~Zack smiled watching Ava's cheeks turn hot-pink. Goosebumps scattered over her bare shoulders. Everyone in the audience bounced looks off of each other, searching for how to respond.
Were they all sadistic? Probably. Why else would they be here?~
This novella follows a group of pre-smartphone teenagers and the evolution of their secret, co-ed fight club. In Tammy's basement, they find new ways to escape cultural expectations, rocky parental relationships, and themselves. But will they ever escape the basement?
Loosely based on a true story, L. CLARK's debut captures the nauncies of a culture specific to rural, Bible Belt towns in an early 2000s USA. With raunchy fight scenes and heartbreakingly relatable traumas, The Sadist in Us is a literary fiction that keeps you asking questions.
{This is a book previously self-published by me, L. CLARK, on Am*zon. I decided to share a good amount of the book, for free, here on Wattpad a chapter at a time. I believe art, especially lgbt written art, needs to be made accessible more than anything right now.}
Guru, a ruthless gangster loyal to Sanjay Bhai, lives by the rules of the underworld-until fate plays a cruel joke. At his enemy's daughter's wedding, he kidnaps the bride for revenge... only to later discover she's Avni, the enemy's other daughter.
Avni, who lived peacefully with her mother far from this brutal world, is pulled into chaos after her mother's death. Returning to her estranged father's home, she never imagined that stepping in for her sister on the wedding stage-to protect her family's honor-would change her life forever.
Now forced into a marriage born of hate, trapped in a world she doesn't belong to, Avni must survive among enemies while guarding her heart. But what happens when the man who took everything from her begins to fall for the fire in her eyes?
A tale of betrayal, passion, and unexpected love-where revenge was the plan, but destiny had other ideas.
