He came to ruin her. She asked him to do it slowly.
.
"You know the bad people, right? The one you should never trust. In the end... They love you too. So what should I do? What the fuck should I do?"
Everyone has baggage. Chains from the past rattle when disturbed. Theirs did too.
Eris wasn't looking for love.
She was never meant to belong.
Not while surviving.
Not in the eyes of someone she should've stayed away from.
She knew the games. The charm. The lies dressed as lullabies. Still, she fell.
All she asked for was one thing:
"Drown me gently."
Even that... was a mistake.
Then there's Kai Blackwood, Crestwood's untouchable bad boy. Ruthless, cunning, and dangerously charming, he sets his sights on Eris for all the wrong reasons. He believes she's connected to his worst enemy, and he's determined to make her pay, consumed with the fire of revenge, he would do anything to get what he wanted.
Love was never part of the plan. Or so he thought. Until it was too late.
This is a tale so tangled even fate pulled up a chair to watch.
As secrets unravel and deception runs deep, where desires blur into destruction,
and everything comes with a cost. And nothing's safe.

A Silver Lining
Completed. If life gives you lemon, make lemonade out of it. But if life gives you lemonade, what can you do with it? That's the situation Stella finds herself in when the Finch couple shows up at her doorsteps and reveals the darkest secret of her life. At that moment, Stella didn't think things could get any worse. If she then knew it was only the beginning of the longest chapter of her life. ... "And before you reach any conclusion, I don't like you, in any way." "Good because I don't like you either," He said bluntly. "I happen to love you." I barely had anytime to mule over his words before he grasped the back of my neck and pulled me tightly into his chest. He buried his face in my hair and whispered in my ears, "So, will you be my valentine?" His arms slid down around my waist and looked down at me hopefully. I stared back. I couldn't tell what was happening. I wanted to say yes, no, something. But nothing was coming out. It felt like I've lost my voice all of a sudden. I couldn't even trust my voice and felt my head nodding. And before I knew it, Ryan Anderson was kissing me. * cover picture collected from Pinterest* © 2018-2019 SIREXCC001 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.Complete
The Bad Boy's Journal
"Have we met before?" Those were the words that seemed to echo through the very depths of our souls. Elena Smith is your typical high-school girl. No, she does not like the spotlight. In fact, she prefers to take the quieter route with much less drama and less people. Her number one enemy is betrayal, wounds may heal but that doesn't mean the scar won't be there. Everybody has a chapter they don't read out loud, everybody is fighting a battle that you know nothing of. Why were people so quick to judge her? None of this matters now for she's stronger, she rose from hell but nonetheless that doesn't mean the pain doesn't come back from time to time. "Smile through the tears." That's what she has been telling herself throughout the years. Diego Matthews, hah! Your typical bad boy, player, womanizer and manwhore... or so you may assume. Was he always like this? Is there a reason that triggered all this insensitivity? Is he fighting a battle nobody knows of? Could she be the one to see the light in him? Will they remember that she was his light a few years back when all he saw was pitch black? People change, but they will soon realise that they have a tied up past. It wasn't their fault, of course. Simply the cause of their suffering... Will they be able to break down each other's walls completely? Lord knows how high they built them. Highest: #67 hilariousComplete

But what Liliana didn't know was that The Solace Institute wasn't just a school. It was part of something far larger. She was part of something far larger. She was their project.
