everyone will eat their words and Valerie Monet will no longer be the outcast. Everyone will exist knowing that their secrets are no longer a mystery to their friends, parents, teachers, kids, and it will spread and fester until they eat them alive. Only then will they realize what it feels like to live a day in Valerie's shoes. And it all starts with Easton Bates. - WARNING: This story includes violence, self-harm, eating disorders, and sexual scenes. Please be advised.
