THE WAY WE LOVED

"I was a downpour to his desert, he was dying, and I never even knew I was the one keeping him alive."
Stefan Baxter is the kind of guy who doesn't just leave bruises, he leaves wreckage. A guy born of recklessness and ruin, wrapped in leather and bad decisions, a walking contradiction of sin and silence. He's the type people whisper warnings about-the kind who doesn't love, doesn't stay, doesn't care.

And me? I'm the girl who should have listened.

But some disasters don't come with a way out. Some storms don't pass. I met him in the wrong place, at the wrong time, in a world I was never meant to step into. And for a while, I lie to myself. I tell myself his stare-the one that feels like a blade pressed to my throat-doesn't make my pulse stutter. That his presence... the way it wraps around me like a noose, like a promise, like a goddamn prayer-doesn't make me want to fall.

But Stefan Baxter is not a love story. He's the lesson I was never meant to survive.

Because some boys were made to ruin you. Some loves were never meant to last.
And some girls? They learn too late that the most beautiful mistakes are the ones that leave you in pieces.
