Escape was the one thing Adrienne King had always dreamt of. It didn't happen exactly the way she planned it, but after over two decades she believed her life could finally begin and she could close the book on the past. If only she'd realized that there is no closing the book, not while the unknown is always waiting around the corner.
It seemed like that part of her life was finally over--the lying and stealing and mind games. Certainly Adrienne never expected she would have to fear for her life again, but when a stranger shows up demanding two million dollars in six months as a repayment for the crimes of her father and brother, she quickly realizes that their influence on her life isn't over yet. For five years she wondered what her brother was up to and now she's about to find out.

⚠️THIS STORY IS OLD. IT ISN'T VERY GOOD. THE OTHER BOOK IS BETTER⚠️ Adeline was a good kid. She worked hard, took care of herself, and didn't let anybody push her around. At least that's what the kids at school thought. But, like most people, she had secrets. Things nobody knew about her. Nobody knew her mother and stepfather hated her. Nobody knew she lived alone with her best friend. Nobody knew that, outside of school, she was a totally different person. Nobody knew what she had been through, and all the things that left her shattered. This is how she lived her life. This is the only life she had ever known. But what would happen if all of that changed? Could one school lecture, a mishap at the courthouse, and a DNA test change her life forever? For the better or for the worst, Adeline's life is about to change. And for once in her life, she might not have to keep so many secrets. ********************************* Started: 6/18/2022 Finished: 7/29/2022 © 2022 Taylor Sassone Cover by my awesome sister @owlhootsburger13Complete
