Reign Over Rhys
He watches her from the dark, ruthless, calculative, and utterly unhinged. A stalker. A killer. A man with a past soaked in blood and a future painted with her name. 𝔸𝕦𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕣'𝕤 ℕ𝕠𝕥𝕖 : A Quick Update Regarding Our Book Here📌 I've decided to go back and perform some much-needed surgery on certain chapters of this book. Looking back, I think I was a bit too fond of the "silly and dramatic" when I first wrote them, and my current standards are screaming for a rewrite. If you notice things shifting around, don't panic, it's just me fixing the plot holes and toning down my younger self's flair for the theatrical. To avoid any confusion while I'm under the hood of this one, feel free to dive into my second book instead. It's almost finished, polished, and significantly less dramatic (well, mostly). It'll keep you occupied while I finish making this one presentable. Yours truly, Cecilia20NdichuComplete
