Fallen Angel

TW: Mention of drugs, alcohol, sex, depression. Unhealthy relationship. Extremely toxic male lead. Dark romance.
The first time I saw him, I thought, "How can one person be so beautiful?" It didn't take long to realize I wasn't the only one captivated by him. Everyone wanted a piece of him and I was no different. He had the looks of an angel, but I would soon learn that he was anything but holy. He knew the effect he had on people; he was selfish, arrogant, and self-obsessed, but no one could blame him. After all, he had the kind of allure that made you forget everything else. And like everyone else, I found myself drawn to him. My eyes would search for him in crowded rooms, following the sound of his laugh, drifting towards his magnetic presence. I could only hope he'd notice me, too. What I thought was just a crush quickly spiralled into an obsession. Jacob Fusco was a real-life fallen angel, and I had no idea that meeting him would be the worst thing that ever happened to me. What began as fascination quickly turned toxic, and with every step I took toward him, I lost more of myself. This is the story of how I met him- and how the perfect image I built around him slowly crumbled, revealing the haunting darkness he carried inside. And despite everything, I couldn't stay away. In the end, I wasn't just falling for him- I was falling apart for him.
