Emerald

This is a story on a girl named Saphire, she built her life on control. After surviving a past that she will never forget, she promised herself she would never be vulnerable again. No risks. No attachments. No one close enough to hurt her.

But then, a boy enter's her life. River.

As soon as he saw those Emerald eyes, he knew that he wanted her all to himself.

The moment she saw him, her heart fluttered.
He's sharp edges and has a quiet intensity, the kind of boy people misunderstand. He doesn't push her-he waits. He watched. And somewhere between late-night conversations and lingering touched that mean too much, Saphire lets him in. What starts as stolen glances turns into something deeper, something that she never planned for.

They keep it secret. River falls first, and harder. He falls completely-protective, patient, unwavering, obsessed. Saphire tries to convince herself she's still in control, that this doesn't own her heart the way her past once did.

Until the past finds her.

Suddenly the walls she thought were strong begin to shake. And River- who would do anything for her before letting anyone hurt her again-has to decide how far he's willing to go to keep her safe.
