Into the Unknown
Highest ranking #205 in mystery/thriller "Come up to the playroom, pet", he said, smirking. "Oh, screw you Vincent", she finally snapped. She got dragged into this anyway, but she'd be damned if she stood there and took this for another second! Suddenly, he grabed her and pinned her against the wall, her back making a loud noise as it collided with the wall. "I told you to call me Master", he growled. Aileen looked up at him, her eyes filled with raw terror. Vincent was big and strong, as he towered over her, he could seriously hurt her. Taken aback by the wild look in her eyes, Vincent immediately let her go, as if her skin burned his hands. "I'm sorr-" ,he tries to tell her, but Aileen quickly runned up the stairs and locked herself in the bathroom. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° The thing about psychopaths though, is that they're notorious for their lack of fear, but also their ability to mimick emotions in order to manipulate people into doing their bidding. And Aileen was doing just that. Warning: this book contains mental illness, violence, mentions of drug use (the first 3 chapters are sort of a prequel, the story picks up after that, but they are still very important)Complete
