"You should just give up now; you know I'm going to win."
For Will, every day is the same. Same house, same room, same game of chess against his mother. He's safe within these walls, she tells him. But when a mysterious black box appears in the attic, Will discovers a life he can't remember-a life with a different mother, a life filled with dark secrets and a violent past.
The more memories he unlocks, the more he questions his reality and the woman who calls herself his mother. Trapped in a house that is both a prison and a sanctuary, Will must piece together his shattered past to understand his present.
But some memories are locked away for a reason. And the truth might be more terrifying than the fiction he's been living. What is the alternative to a life where you are safe, happy, and healthy? Will is about to find out.

And then... there's his. It's not cruel. It's not loud. It's something far more dangerous - quiet, calculated, all-consuming. He was my best friend's brother. The man I was never supposed to notice.

Even the parts I hadn't yet discovered myself. He's always been there, just a step behind-waiting, watching, wanting. And now, he's no longer waiting. He calls it love. I don't know what to call it, only that it pulls me in like gravity - unavoidable, inescapable. There's safety in his arms, yet danger in his silence. Gentleness in his touch, yet fire in his gaze. And somewhere in the tension between fear and longing, I find myself unraveling. Because the scariest part of being wanted like this... Is realizing you might want them back.Complete
